I couldn’t help but fall in love with this completely adorable wedding that Aaron over at Aaron Lockwood Photography sent our way. Aside from being held at one of the most fabulous St. Petersburg venues, the Museum of Fine Arts, it’s also 100% personality. Which you know we LOVE, LOVE, LOVE here at Chic Sweets.

The design behind this dessert table was all about featuring the colors that I adore: shades of pink, coral, and yellow infused the table and reception decor. They created a wonderful monogram and to make the design a focal point, it was blown up behind a curtain of ribbons, varying in different widths. The table was filled with different types of their favorite candies–gummi bears, gum balls, rock candy, etc. And to top the table off we added some adorable marshmallow pops, echoing the bright colors.

Thanks again to Aaron for the lovely pics! I also added a few of our own from my amateur-photo taking skills.

Also special, special thanks to Sandy Rule from Sandy Rule Events for putting all the pieces together for this fantastic wedding and to Conceptbait for the lighting, draping and decor (whew!).

Happy Monday!

Adorable Circus-Themed Baby Shower

Hey everyone! I know…I know…we are usually all about weddings here but we did a dessert table for a baby shower not that long ago and I just couldn’t help myself!

We’re sharing this absolutely darling baby shower held for one of my favorite people ever, the fabulous Aymee Brace of Brides Florida, hosted by some of her best friends…Sandy Rule, Ashly Olivier, Gretchen Hill and Ashley McMahon who all happened to be some of the best in the wedding industry (lucky girl, right?), a dessert table by us and Phillip Lloyd who snapped the pics. The “fab-four” planned this platinum shower and did not miss a beat on any of the details for this adorable shower.

This dessert table was so much fun to design. We loved seeing the vision come to life–the colors, the red and white striped backdrop, the cute little “bunting” banner and what would a dessert table be without some favor boxes to take home? We took small, Kraft Gable boxes, filled them with some delicious chocolate dipped oreos and wrapped them twine with a cute little tag created by Andrea from Paper Presence. And for what had to be my favorite part of the table–Jones Soda Bottles in shades of reds and blues were topped off with the cutest labels, another adorable creation by Andrea.

Aside from the dessert table, we were also happy to create some wonderful centerpieces for the tables. And yes, the lollipops were even in bigger in person!

This was Aymee’s third pregnancy and everyone always has such amazing things to say about her… there was so much love and joy in the room. All of us are wishing her and her wonderful family lots of love, laughter, health and happiness.
