Come on now, we all know one of the best things about weddings is the CAKE. Chocolate cake, red velvet cake, yellow cake, white cake…doesn’t matter to me, I’ll take them all. I hover around the cake table and go back for seconds (hey, free cake, can you blame me?). If there’s one thing I [...]

The weather has been so gorgeous lately! I was walking outside the other night and squealed in glee when I saw them: daffodils smiling in the evening light. One of my favorite things about spring is the daffodils – and mostly because I love yellow! If you are planning a springtime wedding, consider choosing a [...]
