This awe-inspiring wedding cake is like nothing we have ever seen before! Hidden underneath an abundance of billowing winter wonderland blooms is a divine tiered cake from Le43 Catering.

Floral Fest…

We’ve seen flower walls as photo booth backdrops, but a flower wall backdrop for the actual ceremony? That is next level extravagance and WE LOVE IT! This gorgeous floral ceremony was complete with an antique chandelier and a candlelit aisle for the ultimate over the top look.

Cake In Cubes…

When we think about cake, our first thought definitely wasn’t geometric perfection until we saw Ann & Em’s Cakes. These delicate cubes are each filled with mousse with flavours ranging from strawberry and caramel to green tea matcha and mango. The cubes are the perfect serving size which is ideal when catering for any number of guests. These art deco cakes are almost too beautiful to eat but somehow, we think we’d manage!

Heart Of The Jungle…

The essence of adventure was truly captured throughout this wedding. The Hyatt in Huntington Beach was transformed into an elegant jungle with cascading greenery and brightly coloured blooms transporting wedding guests to a rainforest paradise. This venue design is perfect inspiration for the newly weds that love the great outdoors and can’t stop daydreaming about their next getaway.

Sweet As Sugar…

Our candy loving hearts are screaming over this incredible set up. Complete with giant macaroons, a lolly bar and a milkshake station, this candy land is any sweet tooth’s dream come true. Every detail of this sugary venue design will make the guests mouths water and have them wishing they could have dessert for every course. We are totally here for this OTT celebration of all things sweet. This may not be a wedding, but certainly a fabulous idea for a bridal shower or engagement party!

Fairy Garden Fantasy…

Every couple wants to be centre stage at their ceremony but these newly weds have taken that desire to the next level. This fairytale set up encapsulates bright colours, soft lights and an ethereal mist to achieve the highest form of beauty. The aisle is more like an enchanting catwalk and has been adorned with beautiful wildflowers to make the alter look like a fairy garden. Not even in our wildest dreams could we have pictured a more dreamy ceremony.
