Ribbons of Pulled Sugar
these ribbons are made of pulled sugar . . .
i die.
(wait i just realized you might not get that reference.
do you know who Rachel Zoe is?
she's a hollywood fashion stylist with a show on Bravo
whenever she thinks something is
amazing/stunning/perfect
she says "I Die!")
Cake
So here's what I came up with
from the description that you gave me
(pretend the ribbon is red on the bottom 2)
what do you think?
Embellishments
you mentioned you were considering
"some light blue embellisments"
for the cake
you'll have to define embellishment for me
but here's what i've found so far . . .
More Extreme Embellishments
i LOVE monograms
and
JAL makes a really good one
usually i think piping looks kinda "flouncy"
and sometimes it just looks plain cheap and messy
but these two are perfect
sorry i couldn't help myself
this cake is amazing
Random Cake Topper Ideas
Random Cuteness
so i typed "cake topper" into etsy's search and came up with
most of what i posted in the posts further down.
this fork topper came up, too
(the starfish is not part of it)
i think it's kind of appropriate for the 2 of you
instead of having a cake topper
let the top tier
(the one you'll save & eat on your 1st anniversary)
be your cake topper
have bright red marzipan cherries
made into a cake topper
Wine Cork Keychains
So this is the basic wine cork key chain design.
Just an Eye Screw screwed into one end of the cork.
You don't drill first, you just thread it in as you would a wine bottle opener.
Then attach a key ring to the eye.
This shows how you could thread a 2nd eye screw on the other end
to attach another decorative element
this LINK talks about how you can add epoxy
once you've threaded in the eye screw
to make sure it's secure in there
But this is the addition I like the best,
adding washers and a screw to give the whole thing a more finished look:
if you go HERE you'll find a good description of how to do this
and what size washers you'll need
this shows how it looks using colored, non-cork corks
it also show how you can add beads/charms at the the end
but i think this starts to make it look a little too "crafty"
although i do kinda like the look of adding a tassel like the corks below
the next few are all from the Etsy shop Uncorked:
i love the way they look but i don't know how she does the printing on them
I like the 2nd cork with the printing
could be an interesting way to add
Eat Drink & Be Married
LOBSTERS!
Here's another way I saw it done so that it is labeled for the wedding
but can be removed later for everyday use:
Lastly, I think you could also make it more professional looking
by adding a slightly better keychain attachment
I put red dots next to the ones i think would work nicely:
