i troll martha stewart so you don’t have to: weddings

a co-worker of mine is planning a wedding so we do a lot of wedding surfing around here (don’t tell my boss)

• gallery of cakes
• faux rose petals
• wedding countdown gifts
• charm cake for bridal shower
• fortune bouquet
• tossing hearts (environmentally responsible!)
• frozen vodka
• rosemary sea salt favor
  
• midnight snack for bride and groom
• Turkish shoe signing tradition
• happy alternatives for the toss

Martha by Mail sells glass topped favor containers which are watchmaker’s containers – here a few places where you can find them cheaper:

lee valley

(thanks to the long lost thread at the message boards of get crafty for the heads up on that one)

american science and surplus

Tops Malibu sells pretty sets of sparklers in long thin containers – this is an easy diy.

I dig the stuff Plum Party has for the bridal shower and the good fortune party, don’t forget the diamond rings

I have to put my favorite cake here as well, this is a poor picture, the actual cake is huge and vibrant, the place that makes it sprinkles edible iridescent glitter all over it

alice in wonderland cake

and one day I shall make these: sugar bubbles!

there are a few extra instructions in the third question of this chat transcript
