White wedding cake and a very pretty purple. Cake composed of five stacks of cylindrical cake and each layer was pursed cake decorations have different. At the most basic level, body cream cakes were white and given a little ornaments small dots, then there is a purple ribbon wrapped around the body of this most basic cake. The second level was decorated like an opened curtain and it was purple, very unique and beautiful with the addition of small flowers in purple, too. For the third level is decorated with white cream with a small flower shapes very much. The fourth was decorated in a way underlined in italics and given each elbow ornament balls and a small addition of two purple roses. The latter was also given a decorative vertical lines and given two roses, the same as the fourth level. On top of this purple cake filled with purple roses, really beautiful.

Gingerbread and Lavender

This is sort of a mini-inspiration board - it just worked better this way than with any of the other images I tried to fit into it. Sometimes less is more...

If you're a winter bride who loves lavender, how about a bouquet of dried lavender, wrapped in soft velvet ribbon? After the ceremony, treat your guests to dessert and champagne (I'm dead set on bringing this type of reception back, can you tell?). Gingerbread linzertorte is a perfectly appropriate, yet totally unexpected, winter wedding "cake." Each dessert certainly doesn't need to be color coordinated, but the table also doesn't have to look like a middle school bake sale. Arrange things thoughtfully, maybe with a small vase of flowers, and let this table of sweets be the focal point in the room. Unless you're lucky enough to hold your reception in a room with a working fireplace - that would be the perfect focal point for a winter wedding. You'll have one less thing to worry about if you skip the party favors, though you might make small glassine bags available for guests to take some chocolate truffles home with them.

So what do you think? Can you still get a sense of this wedding with only 6 images?

Mood: sweet and simple
Palette: gingerbread, faded lavender, rosé
