One Sweet Week – The perfect way to top your wedding cake!
When

decoration, the details — don’t forget that one important element that will tie
it all together: the cake top!
We’ve
got the solution for you. Our crystal-clear, acrylic cake tops are so beautiful
and so stylish without interfering with out the design of your cake. And
they’re even personalized, making them instant keepsakes. You’ll be able to display
your personalized cake top in your home as a little work of art after the
wedding.
Just
look at all your choices!
1. Custom
Square Acrylic Cake Top
Create
an unforgettable, custom cake top with all of our personalization options!
Choose a monogram (1a); your names, wedding date and a design (1b); a single
initial monogram
(1c); or your names and wedding date separated by a heart design.
2.
Custom Round Acrylic Cake Top
Round
and elegant, like a sweet little crown for your cake! Choose a monogram
(2a); your monogram surrounded by a beautiful verse
(2b); or your names, wedding date and a design (2c).
3.
Acrylic Heart Cake Top
It’s so romantic! This crystal-clear heart is personalized with your first
names (kind of like the You + Him doodles you used to make before you got
engaged)!
4.
Black and White Acrylic Cake Top
Add
dimension and style to your wedding cake with this cake top’s design of black
daisies on one side and white swirls on the other.
A
beautiful verse makes this cake top extra-meaningful. Choose the verse alone

with your names and wedding date engraved on the back for a personal touch
(5b).
Enjoy!
P.S.
Treat your groom to a cake of his own — find great ideas tomorrow!

our grey flourish guest book. The closure is a brilliant rhinestone that makes it fun to open and close your
registry.
2. Make sure you're sparkling underneath it
all with a rhinestone garter.
The rhinestone is in the shape of a horseshoe for added wedding day luck!

guest book pen a rich and elegant touch to your wedding.

Unique wedding cake toppers that you will love!
Our friends at Wishpot.com have shared some unique wedding cake toppers with us and we knew you would love them too. Read on!
I personally love DIY wedding items, such as invitations,
favors, or bouquets. There is nothing more personal than opening a handmade
invitation and knowing the work and effort that went into it. I have tried my
hand at DIY projects in the past and have failed miserably. Sadly, I do not
have a crafty bone in my body. For those of you out there who are artistically
inclined, like me, there are some great handmade items you can purchase to
incorporate a personalized feel to your big day.
A wedding cake is a necessary part in any wedding
reception. However, baking your own wedding cake seems like a great
undertaking, especially if your experience in the kitchen extends to opening a
microwave meal when you get home from work. A great way to add a handmade touch
to your cake is with hand crafted wedding toppers.
While scouring the wish lists of our wedding experts I
ran across expert Erinn
Elizabeth Ryan’s great handmade pick. It is a delicate, handmade
monogrammed wedding
topper. The sparkling topper is precision cut from an acrylic
mirror and It is a great way to add a personal touch to your wedding cake.
I also found these adorable personalized wooden
doll toppers. You can customize the dolls’ hair and
clothing’s style and color. You also have the option to include any fun hobby
you have like soccer or hiking.
Another great way to personalize your cake is with these delicate
Love
Bird Cake Toppers. The artist will engrave virtually any word
or phrase you desire on the bird’s wings or bottom. The bride and groom’s name,
inspirational words, or the wedding date are popular choices.
For those of you like me, whose artistic skills have not
surpassed kindergarten level, but desire a custom touch for your wedding cake,
try one of these cute toppers and prepare to slice into your cake with a
smile!

