Rustic Romance

Some things just go together like rama lama lama ke ding a de dinga a dong. Two of those things are the masterful photography of Max Wanger and the unique + rustic stylings of Bash, Please. Yet another collaboration (recently featured on Style Me Pretty) has me giddy with excitement.

This couple has mad style which is only accentuated by this creatively brilliant pairing.


Now... onto the details. Paige + Kelly of Bash, Please describe this couple as down to earth and organic people. The details of their wedding embody these sentiments brilliantly and are incorporated into every last element.




One of my favourite details is the venue's fireplace which was filled with candles in mason jars to up the romance ante.


apple pie pops might be one of the most brilliant things ever invented and the mini clip boards used to hold the menus are particularly sweet.


Evening ceremonies are so underrated. This one is absolutely stunning.

Bird Cake Inspiration

Although their guests are going to enjoy Pie for dessert, Ryan and Angela are going to have a mini cake for a traditional cake-cutting. The couple is lucky enough to have a close family friend who has offered to create a cake for them to do so. Below are a few examples of bird-inspired wedding cakes that would work as a one-tier mini cake.

I love the twigs used here as well as the tree stump base. It is also interesting to see a cake without a traditional 'cake topper.' I kind of like the effect of the mini birds placed sporadically around the cake; however, as a one tier it would be so cute with a pair of tiny birds amidst twigs on the top, don't you think?

Better yet, put your bird cake-toppers in a nest! How adorable is this cake? Although simple in design, I love the effect of the rustic nest against the perfectly-iced white cake. For added colour, you could add a couple of bold flowers or choose coloured birds for in the nest.

Also, remember the adorable cake topper we found on Etsy:

This would work beautifully on the simplest of cakes. {I also love that you can personalize the banner to read your date, your names, "just married," or any other special message: what a keepsake}.

Pie Love.

It seems as though our little 'Pie Bar' idea is growing in popularity as couples move away from the traditional wedding cake.

Here, Joanna Goddard discusses pie options and questions the apparent importance of feeding each other cake on the big day.

I personally love any alternative to a traditional Wedding Cake.
Dessert & pie bars, cupcakes, ice cream stations, candy bars, or any sweet finger foods become a memorable conversation piece and spare guests from watching the bride and groom smoosh cake in each other's faces.

apple [pie] of my eye

Well: I guess the fact that I have a sweet tooth is obvious by now. For this reason, I love Angie and Ryan's idea of a Pie Bar!

We talked food a lot today and came up with a few ideas for the candy and pie bars! I am so excited.

I LOVE this stamp.

Ryan, Angie, and I discussed using this stamp to label the different pies and include who made what pie for a personal touch. [I also think it would be cute to label recipe cards].

Any Thoughts?
