Thanks to the fab Elaine over at Sweet Cheeks we have more photos! I love this cake! Words of love written in Italian for the romance and the bride’s heritage, deep indigo hydrangea blooms dotting the tiers… I love this groom’s cake too!

And of course, holiday season party planning is a’rollin’. The latest centerpiece combo- red roses grown right across the way in Baja, Cali, in a … Read more
