Grooms Cakes
Ok. First of all, who doesn't like cake? (The frosting is my favorite.)... Let alone, cakes that are so personal and artistic that you don't even want to cut yourself a slice and ruin the masterpiece. Here are some delicious delicacies for your groom...
Ceremony Petals
Want petals, but bored of their typical 'format'? Here are just a few of creative ways to put those petals to the test...
Venue of Rustic Elegance: B.R. Cohn Winery
I worked there for a year and a half and can say that the grounds of B.R. Cohn Winery are of true rustic elegance. It features 140 year old French Picholine olive trees, 8 acres of olive trees, cabernet sauvignon & zinfandel estate vineyards, a gorgeous garden, and noble oak trees for a breathtaking ceremony site.

Activities for Kids
For those couples who are brave enough to invite youngsters to their wedding, there are ways to help yourselves out (and the kiddies, too, especially!) Try putting together a goodie box full of fun activities and things to play with (that doesn't involve a whoopie cushion).

Provide a Paper Table Cover on top
Make sure the table is low to go the ground (approx. 1 foot), with pillows for seats. (You try eating and coloring in an adult chair when you're 3 feet tall.)

Now It's my Turn...
Okay,so I've found my latest obsession. I've been guilty of staying in pajamas untilthere's no point in the evening to just change out of them, simply, becauseI've browsed bridal blogs for hours into the night. No, I definitely don'tregret it because I've found some amazing blogs full of inspiration and lots ofideas!
For howmany 1000s of bridal and creative blogs there are, I've narrowed my favoritesdown to 25 blogs. Enjoy!
Thanksfor Inspiring me to start my own everyone!
