A Pinterest Monday Medley

I've become rather obsessed with Pinterest of late. It's just perfect for compiling mood boards which is a large (and fun) part of my job.

And so this week's Monday Medley includes mainly images I discovered through the joys of my Pinterest wanderings.

the bouquet

I don't really have words for this bouquet. Just so soft and pretty.

the cake

This mushroom cake is pretty and simple and unique.

the boutonniere

A sweet way to have those who can't be with you on your big day close to your heart...

I'm always one for cheap but effective wedding decoration ideas hence the reason these wine bottle centrepieces caught my eye. These would be perfect in a a big open space like a warehouse or similar.

You bring peace to my heart...

Not everybody's cup of tea but certainly a day for some gratuitous heart action. Whatever you get up to this evening, have a good one.

Innovative cake decoration

White cake, contrasting yumminess of berries displayed on a wooden chopping board. Now why didn't I think of that?

I'm so over bunting unless it's on a cake now.

Pop cakes

Little chocolate cakes on sticks? Genius. A cool variation on the cupcake.







Think these Russian doll cakes are my favourite...



Love this idea because they're cute and original and that is pretty damn hard to find!

Too good to eat?

Now I don't know about you but I like wedding cakes that look delicious. Too often they look fancy but inedible - like a film prop rather than something you can't wait to tuck into.

Not these. These have me salivating.










What cake did you have? Did you do the cupcake thing..chocolate... cheese? Mmmn think I'm hungry.

Creative cake

I love butterflies but more often than not when used as a wedding 'theme' they can stray into that territory every bride wants to avoid - tackiness. This cake is beyond gorgeous and shows you how it can be done right! Check out more pretty and yummy treats at Delicious Desserts.

Cakes By Robin

Now at Savoir we like to find ideas for the alternative bride. And these might not be particularly 'alternative' cakes but they're so elegant I had to feature them and I want to eat them right off the page.



They almost don't look real they're so perfect



I'm quite a pink fan and this picture makes me happy and hungry!





Cakes By Robin was established by Robin (unsurprisingly there) and is based in London. I love how simple and effective her designs are.




Robin is totally flexible and will create a cake from scratch for you, work with a design you have, whatever you want really. For more details have a look at www.cakesbyrobin.co.uk. Yum.
