Picnic Styled Shoot Part One / North Carolina Wedding Planner

   I'm pleased to get to share every little bit of our Picnic Inspiration Shoot with y'all today. You might've seen it featured here. It was such a thrill and an honor to be featured on one of our favorite wedding blogs.
   This shoot was really inspired vintage hankies and tablecloths. Vintage linens are my jam. I love the bright colors and happy patterns that define them and combining that look with farmers market flowers, mismatched furniture, and quilts is the epitome of pretty in my book. Add a naked wedding cake adorned with fruit and well, I hope you love the results as much as we do.

We worked with some pretty fantastic vendors to make this loveliness happen.

Trend we love / Bicycles! / North Carolina Wedding Planner

   Being a fairly new bike owner, I have a growing love for bicycles. They're pretty, and useful, and just so adorable. If you're a bike enthusiast as well, why not incorporate them into your special day?

   Hop on your bike for a ride with your groom...and why not have all your guest join you?

   Hang signs and banners on them or fill their baskets to bursting with fresh flowers.

Wedding cakes / North Carolina Wedding Planner

   We met with our bride this evening to go over as much as possible including deciding on the whole style of the wedding. The meeting went wonderfully and the wedding's going to be absolutely lovely! There was a lot of discussion about the cake, making me really want to admire and share some fabulous wedding cakes with you all.

The simplicity of this one is fantastic. 

Who knew that an un-iced cake could be so impressive?

I adore the idea of having a wedding pie.

Multiple cakes is a lovely idea. 

This cake says "party!"

A cake so delightfully whimsical it just makes me smile.
