Lovely Tonight: A Very Sweet Arrival

November 29th, 2010 @ 6:30 pm by Mrs. Buttons

Before I went into hiding, an extremely important (and wonderful) delivery was made to the venue. The cake. Oh, the cake. Now, I realize that I am not the first bee to get insanely excited about her cake…cough cough…Mrs. Hamster…cough cough…but I seriously almost lost it when our cake baker arrived with my three tiers of gorgeousness…

I pretty much started cheering at the sight of it. I almost wanted to cry.

I completely dropped what I was doing and followed Nomeda, from Cakes by Nomeda, to the cake table. She placed my cake topper on as I stood in awe of her masterpiece.

Honestly, my expectations for the cake were not only met, they were exceeded exponentially. Nomeda had been excited about my lacework inspiration photos, but I had absolutely no idea that my cake would turn out this extraordinary. I almost didn’t want to cut into it later on in the evening! I mean…come on—just look at it!

Every single lace detail was piped by hand by Nomeda…I can’t imagine how long this took her—it is so perfect!

Of course, we can’t forget my cake topper from Vintage by Crystal, which I think matched the cake perfectly! The little vintage birds stole my heart from the moment I first saw them months ago…

I don’t know if a prettier cake will ever exist in this world. I do realize I am biased, though…

Previously…

The girls got ready, then the guys got ready.

I became a bride, but our first look wasn’t what I’d hoped.

We took some photos alone and then with our bridal party.

Everyone hopped on the trolley, and then we took a few family portraits.

That is a seriously gorgeous cake. And I think many a bride will be saving this post and running to their bakers to see if they can get it. I would like some cake, please and thank you!

Love that cake! When I walked into our reception (before our ceremony) and saw our cake… I almost cried. It was perfect. Exactly what I wanted and then, so much more.
