and Confection!

Wednesday, November 3, 2010

So many brides are inspired by their dresses, and as I've poured over this season's collections, I can't help but think of the type of wedding each gown might inspire. I imagine that the bride wearing Jenny Packham's slinky, art deco design would chose a cake with similar motifs; Martha Stewart Weddings featured this gorgeous cake, decorated with buttercream pearls and fondant plaques coated in sanding sugar.

Do you think your dress will inspire other design elements, or was your gown part of a larger vision for your big day?

  2. My gown inspired the other colors in my wedding as well as my cake. It's amazing how those things fall into place.

  4. I haven't had my big day yet... sigh.... but I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that he's out there! I hope my gown will set the tone for the whole shibang! Nothing like a pretty white dress with some yummy white cake!

  12. That cake looks too good to cut and eat!
    My wedding is a long way off, but I think my gown and cake will all be small elements of the bigger picture!

  13. My gown was definitely an expression of my style and so was my cake. Timeless, clean, and simple. I love that cake!

  17. This is such a beautiful cake. I had a gorgeous Vera Wang dress but I wasn't really into weddings when I got married (weird, right?). If I were to do it again I would definitely want a matching cake!!!
