But, first we started with these….”ginger”breadmen bride and groom we made for the two red heads to go into the out-of-towners gift bags.

We were asked to do a cake with a contemporary Royal wedding feel for a photo shoot which gave us our idea after months of scratching our heads!  We used that cake as the “topper” for a Royal sized cake, adding flowers.  Tulips are the epitome of April, which is when THE wedding is taking place, so we felt they needed to be included in the design and the roses represent the traditional.

Laurie of Event Rentals Unlimited provided our table!

Walt Nemeth, The Georgian Terrace, President of NACE Atlanta, Sharon Sweet Sensations, Tamara I Do Linens who made the gorgeous linen and the trophy!

The Atlanta wedding industry is fantastic and we think we work with the best of the best at Studio Wed.  We love our collaborations…the end result to any event just amazes me!!

The members of these teams were Lemiga Events, The Savage Garden, Floral Couture, I Do Linens, Papered Wonders, Event Rentals Unlimited and Event Drapery.  We think every one “brought it”!!

Thank you to Alecia Lauren and Shari Zellers for the fab photos!!

Camden’s mom sent us photos to share with you.  Isn’t he just adorable!!!  Loving the face plant into the cake!

Way to go, Camden!!  That’s the Sweet Sensations attitude!

The fabulous gown designer, Lazaro, created a gown (along with other great designers) just for Bridals by Lori’s 30th Anniversary/Say Yes to the Dress premier party. After receiving the sketch and some photos, we got to work on the “gown”…..we were asked at the party how many hours it took, more than I thought, it was almost 60 hours. All hands were on deck for this project!!

Check the video of the party set up by Blue Orchid Productions.


Ana working her magic, with Anna assisting.  Didn’t get a photo of the rest of us helping…

Our biggest concern was to be sure Bridals by Lori and Lazaro were happy with the finished product.  They were ecstatic!!!  Phew!!

The fabulously talented designer, Lazaro, with his gorgeous gown and our mini-me!

The party was a celebration of Bridals by Lori 30th Anniversary!!!  The “garter” next to the cake had a “30″ on it and the cupcakes, too!
