The Cake

Yesterday I shared the DIY invitations my friend, Jannah, designed for her sister-in-law. Today I'm sharing the cake. It will absolutely blow your mind. The sweet couple's (Amanda and Raul) friend made it as a gift to them. The bride's mother had the spectacular cake stand created. The detail is incredible and it completely embodies the feel of the day. The very top cake with the lovebirds is the couple's anniversary cake they will celebrate with a year from now. Hands down, my favorite part is the gorgeous, large purple flowers. I even managed to sneak in a picture of the bride and groom.

Congratulations Amanda and Raul! And Happy planning to all the brides-to-be!

Amazing DIY Invitations

My sweet friend Jannah is incredibly talented. She is a writer by trade, but has an awesome natural talent for graphic design. Her sister-in-law's wedding was this weekend and I want to start sharing a little bit over he next week or so. She created and designed the following invitations. Ah-mazing! She researched and labored over the perfect paper to use. She made sure the bride-to-be loved every detail and was completely happy with the final product. I'm a proud friend and really think she should go into business!

I hope these inspire you to do your own little DIY project.


Happy Planning!
