She got them cakes!

This post is titled in honor of a dear friend, Sarah Phinney. Hey girl! We would blast the song Cakes in the newsroom at Ball State, and the line is from the song.


We all love food. And, I love food even more when it has lots and lots of sugar in it! Here you go, sweet tooth :] 


I usually don't share my ideas for my own wedding, but I am making an exception for this post. Here are some pictures that I am using for inspiration for my big day!


I found these on random websites. If you would like to know where I found a picture, let me know!














Don't you just love this idea- a dessert table!

DRESSES DRESSES DRESSES!

Hello, family! I know it has been a few weeks since I have posted anything new. Those who are in college understand why I have been too busy. 


Here are some fun dress ideas- everything from the MOB to the flower girl.


Hold on tight...this is about to be a post FULL of lots of pictures and lots of content! Enjoy!


First, some delicious pictures of dresses worn by celebs on the red carpet. Do you think a bride could pull off one of these on her big day? I like the last one for a reception dress. Maybe I am just biased because I LOVE Rachel McAdams. Thanks to @OneWed for these amazing finds! To see who makes the gowns, go here!

Anyway, check out these rainbow-colored dresses. What do you guys think? It's a cool way to make each bridesmaid look different. Props to @grnweddingshoes !

And now for some MOB (Mother of Bride) or MOG (Mother of Groom) dresses. Nordstom has some great ones that don't look like the stereotypical "Mother" dresses. Here are a few that caught my eye!

DIY OVERLOAD!

Some fabulous ways to make your wedding more DIY! Check out these awesome finds:


1. Handmade wedding favors. My man and I still aren't sure what we are going to give out as wedding favors, but it has to be something that is relatively inexpensive. Being on a budget, I think a DIY wedding favor is just the ticket. Here is a cute idea from @ruffledblog - bath salts! Here are a few pictures and the list of what you will need. Visit the website for instructions!




What about this- handmade groomsmen gifts! Another place where, if you need to watch the budget, this is a great place where you can get creative. Found this idea thanks to @Emmalinebride. For more information and these ideas, and to see other great ideas, go here.



Now for some fun pictures from an actual wedding- This bride used her love of DIY to create her perfect wedding. Found the pictures thanks to Style Me Pretty - there are more pictures if you click the link!





ATTENTION - NAUTICAL WEDDING!!!!! For those of you who know me, you know that I am all about anything and everything nautical. It was only natural of me to get super excited when I saw that @oh_lovely_day tweeted about a "Pretty Preppy DIY" wedding. You know I am about to show you a bunch of pictures. Go here for many more! LOVE IT!
