Why not go for the entire rainbow?
Take this super fun cake for example – the four-tier cake would be real showstopper at your wedding. No one expects a wedding cake with rainbow stripes and fruit slice candy. Read More

Wedding Cake with Lemon and Thyme
One of my all-time favorite summer flavors is lemon.
Whether it’s lemonade or lemon meringue pie, you can’t go wrong with lemon in summer.
Plus, their bright yellow color make everything more cheerful.
Perhaps this is why I’m loving this bright yellow lemon and thyme wedding cake.
The cake is a lemon-thyme base and in between the tiers are alternate layers of lemon curd and vanilla buttercream – two flavors that pair deliciously. Read More

Well, wouldn’t it be nice to give your guests a way to keep cool and look cool at the same time? That’s where these very cute and very functional sandalwood fans come into play!
These fans are made from natural wood and are carved with an intricate design – and they’re perfect for cooling off at your outdoor summer wedding! The fans feature a white tassel and can also be personalized with a custom label.

Floral Wedding Cupcake
It’s been a while since we featured any cupcakes, so I thought it was time to find a fun and festive wedding cupcake to share.
I have to say this bouquet-inspired cupcake is almost too pretty to eat. Almost.
The cupcake would be ideal at a smaller wedding reception, or even as an accompaniment to your full-size wedding cake. It would be a great wedding favor for your guests to take home too – packaged in “take home” containers. So cute. Read More

But what makes this cake perfect for your summer beach wedding are the incredible decorations. Read More
Fun Wedding Favors – Coffee Beans
As a coffee fan, I have to admit I would love to receive roasted coffee beans as a wedding favor.
It’s such a fun favor and shows that the bride and groom really wanted to give their guests a gift they’ll actually enjoy.
I found these favors on Etsy from AproposRoasters located in Richmond, Virginia. The coffee beans are fresh roasted and each personalized package contains enough beans to be ground for one pot of coffee.
If you don’t want to give whole beans, you can also choose ground coffee that’s ready to be brewed by your guests as soon as they arrive home!
The packaging can be personalized with your choice of ink color, custom stamp, and each paper wrapped package is tied with twine. (The coffee is packaged in glassine bags to ensure freshness.

And if you’re going to keep things simple, it’s always a good idea to make it simply beautiful. Read More
