A few sweet options for your something blue.

This image was used to model diy cake toppers with repurposed paper but I thought the whole kit and kaboodle was a clever and easy to do. A blue ramekin lined with pink cupcake wrappers and filled with pink chocolate candies. The coolness of the ceramic, frilliness of the liners and, hello, chocolates complement each other nicely. Add a monogram to the topper for that personal touch and you’ve got a treat that everyone will enjoy.

Cupcakes are one of the many new wedding trends but “Whaaat?? You’re not having cake??” Well, a cupcake is a tiny cake. But, just to make sure people know who is who, The Small Object makes custom cupcake wedding toppers to the likeness of the bride and the groom. Two handpainted wooden heads with a bouquet and a top hat, poking out of the top of a cupcake makes it not just any cupcake – a wedding cupcake.

The cake is displayed on a lovely blue plate (making it count as something blue). But the piece de resistance is the cake itself with the subtlety of white fondant and brightness of single pink heart. This one was made by Bakerella but you can make one for yourself (or someone else) and see how it stacks up. Here is their Moist Yellow Cake recipe to get you started: (more…)

It’s all in the details – from the buoyant balloons to the hydrangea blooms, love the look of this all-white Dessert Table by Amy Atlas.

Love the frilliness of this rosie cake by Maggie LaBaugh, owner of Magpie’s Cake and the daintiness of these wedding cookies from Better Bit of Butter.

Alessi makes common, everyday household items a piece of art.

And, their designers are very bird friendly which makes Nestlettes very happy.

And Nestlettes-to-be, Alessi is perfect for your registry!

It’s about that time to be sending off your holiday greetings. No, not emails with animated falling snowflakes – real paper cards with ink, stamps and envelopes. In the mix of the daily email routine, sending the occasional card via postal service is a nice touch.

As timeless as the act of sending a card is the art of letterpress. Hello Lucky is the way to go. They specialize in letterpress (but also create digital prints), their designs are elegant (in a whimsical way) and they are green (recycled paper and tree-free cotton). Have an Every Occasion Card Kit on hand for those times when you want to say you care but don’t know what to say – the design will speak beautifully on your behalf. And if you always know what you want to say, maybe some stationary (although, the stationary is a bit pricey – so you better not eat your words). (more…)
