Korri — Wed, 16 May 2012 13:02:14 +0000

Springy, bold and colorful this Mad Hatter stunner is the perfect marriage of classic meets modern. I love when couples choose larger than life cake toppers to grace their cakes- they quickly become the focal point and add a special surprise and delight moment for your guests.

Signed, sealed, delivered- this cake has my heart.

Real Wedding Spotlight: Kris & Jeff

Korri — Fri, 11 May 2012 13:49:49 +0000

This dynamic duo met while working at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, but when it came time to tie the knot Kris and Jeff packed their bags for a different kind of safari – a Disney’s Vero Beach safari, that is. The couple chose to infuse Vero’s coastline feel into every aspect of their wedding and paid especial attention to detail. From the darling cupcake display to the flip flop shoe check, this event was a coastline lover’s paradise.

As an artist, Linda knew exactly what she wanted her wedding cake to look like. After doing work with white writing on white paper for her own career, she insisted trying it on her cake. The result was a gorgeous four tier white wedding cake filled with words that each meant something special to the couple.

Peace, Love and Frosting!

All Hands On Deck: Bride’s Room

Korri — Tue, 08 May 2012 13:02:29 +0000

It’s not hard to imagine how stressful the last few hours before your wedding can be- but having your mom, sister or closest friends there can make it so much easier (and more fun!). So enjoy your time getting ready with the most important women in your life- swap stories, laughs and a beauty tip or two. If you live in the present, I guarantee it will help calm any pre-wedding nerves and leave you with memories you’ll cherish forever.

And let’s not forget to mention that moments shared in the bride’s room can make for some of the best photos…

Achieving Bridal Glow-ification

Korri — Mon, 07 May 2012 15:16:30 +0000

Every bride wants to look and feel her best when it comes time to say “I do”- and almost every girl wants to achieve a sun-kissed, fresh from the beach glow. I’m all about a good tutorial (and learning a new makeup trick or two), so today Guerlain U.S. National Makeup Artist Marcus Monson is going to show us how to perfect glow-ification using the new Terracotta makeup collection Sun in the City.

Be sure to stop by the France Pavilion at Epcot for more beauty tips and tricks!

Be sun kissed,

May the Fourth Be With You

With two Star Wars crazed boys at home, I simply had to partake in this unofficial holiday! Plus, I love any excuse I get to share Philip & Christy’s wedding photos…

May the fourth be with you, Jewels!

Six Wedding “Rules” You Can Break

Korri — Thu, 03 May 2012 13:32:47 +0000

Rules are made to be broken, right? Certain wedding traditions can be adapted, so today I’m sharing six “rules” that can be broken on your big day- it is your day after all!

As tradition would have it, the bride’s parents were responsible for footing the entire wedding bill- but it is becoming more and more common for members of both families to help pay for the big day.
The norm used to be that couples registered for nothing but housewares on their gift registry. Though many still ask for toasters and blenders, others are hopping on the honeymoon registry train and having friends and family gift money for their honeymoon. In fact, we offer a honeymoon registry of our own!
Long white gowns will always be a wedding icon, but that doesn’t mean you have to have one. Shorter gowns are seeing a growth in popularity and will definitely catch the attention of your guests.
Rehearsal dinners have always been a fun way to bring everyone together before the wedding, but if it’s not in your budget don’t worry. Rehearsal dinners are by no means essential to your big day.
Many feel it is bad luck for a groom to see his bride before the ceremony, but disregarding a little superstition might actually be rewarding. Sharing that special moment with each other in private, instead of in front of all your guests, can be extremely special and make for very touching photos.

Happy planning!
