Wedding Cake Pops

Following with the theme of non-traditional wedding desserts, we had to share these cake pops that we stumbled upon!

Cherry Bomb Gourmet Cupcakes and Cake Pops

How perfect are these?! Just the right amount of cake, and you don't lose the wedding 'feel'. You wouldn't have to worry about having cake toppers, and you could have so many flavor varieties too!

What's the most creative wedding dessert you've seen lately?

Miniature Wedding Desserts

We're loving the trend of miniature wedding desserts right now! Not only can they be super cute, but they're practical too! There's not a ton of leftover cake to deal with, and you can customize all different flavors and fillings.

So this week, we're rolling out our top 3 favorite mini desserts we've seen:

First up, the miniature wedding cake!

These are so cute you almost don't want to eat them! You still get the traditional wedding cake look, just in the perfect portion :)

And who says you can't have seconds?!

Herbal Centerpieces as Favors

Fresh Herbs are a fragrant and delicious addition to any home garden and home-cooked meal, but have you ever thought of using them as your table centerpieces at your wedding? If not, you should!

It doesn't take any flower arranging skills, just the willingness to get a little dirt under your nails.

Picture them grouped in all different vintage glass, ceramic, and basket containers on top of pretty lace runners or fabric in your color scheme. Perfect for any Summer or Garden Wedding!

The herbs themselves are inexpensive and you can take your time collecting the containers throughout your planning months.

Little chalkboard signs with notes of thanks for your guests would make these perfect to double as favors as well! Don't you love double-duty details?!

DIY Initial Wreath

Using your initials or monogram throughout your wedding details is so popular now and I was super excited when I found this great tutorial on Scout & Nimble to share with you!

Doesn't it create such a stunning pop of color?

Supplies you'll need are: plant trimmings (she used boxwood from their yard), a straw wreath, hot glue gun with extra glue sticks, spray paint in your color palette, wooden letter that fits in the center, and fishing line to attach the letter.

I think these would be perfect behind your sweetheart table, on the entrance into your ceremony site, or as a dessert table backdrop.

Where would you use them at your wedding?

Bridal Bouquet Idea

I came across this gorgeous bouquet from a real wedding featured on 100 Layer Cake.

Bouquet via 100 Layer Cake

Isn't it gorgeous?! It's made up of pincushion protea, parrot tulips, coral charm peonies, dahlias, ranunculus, garden roses, craspedia, cosmos, scented geranium foliage and passionflower vine. They wrapped it with lace from her dress and included a pendant that was her Grandmother's.

What I REALLY loved however was the bride's idea for preserving her bouquet! She's not getting it preserved in the traditional sense, but she loved her bouquet so much that all she wants for their anniversary each year is for her groom to get it re-created!

Isn't that the best idea?! So romantic!! Even if your bride doesn't request it specifically - wouldn't that make THE most perfect surprise anniversary present from any hubby out there?!

Incidentally, all the flowers from this wedding were stunning - check out the full post here.

And stay tuned later for some other fun ideas from this wedding we thought were too amazing not to talk about as well!

Bird Seed Bags

How cute are these adorable Wedding Bird Seed Bags for tossing bird seed at your wedding?

Tossing bird seed, instead of the traditional rice, is so much healthier for the environment and wildlife - and when they come in bags like these, who can resist?

They're custom hand-stamped for your event and perfect for tossing over the Lovebirds! You can order your own from Mother and Daughter Creations and take all the work out of this great wedding tradition.

Aren't these fabulous?!

Ribbon Aisle Decor

Have you been stumped trying to find a simple way to spruce up your ceremony site without breaking the bank? Or maybe your location won't allow flowers or anything attached to the pews or chairs?

I came across this simple and beautiful aisle decor idea and thought it would be perfect for so many different brides out there!

They got yards of ribbon in their color palette and simply tied loose knots, letting the ribbon stream down the aisle. It would work on any type of seating too by simply tying it off in different places. It's easily removed with no damage - so your venue won't mind a bit!

It adds such a pretty pop of color and whimsy! What do you think?
