Real Wedding: Kristin & Mark

studiowednvl — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 16:01:42 +0000

Kristin & MarkFrom Kristin’s sparkly Kate Spade shoes to the bridal party’s individually personalized hangers, this Clarksville wedding is chock-full of lovely details! I adore her dress’s cutout-back and the couple’s precious save-the-date {with their four sweet puppies!}. And the “lovebird” theme carried throughout the entire day, from the birdseed favors to cute unity candle decor. Not to mention, the UT-themed Neyland Stadium groom’s cake pulls at my heartstrings – GO VOLS!

Inspiration: I Dream of Beachy

studiowednvl — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 21:29:11 +0000

I hinted at this in last week’s Manager Musings to our StudioWed vendors, but I have been seriously craving the beach. Between urges to move to the Emerald Coast, revisit last year’s spring break trip, see my relatives in Jacksonville, and plan my honeymoon… I’m practically foaming at the mouth. Give me sea breezes, white sand to do yoga on in the early mornings, lobster motifs, messages in bottles, and everything seafoam green/mint/teal/pale blue/ocean-hued. Heaaaaaaven.

From top left, clockwise: coral beach details, lobster place cards, starfish aisle markers, pretty pretty pretty beachy colored pencils, rustic basket-lanterns, wooden oar headboard, driftwood signage, seaglass escort cards, pretty natural & blue tablescape, driftwood centerpieces, pale blue beach wedding details, message in a bottle, rustic furniture on the beach, frothy mint tiered skirt, beach suite, oyster shell with pearls.

Gorgeous New ‘Maid Frocks from The Bride Room

My heart is palpitating at The Bride Room’s new Lela Rose bridesmaid dresses!

I would totally wear this to my own vow renewal. Stunning. {I. Love. Pink. Can you tell?!}

If I could do things over, I’d probably have my bridesmaids wear long dresses. They’re just so pretty!

See more on their blog!

Kelly Plans a Wedding: The Cake

studiowednvl — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 19:50:28 +0000

I probably couldn’t count the number of times I have heard other wedding-industry folks saying, “I am so over wedding cake.” And I can’t tell you how far from truth that statement is for me! To say I l-o-v-e wedding cake is an understatement. My obsession with wedding cake is ranked just SLIGHTLY below my obsession with wedding dresses, if that tells you anything. Every single occasion I get to try different bakeries, flavors, or even just varieties of plain classic white wedding cake, I seize. {To the chagrin of my efforts to lessen my sugar intake.}

Pictures from The Bake Shoppe:

I could look at beautiful towering tiers of cake, architectural creations, stunning details, and elaborate designs all day long… but what’s TRULY important to me is taste. My parents raised me to be a food {especially dessert} snob, and my standards are not low. I may try every slice of cake I can get my hands on, but that doesn’t mean I love them all without discernment.

Here are my standards:

1. Must taste incredible {FLAVOR!}.

2. Must be moist and fluffy, but not sticky or gooey.

3. Must look beautiful. Not necessarily anything elaborate or crazy, just beautiful.

4. Must have options of flavors. I like plain white wedding cake, but I like it with a twist.

5. PREMIUM. INGREDIENTS.

6. BUTTER. Not oil, not shortening. Not anything but BUTTER!!!!!

7. This goes with the previous statement, but must have an incredibly good buttercream. I do not do fondant. And even if it’s “good-tasting” fondant, I am a buttercream purist. Give me buttercream or give me death.

Fortunately, I was able to work with our budget and move a couple of numbers around to make it work to have my FIRST CHOICE BAKER…
