{Utterly Engaged} Issue No.10 – Cake Walk

with 2 comments

The thought of having a runway couture fashion inspired wedding couldn’t excite me more. I jumped in to work with Erica of Erica O’Brien Cake Designs and Megan of Honey and Poppies who shared this fantastic concept wedding with me. The concept began with being inspired by Oscar de la Renta’s Spring 2010 Collection and it was by far the perfect start. Florals and ruffles shined and were translated in the stationery, cake and of course the flowers.

The whole shoot couldn’t have been more beautiful. The colors were all pulled from the Spring 2010 collection. Vibrant oranges, deep black, luscious purples and greens. This theme is all about the details.

Look at the ruffles on the cake! I loved that. The stands were also made by florals so the cake looked completely surrounded by flowers and texture.

The kicker behind the whole project was that we were the models! Yup. Erica, Megan and I hit hair and make-up and showed face as the models on the shoot. It was fantastic!
