Add a little bit of nostalgic fun to your wedding with these yummy lollipops from Vintage Confections. I love the idea of using them as affordable favors, and for something a little more substantial you can easily double or triple them up.

Pastry Perfection from Sparkles Kitchen
Tuesday, June 29, 2010
Saying that I am addicted to macarons is really just stating the obvious at this point. My jaw dropped seeing Sparkles Kitchen‘s gorgeous pastries despite the fact I should be burned out on them at this point – although that also may be impossible. Not only do all of Karen’s pastries look absolutely amazing, but [...]
Real Wedding: Marlowe + Josh
Monday, June 28, 2010
The color palette in our wedding today is an absolute stunner.The soft blue with a pop of magenta is making my little designer heart beat fast because I love it as a new spin on the slightly overdone aqua and red color palette. Julie Pepin‘s dreamy photography is the perfect compliment to this incredibly sweet [...]
Hello, Inspo!: Swenson Gardens Peony Farm Tour
Monday, June 28, 2010
Several weeks ago, Devon and I traveled about 45 minutes or so outside of Minneapolis to Swenson Gardens‘ public peony field.

Perfect Pastries: Macarons and Cakes by Bobbette & Belle
Tuesday, June 22, 2010
First of all, big thanks to Shauna Younge for reminding me about Bobbette & Belle, formerly Allyson Meredith Cakes. I’d seen their work a while back, and though I meant to blog about them, it just never happened. Making up for lost time… You know the old expression “a picture is worth a thousand words”? [...]

Bridesmaid Dresses to Swoon Over
Monday, June 21, 2010
