A Special Wedding and the Cake

In June Caz and I drove to San Francisco for his daughters wedding. I had the honor of making her cake and we also did the food for the wedding. When Constance first told me about the flowers she was using, I was a little skeptical. After all, I'd never seen or even heard of succulents being used at a wedding. So I set out to do a bit of research on the subject and was wowed beyond belief. Not only were they used, but the mixture of delicate succulent plants and white was absolutely elegant. This is the beautiful bride with her cake.


Here's a close up of the cake. The El's on top were playful and fun and turned out just perfect for them. She loves elephants : ).


This is just one example of how many different ideas are out there that you might not think would work for a wedding. Here are some other succulent ideas...

The tables were beautiful, dressed with baskets of succulents. Here are other ideas...



And other cakes...

So you see, wedding flowers don't have to be traditional. Only limited by your own imagination! Think outside of the box for a beautiful and unique wedding. Constance did and it was amazing!
