Cake as Decor

I will be honest, I do not particularly like the taste of cake. Well, at least not the taste of most cakes. Perhaps my dislike for the classic wedding dessert comes from my younger days of catering cookie cutter wedding receptions at a country club in San Diego. Too much slimy frosting, not enough cake. My husband feels the same about cake and so for our wedding, we decided to serve ice cream instead. The ice cream was a huge hit, but I did sort of miss having a beautiful cake as part of our reception decor. These gorgeous cakes are simplistic, yet really add something to the day's celebration.

Antlers. All the Rage?

I seem to be stumbling across more pictures of antlers lately. No, I am not perusing hunting blogs. It appears that this accessory once only used in ski lodges and establishments housing societies of old men has become mainstream in fashion and decor. I am going to go out on a limb here and say that antlers are the new black. Although it might not be your first choice of wedding design elements, you have to admit antlers can be a great way to create a unique, show stopping environment. These are some of my favorite favorite antler infused images. How do you feel about the antler motif? Let me know!
