We attended a wedding on Lido Beach last night. The ceremony took place at sunset. The timing couldn’t have been better for a summer wedding in Florida. The cool sea breeze and the fading sun made me almost forget it was June.
The crafty couple had lots of great ideas that should be shared. First off, I loved their cake. It was pretty and whimsical with a tad of the mad à la Alice in Wonderland. The groom wired the tree cake-topper himself. He entwined crystals and beads into the branches.
Nature was a theme. Dragonflies complemented the bouquets of Calla lilies, and the bridesmaids dressed in green. But the more specific theme was birds. The bridesmaids each wore a necklace with a tiny bird beaded into it, and the guests received birdseed doves as favors.
But this had to be my favorite touch…
…a birdcage for the gift envelopes!
