White Carnations, Ribbon Flowers And A Black Pleated Handle Turn This Bouquet Into A Scene Stealer!

Martha Stewart offers this pleated black handle bouquet made with inexpensive but deluxe white carnations.  If you look carefully at this bouquet you'll also see some handmade white ribbon flowers added to the mix--a beautiful way to add another texture to the bouquet.

Black and White Ice Cream Cupcakes

This double-decker angel food cupcake with it's boutique cupcake paper is perfect for a wedding. It looks just like an asymmetrical wedding cake! This cupcake was an entry in a contest and was created by The Insomniac Baker. The recipe is on the Baker's web page linked previously. Photos also courtesy of The Insomniac Baker.

Try out this combination of angel food cake and meringue with gelato! Two fluffy angel food cupcakes with meringue gelato in the middle and a smooth, Swiss meringue buttercream on top, with a sweet little meringue cookie to top it all off--perfection! These are an ice cream cupcake though so your caterer will need to assemble them on site and they won't work for a sweet table. You could probably adapt the recipe to use something other than the gelato if you wanted to use them for a sweet table display.

Happy Memorial Day!

Just wanted to wish all my readers a Happy Memorial Day! Enjoy your cookouts or beach trips or the day at the pool. See you tomorrow! Nancy&Bill

Black and White Striped Accents

This wedding with black and white accents (actually a Halloween wedding) is a perfect example of using black and white for your wedding colors and making it work! Whether it's the striped sash or the table accents or the grooms tie the addition of black to the white is just enough, without being too much.

The groom's bow tie is featured on Erin's Heart Court blog along with other photos.

Look for the fabric for the runner from IKEA! Style doesn't have to be expensive!

And this little pumpkin of a flower girl's dress is by Lily Anna for Girls.
