Timeless

Marit was a bride that knew what she wanted coming in to the tasting.  She brought me a picture of a cake with multiple tiers, a clean, dot design, and oodles of fresh roses separating the layers.  This classic and dramatic look suited her reception at the Saint Paul Hotel perfectly.

When Nick and I arrived with the cake, the room was shimmering with champagne linens, crystals, and the bustling activity of catering staff.  We assembled the tiers on site, and placed 5 dozen of the largest and most fragrant roses I have ever encountered.  I would like a pillowcase filled with the petals to sleep on every night!

These amazing images were brilliantly shot by Gina Kieffer of A Truth Be Shown Photography.  You know that butterflies in your stomach sensation you get when falling in love?  I got that feeling when I saw these photos for the first time.  It's no wonder Gina has received numerous awards and accolades for her work.

Marit was also adamant about having eat tier a different flavor.  From the top down:  Carrot cake with cream cheese filling, red velvet cake with cream cheese filling, white cake with vanilla pastry cream and fresh strawberries, and chocolate cake with layers of ganache and chocolate buttercream.

It never gets old seeing a lovely couple enjoy such special moments.  This timeless wedding will look as lush and lavish 50 years from now as it does today.  Congratulations Marit and James!

Thanks again to Gina and A Truth Be Shown Photography for these priceless photos!

xoxo,
Rachel

Breathtaking cake and gorgeous photos of a beautiful (and no doubt expensive) wedding. Love how the cake table cover emulates the bottom of the bride's dress! You do fabulous work, Rachel.
