Mrs. Brooch, Arlington, VA Age and Occupation: 25, Writer/Editor Fiance's Age and Occupation: 29, Front Desk Manager Engagement Date: October 3, 2009 Wedding Date: April 2011 Venue: Oxon Hill Manor About Me: I’m an indecisive girlie-girl with a motor mouth, can-do attitude, and knack for making others laugh. I dream of becoming a best selling novelist like Elizabeth Gilbert or Julie Powell (a girl can dream, right?), and love long road trips, a beautiful countryside, music, blogs, books, and all things vintage/thrift/antique/or homemade. I’m a Virgo, i.e. overly sensitive, emotional, and critical, and there’s no such thing as short and sweet in my world. I want to say and do it all. Mr. Brooch grounds me. I point where to go and he figures out the way. He’s a pragmatic fancy-pants who enjoys video games and movies. We both adore our mutt, Rocky, and spending time with our amazingly supportive family and friends. We’re planning a garden wedding with a formal reception with lots of whimsy and unique, Southern-inspired details.

I’ve been really focused on my diet lately, but the other day I had a nagging sweet tooth. What started out as one piece of chocolate turned into three! So in honor of sweets, I thought I’d throw together a quick post of wedding cakes—garden inspired, of course!

Favorite. Cake. Ever.

Traditional cakes with flowers on top make me happy, too:

We can’t forget about my butterfly obsession, either:

Simple, small cakes can be gorgeous, too:

And, of course, more butterflies:

And another one with a design painted on it. I love this style and sure hope Mr. B does too. I’ll probably be carrying pictures of this one and the first one to our baker with hopes of getting a similiar design.

We haven’t started shopping for a cake yet, but believe me, I’m anxious to begin. I think we have plenty of time to pick something. Hopefully, I can keep my diet in check until then so that I can enjoy the tastings guilt free!

When did you start cake shopping? Did or will your cake have a theme?

Wow that painted cake is fantastic, it’d be a shame to stick a knife in it though!