A color story to inspire you: “Sunshine Summer” in yellow and navy
We’ve
been imagining summer weddings lately, and oh, the visions we’ve had! Here’s
one we can’t wait to share with you — bold, bright yellow to match the sunshine
and crisp navy to mirror the sky (or the sea, depending on your location)!
We’ve
put together a Color Story in Sunshine Summer yellow and navy to give you ideas
for creating a wedding look that’s bright and beautiful. Just look at all the
options you have for mixing, matching and coordinating!
1.
Choose an invitation that lets you play with color — our “Jade” custom layered wedding invitation is perfect for our look, with a midnight bottom layer and canary ribbon, and personalize with your choice of 2 ink colors, any fonts, and a monogram or design.
2.
Tie a yellow ribbon ‘round — everything! Ribbon
is the perfect accent to vases
of flowers, favors and more.
3,4.
Our Yellow Modern Place Cards
are perfect for stylishly directing guests to their reception seats and for
accenting favors. Think lemon drops in clear cellophane bags
to match your color scheme.
5,6,9.
Get creative with ribbon and stickers!
Personalize cloth napkins with a band of ribbon and a sticker, dress up clear
favor boxes or accent your favor tins for a touch of bold color.
7.
When all else is full of color, give the eyes a rest with a clear custom acrylic
cake top
engraved with your monogram or design.
8.
Show your bright, contemporary style with our Yellow Modern Wedding Invitation
Cards.
10.
The bright, sunshiny days of summer means your guests will need to keep cool. Custom fan programs in midnight paper and tied with canary ribbon will do the trick.
11.
A beautifully decorated cupcake for dessert couldn’t be more playful or fun for
guests. Present yours on a filigree porcelain plate
and add a favor tag
with ribbon
for a favor (and dessert!) with a personal touch. Personalize your favor tags with the monogram or design and ink color of choice.
12.
Ah, refreshing! Serve lemony drinks along with personalized coasters
for a fun cocktail hour.
13.
Go simple with centerpieces — what’s sunnier than a pyramid of lemons in a flared
bowl?
14.
With a save the date card this bright and attention-getting, what guests
wouldn’t mark their calendars immediately? Our Yellow Modern Save the Date is perfect for your fresh wedding.
15.
Add some bling to your look with a rhinestone tiara and mimic the sparkle of the sunshine!
16.
Cocktail hour just got more fashionable — serve custom drinks in personalized stemless
glasses for unique toasts.
17.
Go bold with your ceremony look! Our Create Your Look flower basket
lets you choose two ribbon colors for a totally custom creation.
18.
Sunny, goldenrod-yellow napkins
are the perfect finishing touch to your reception.
Enjoy!

An “Old Hollywood” theme to inspire you!
We’re still star-struck by the
Oscars on Sunday! The lights, the glitz, the glamour — everything got us
thinking of a beautiful wedding theme based on Oscar gold and classic details.
Here, we’ve put together an “Old
Hollywood” theme in shades of gold, black and cream to get you inspired. Just
look at all the options you have for mixing, matching and coordinating!
- Lots of
candlelight will reflect the sparkle in your eyes and mimic the glow of
paparazzi flashbulbs, so use candles
liberally throughout your wedding! We added a floating candle to our flared glass bowl
and strung it with strands of pearls for a simple but very rich look.
- The envelope,
please…our “Bridget” custom pocket wedding invitation
is worthy of your award-winning wedding look! Choose gold shimmer paper
and black ribbon to accent the black and cream pocket. Black envelopes are
a dramatic touch.
- Make guests feel
like winners by giving them gold shimmer favor boxes
filled with delicious treats. Tie with “sandcastle” gold silky weave ribbon
and add a feather plume for drama.
- The best-dressed
award will go to…your favors! These cute, black tuxedo favor boxes
and cream gown favor boxes
are a fun and unique way to present guests with a sweet treat. And, attach a couple pearl add-ons for an extra luxurious touch.
- Coordinating enclosure cards for our “Bridget” invitation
will make your stationery ensemble stand out from the crowd.
- Pearls, pearl glaze and
touches of gold accent this couple cake topper figurine — a beautiful statue of your own to remind you of your wedding for years
to come!
- Two-piece favor boxes in glistening, gold
shimmer are perfect for presenting favor goodies to your supporting cast — your
guests!
- Help guests find
their seats easily with place cards
lined up at a table outside the reception entrance. Accent the table with
a dramatic floral arrangement in our personalized rectangular vase
— don’t be afraid to add in satin roses and feathers!
- For toasts
worthy of your big event, choose regal glassware, like these modern flutes
engraved with your monogram.
- Announce your winning dinner menu on
stylish, black menu cards
printed in gleaming, gold lettering.
11,12. When your napkins
match your color scheme, they become important decorating elements. Make them
perfect down to the last detail by printing them with a stylish monogram.
13. Give your walk down the red carpet —
oops! we mean the aisle! — a designer touch with this ecru pleated chiffon
ring pillow.
And make your guest registry elegant with the matching ecru pleated chiffon
guest book
and pen.
14. Look and feel like Hollywood royalty by
wearing a sparkling wedding tiara
for the day!
15. Our large, floral-embossed, ecru favor
boxes feature a clear window in the lid to let guests see the special treats
inside. The boxes are perfect for sending guests home with a special treat at
the end of the reception.
Enjoy!
