Bake it Pretty

I recently discovered Bake it Pretty.com and instantly fell in love, they have so many adorable things for cupcakes, candies, and chocolates. It's really hard not to fall in love, especially for this sweet tooth!
Some of their products would make an adorable addition to a wedding shower, reception, or any party really! Here are some of my favorites...

Deer cupcake toppers, goodness these are cute! Just imagine an arrangement of cupcakes at your reception with these little fellows hanging out on top. I think it would look great with a whole herd, one deer per cupcake. Or make it equally lovely by mixing it up with some trees and flowers to make a nice little forest of your dessert table. 


I have a thing for mushrooms, so I find these little guys quite irresistible!

They also have a darling assortment of boxes and packaging, all of which would make great gift boxes for the bridal party, or favor boxes.

 These strawberry baskets are so cute and their uses endless, I thought they would be great filled with flowers for a center piece, or lined with fabric and filled with fruit or some snack for the guests to munch on, all sorts of things!

And now for my absolute favorite discovery at Bake it Pretty, candy buttons! First things first, full instructions for making them are on the Bake it Pretty blog, find them here!  

They would be great favors, although they are almost too cute to eat! I also think it would be super cute if you used them to decorate a plain white cake. It would be very simple as many bakeries allow you to order a plain white cake, then just use royal icing to "glue" on your buttons. And since the buttons are a do-it-yourself project you can custom make the colors to match your wedding exactly. I really want to try this out, and will certainly share it with you when I do! 
Enjoy!

One Thousand Paper Cranes

Once Wed featured a real-life wedding in California where the bride and groom assembled 1,000 paper cranes to decorate their ceremony and reception cite. 



The best part about this wedding is that it was put together with a $3,000 budget. You will love all the beautiful details of their ceremony and reception, read about it in two posts at Once Wed, here and here
