Although I make jewelry myself, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with lusting over a gorgeous piece made by someone else.

Heirloom Cake Topper

 

Whipped up by the crafty ladies of Posh Paperie, this DIY cake topper is something I’d love to do for my wedding (are you bored of the word “wedding” already? Hehe) but can be easily modified for a different occasion or theme. Not only is there a handy tutorial for the cake topper but there’s a tutorial of how to make the ruffle cake thanks to Melody of My Sweet & Saucy (yay!).

Cake Topper

I just love this cake topper I spotted while blog shopping. The quote is French, by philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau which reads, “Aimer et être aimé sera la grande affaire de toute notre vie” & translates “To love and be loved will be the greatest event in our lives.” I’d love to have something similar at my wedding coming soon (so soon in fact, I’m on constant panic mode now). Here’s the tutorial & free download.

surprise wedding

i just read this post about how a couple decided to surprise their engagement party guests & have their wedding instead! it took them a mere 7 days to plan the whole thing. it’s a really touching story & reminded me to not stress over the details because at the end of the day, all i want is to be married to the love of my life. read the story here & be prepared to get teary-eyed.
