Engaging Desserts

Found this great site through my best friend, Tasha, who is taking cake decorating as a hobby. Her teacher, Heidi has a great site and the cutest cake. It is a cake designed to look like an engagement ring box with a diamond engagement ring. The entire cake is edible. Yummy!!

Silk or real wedding flowers? 

If you have allergies, silk or a combination of both, is a good option. If your bridesmaids have allergies, silk flowers are the way to go. And if you find a great vendor, just take a picture of the bouquet you want and he/she will make it choice perfect.
