Weddings In Arkansas

Aaron proposed to Rosemary on February 23, 2013, the day after her birthday. He woke her up by bringing her breakfast in bed, including pancakes made from scratch, and asked her to be his wife….
The new issue is online and we are so proud of this 10th anniversary issue! Earthy details like cotton and coffee beans gave this particular color palette the texture and warmth we were wanting. We had so much fun working with these talented Arkansas wedding vendors on the flowers, invitations, sweets, wedding cakes and more. Oh, we just love the way it all turned out! Enjoy!

We were in for a big treat when these fabulous cakes started showing up at our studio the day of our spring/summer issue photo shoot. After lots of calls and meetings with these talented bakery owners discussing trends and ideas, we were thrilled with the inspiring wedding cakes we got to include in this issue. Grab a piece of cake, pull up a chair and enjoy! {photography by Nancy Nolan}
All lined up and ready for their photo shoot. Our streamers had an encore moment and came back after starring in our fashion spread seen here. All the colors used on the cakes coordinated with the pink, orange, mint, blue and yellow streamers. Aren’t they so pretty?!
Here are some close-ups for you…
{Sweet Love, Little Rock, (501) 613-7780, sweetlovebakes.com} Owner Kelli Marks made this chevron cake with silver modern monogram. Chevron has been such a hot trend and we LOVE it!

{Mickey’s Special Affairs, Little Rock, (501) 221-1989, mickeysevents.com} Mrs. Coleman is the sweetest and we loved the peach, pink and white striped cake she made for us. Those colors are just delicious.
A big thanks to everyone again! Give these pros a call to see what they can whip up for your wedding or special event.
We included a couple of these chevron items in our new spring/summer issue that’s now online. On page 22, you’ll see the tote bag from Something Blue and the wedding invitation from By Invitation Only. You can find that fabulous chevron cake by Sweet Love on page 63. These graphic items inspired our chevron round-up for today. Are you including chevron in your wedding planning? Or another fun graphic pattern? Let us know!
Hope you all have a great week!
