Hello lovelies! We’re so excited to be attending this year’s Cream Event in good old Austin, Texas. Today, we’ll be giving away a pair of tickets to one lucky reader. Per usual please leave a comment below, and we’ll pick a winner by Friday.
For more information about the event go to thecreamevent.com. And, if you’d like to purchase tickets you can go here. It’s only $45 bucks y’all and after viewing last years event, you don’t want to miss this it! Super excited to see some of you there.
Alrighty Cakelets! It’s time to close up until the new year. We’ll miss you all terribly, but to be totally honest, we need a break too!
It’s been an amazing year with you all, and if we could send each of you a personal holiday card in the REAL mail, we would… because you guys are definitely what makes 100 Layer Cake an inspiring, beautiful community. We’re looking forward to a week away from email and screens, (except our phones of course – must keep up with Instagram, after all), and the daily hustle in favor of some relaxed time with family and friends. We hope you all have a chance to enjoy the same.
We’ll be back in January with lots of beautiful weddings, and a really really rad sale in the Pop-Up Shop with Sarah Yates and Birds of a Feather Photography! Those of you getting engaged over Christmas (we know there will be a few of you!), might as well book a super awesome photographer first thing!
Merry Everything to all of you.
xoxo
Hey, 2012! You’re just around the corner and we can already tell you’re looking good. Just promise to be as full of sparkly pretty things as this shoot is, styled by Sarah Tucker Events. For any Cakelets taking the plunge and saying ‘I Do’ this New Year’s Eve/Day, we wish you the best! Everyone else, feast your eyes on this shoot, photographed by the dreamy Jessica Lorren Organic. Its southern mossy oaks served as the perfect backdrop for this New Years brunch inspired shoot and the sprinkles of gold shimmer have us wanting to bring out the sparklers!
The 1950s tea length dress with scalloped lace was picked out at Retro Rosies in Downtown Bradenton. It’s a cute vintage shop with an entire room of affordable vintage wedding gowns and accessories all under $100!
The New Year’s inspired mask the bride is wearing was painted with metallic gold spray paint and fitted with soft pink velvet ribbon, and the romantic calligraphy seating chart by Rachel Carl & Co has mixed metallics to note the table numbers. It was fastened to an oak tree trunk on top of vintage pink lace that was once a dress.
Cookies and milk, a pancake tower, donuts, cake pops, gold mylar balloons, lace, pretty paper, metallics, pom tassles – these are the makings of a brunch fit for a new year!
