Our first blog post is a story about beginnings.  The artist behind all of the designs that you see here started her vision to create wedding cakes over two decades ago.  Her designs span a wide range of celebrations but her truest passion lies in her wedding cakes.

This blog will be dedicated to all things unusually beautiful in the wedding arena.  From Real Weddings to Decorating and Style to Houston Vendor Gems and Behind the Scenes.  And what better way to start than with a story on a Real Wedding that Nancy was truly looking forward to: her first daughter’s wedding cake.

 

“It was particularly special consulting with my daughter and son in law, coming up with the perfect combinations of cake flavors, details, and colors, and finally making the cake with all the beautiful handcrafted accessories for their boho look.”  -Nancy

She captured perfectly the unconventional bohemian vibe that her daughter and son-in-law dreamed about.

Perhaps as a child your dream wedding was comprised of church bells, white doves, and a big fluffy dress. Today’s weddings have evolved.  They are about about making them an expression of yourself, molding your celebration into a reflection of who you are today.  Our clients, Luana and Tony dreamed up their perfect wedding and nailed it when it came to creating a one of a kind celebration that was a reflection of their relationship and their culture. Luana and her now husband Tony, gave us a glimpse of what the art of unique weddings entail.

In a comfortable backyard here in Houston, the Brazilian couple performed their marriage in a roda or circle, with friends and family. The small crowd joined together to bless Luana and Tony with their energy and love as they said their vows and conjoined as husband and wife. The perfect picturesque wedding unfolded as the sun set and as their guests shared stories and laughter amongst the newlyweds. As the day ended, everyone enjoyed their delightful summer wedding cake made by yours truly.  This wedding was a breath of fresh air and overflowed with authenticity and vibrant ethnic culture.

Literally and figuratively speaking, these beautifully executed weddings are happening right in our backyard. As wedding paradigms shift, we find ourselves taking part of something more unique and authentic because we are sharing a part of ourselves.
