{Wedding Trends} : Cake Pops

Desserts have always been an important element at weddings. However, in recent years the traditional wedding cake has been replaced with smaller, mini desserts - and the cupcake has certainly found itself at a number of nuptials. But a new trend is emerging in the wedding world, the adorable cake pop. As their cousins the cupcakes, cake-pops will provide a sweet treat for your guest while adding dimension and color to your wedding decor. The best thing about these little sweet confections is that they leave so much room for creativity. Right now, I’m digging these super-unique cake pop ideas. Are cake-pops taking the place of cupcakes? What do you think? (image source)

Elie Saab Spring 2012 Couture Collection

Before you start scrolling down this page, I highly recommend you to sit down because this glamtastic treat will make you swoon in no time. Regardless of the fact that not every number on Elie Saab Spring 2012 Couture Collection is intended to be bridal gowns, I think all of them will make fabulous wedding dresses. 
With it's beading and 3-D blossom fabrics, this whole collection is the epitome of princess with a modern flare. It would make a great choice for those fashion forward bides who are looking for something unexpected, yet elegant...They can wear one of this gorgeous white pieces without feeling too classic, or add a subtle POP to their wedding attire with Saab's array of sorbet hues. On the other hand, every dress looks so unreal and fairy-like that a more traditional bride can easily rock any of this monochromatic beauties as a second/reception wedding dress. Saab's macaron box of a collection has something that would match almost any color palette from pale blue, pink, yellow and mint to crisp whites, corals and cappuccino foams.... I'M IN LOVE!

{Wedding Trends} : Mercury Glass

Mercury glass has become a favorite accent of mine. It may be the inter-romantic in me, but there is something about the soft glow and the vintage looks that sends my heart a flutter. What I love most about this baby is that once it meets candlelight, it instantly takes a surreal and whimsical glow bringing sparkle and glamour to any room. Another beauty of mercury glass is that it can be dressed down or dressed up to meet any wedding theme and looks equally fabulous.
