Hillary - Cake and Flowers

There were two wedding vendors who I knew I just had to have the moment I got engaged for my Florist and cake Decorator. But first, let me preface this by saying that I come by my love of weddings honestly. My dad is a wedding photographer, my mom and aunt are florists, and my grandmother has been decorating wedding cakes for nearly 40 years! So like I said I knew from the moment we got engaged that my mom and grandmother would be heavily involved in the flowers and cake portion of my wedding.



My cake is going to be very similar to this cake. I was able to find broaches after Christmas and with access to wholesale cake ribbon, it is going to cost us next to nothing to make! We will have a variation of this cake with 5 layers. The flavors we choose are sour cream almond, chocolate, and strawberry and a buttercream icing.

My choice for flowers has been a difficult one to make. Growing up the child of a florist, I love every kind of flower imaginable, so narrowing down choices was a difficult one.



I definitely want florals that create an essence of romanticism and warmth, all while keeping with our “Southern Weddings” inspired wedding.

There are going to be flower everywhere you turn at our wedding, as well as some insane other décor items that I choose not to disclose! My mom and I have worked very hard on designing this wedding to be a true essence of James and I. I can’t wait for the next 33 days to pass so that we can see it all executed!
