Get me to the church on time Barney!


Neigh bother!!! lol!
Many thanks to Lynn for sending me this today!! Lynn has had her wedding day featured in No.1 Magazine, and doesn't she and her Groom David look dashing in thier wedding day finery? Not to mention Barney, Lynn's horse who made sure she got to the church on time -what an entrance!
I made a caketop for the happy couple, complete with saddle as a wee nod to Barney!!
The photographer for the day was Linda Sneddon who seems to have captured some great shots of the day.
Congratulations to Lynn and David, as well as Barney- as Lynn says; the other man in her life!!

a little bit retro

Well after a snowfall this week we can be sure its most certainly still winter... However spring daffodils are peeping thro the snow in caketopland , so i am sure there is some sun just around the corner!

I have been catching up on emails today and after following some lovely links to beautiful dresses, i am feeling very summery indeed!! I do enjoy looking at your links, which describe for me kilts and suits, bouquets and colours, dresses and hairdos! A customer today sent me a link to a website where the company make some amazing veils and hairpieces. Their website has some super photos which had me clicking away to see more!! It has a retro feel which appeals to me and made me think of tea and cake and summery picnic days in the garden......I thought i'd share a couple of my favourite vintage inspired websites with you....

Sara Gabriel, based in Denver Colorado, with no UK outlets as far as i can tell, but still if you are keen you can buy from a US store which they list on the website, or maybe just enjoy their photos and be inspired by their beads, tulle and feathers! Etsy is also a great source of wedding ideas and many UK makers put thier wares on there too.



Closer to home, why not dish up your sandwiches and slices of yummy wedding cake on pretty vintage china? There are alot of china hire companies out there now, covering the whole of the UK, just ask google. Here's one i found in Bonnie Scotland! Tatty Mac!

And don't forget, the most essential and unique addition to your wedding day is of course a cake top!! A handmade caketop is personalised just for you and reflects your style, whatever that may be!! And i do enjoy looking at all those lovely dresses, so weblinks always welcome!
