Wedding Blog

I am a very visual person and it’s helpful for me to see images to guide me in creative decisions. But sometimes an image is just what you’re looking for! When I first started planning, my best friend/bridesmaid insisted I get a notebook (she called it a “look book”) for me to save ideas/images etc. So as I was looking through a wedding magazine, I came across the JC Penney Wedding Registry ad (I’m sure you’ve all seen it). Well, in the fall, it featured Leann Rimes. Then I looked closer and saw her cake and immediately tore it out.

Here it is:

I was sold — down to every last detail. The marzipan pears, the brown vines, the purple and white flowers — all perfect with our color scheme. So I brought this photo to our baker and said “make me this!” She said she could but she didn’t make marzipan. “If you can send me the pears we’ll be all set.” I consulted google to find a company based in the UK called Marzipan World. The website is a little clunky, but the product is amazing! I ordered a sample (9 pears) to see what they looked like and tasted like (as my fiance LOVES marzipan). Well….he couldn’t even wait to try one before I took a picture.

Here they are:

They have marzipan fruit, veggies, acorns, chestnuts…even sea urchins! Here are some more examples of their fantastic offerings.

Strawberries:

Seashells: (made me think of Miss Corn’s Rhode Island wedding)
