Ironically, when I got married, I didn't love weddings and went for low fuss, DIY options wherever possible. Appallingly, the event coordinator at our wedding venue hadn't actually met me until the day of our wedding but did know my mother, husband and the friends doing our music and decorations quite well. There were particular aspects I had specific ideas about (the cake obviously) but as far as decorations and food went, I wasn't that worried.
But now that the wedding stress is not mine, I love seeing the finished product, the gorgeous venues, colour schemes and decorative touches.
This wedding had a purple colour scheme (my favourite colour) and the venue and decorations were stunning. The Bride originally sent me a picture of a cake she liked and I used this as the basis for my own creation - I hope they loved it!
I didn't get a picture of the side, but I think the piping around the butterflies turned out really well. I hadn't planned to add it until the last minute but I'm glad I did - it really added something to the cake.
I also made personalised toppers for the couple and they wanted their dog transformed topper style as well - so cute!
It's the first time I've made an animal topper and I think it turned out well. The photos were taken at night, hence the light wasn't great but I couldn't be bothered to put together 'the set' again the next morning to take more photos - the props are heavy!
It was also the first time I got to properly use my cake cover........
When we were building the cake cover, my Dad repeatedly asked me if I needed a cover this tall and I assured him that this was the height I would need if I ever did a large cake..............um..........turns out, unless I'm doing any 15-20 tier cakes in the future, I probably don't need a cake cover this tall - my bad! So I've come up with a great idea to make it more versatile :D Dad will be thrilled!
