I came across these cute little table items and favors from the French site, undecorsecree.com.  Simple and pretty.

Remember round, white wedding cakes?  Well look at them now.  Brilliant color and unusual shapes.  Cupcakes for a wedding?  If you are thinking supermarket baked goods think again.  Designer cupcakes are brilliantly arranged, some with small cakes on top. 

Can’t afford a Ron Ben-Israel?  There is a solution which more and more brides are considering: The artificial cake.  An artificial cake can look just like a top-of-the-line designer wedding cake.  Made from styrofoam, some of these cakes are blended with real cake for cutting by placing an actual cake on top or bottom of the artifical one.  Or you can use an all artificial cake and purchase a sheet cake for cutting and serving.

Below are some trendy examples of the modern-day wedding dessert.

An artificial chocolate cake from Cakerental.com looks good enough to eat.

There are over 400 species in the genus Ranunculus, including buttercups.  Those most commonly seen in bridal bouquets and floral arrangements are the Tecolote ranunculus.  The Tecolotes are one of my favorite flowers and I often use them in silk to make my bouquets.  These stunning flowers in nature or in silk are perfect creations which bring drama and romance to floral creations.

Below some examples of ranunculus, including a Vera Wang arrangement and our own Bohemian Garden bouquets and centerpieces.  We’ve also included a photo of a buttercup, another delicate and useful member of genus Ranunculus.

We love the fresh, lively look of these items from Opening Ceremony.   Young, flirty, different.
