This week I'm sharing a few special moments from our wedding - particularly special as I'm showcasing the wonderful talents of some pretty fantastic people.
First up is our wedding cake made by my mum. It's difficult to find the words. It really was a breathtaking work of beauty and a true reflection of all the time, energy and love she threw into the mixing bowl. Mum 'got' the look of the wedding from the off and came up with this wonderfully elegant design which included intricate, decoupage-like flowers on the top and bottom tiers, art deco-style trim and, of course, a little sparkle. Oh, and those flowers on the top - they're not real flowers. They're hand-crafted sugar icing roses. So, to our super-talented mum we say thank you from the bottom of our full hearts.
I love that she snook our sparkly initials into the design...
Mum's intricate handiwork...
Cutting the cake. It felt like a crime!
People were wow-ed that these beautiful roses were handmade
And here she is, my mum.

What a beautiful post for mum - I'm sure she will love it. How true is the end quote . . . . take heed pretty lady x
