Cupcake Bar {Wedding & Party Planning Inspiration}

cupcake bar wedding and party inspiration{Style Swoon}

How much fun does a build-your-own cupcake bar sound?! It seems like it would be such a fun thing to do at a wedding shower, baby shower, or any type of party! A “DIY” cupcake bar is a fun twist on the more popular dessert bars and tables, and I’m looking forward to having one at my own wedding shower later this year.

Bake a few batches of different cupcake flavors. Chocolate, vanilla, red velvet, or whatever your sweet tooth wants! Whip up some different frosting options, and that is it. You’re ready for set up.

If you don’t want to bake your own cupcakes and mix up some frostings, have no fear! Why not have a cupcake topping bar? Pick up the most appealing cupcakes you spy and a variety of toppings. Berries, sprinkles, chocolate chips, and caramel sauce are all great options. The set up can be just as cute too! Check out this amazing cupcake topping bar below.

Peach & Lavender Spring Wedding Inspiration

Spring is just around the corner! It’s less than two months away, and I cannot wait for Spring’s arrival. I also cannot wait for the arrival of Spring weddings. I absolutely adore them! With Spring now in sight, I thought today would be the perfect time to create this pastel wedding inspiration board. Our first Spring wedding inspiration of the year!

This combination of peach and lavender is just oh-so dreamy, don’t you think? I think they make for perfect Spring wedding colors.

Happy Wedding Wednesday everyone!

Wedding of the Week: Jenny & Blake

It is said that everything in Texas is bigger… Jenny & Blake’s wedding was no exception. Their love and style is seen throughout their wedding day, with a strong mix of eclectic flair, including a surprise flash mob which was choreographed by the bride, a former Dallas Mavericks Dancer and Director & Choreographer for the Dallas Cowboys Rhythm & Blue Dancers.

Jenny and Blake - Edmonson Weddings - 1We love the special connection to Jenny’s father, a former Vietnam Veteran, in this shot which includes his dog tags that he gave her when she turned 16 after having them covered in platinum and diamond.

Bride & Groom: Jenny & Blake

Location: Dallas, Texas

Most memorable aspect of this shoot: The bride is a choreographer and most of the bridal party and female guests where all either former or current Mavericks dancers, Rhythm & Blues Dancers or Dallas cowboy cheerleaders. There was a moment right after the cake cutting where a friend walks out like he is a waiter with plastic dishes. Another girl crashes into him and there was a big commotion and then the band kicked in and a flash mob broke out that Jenny had choreographed- all the dancers in the audience came out and rocked the floor… it was a great moment

Style: There are moments that you capture in a photo journalistic way but the majority of the day was spent with intentional shooting. We wanted to capture the beauty of their day in an intentional artistic and creative way that didn’t leave moments that we knew were important to “chance.”

The most important thing to us is light over location; find beautiful light. Highlight special connections like a bride and father’s love for her. Something that you can appreciate today, in ten years you love and in 30 if he was to pass away, you cherish it, not to mention the legacy it provides your daughters one day about what a father’s love looks like. It’s a legacy.

For the groom, we wanted him to be shot like we would want to be shot ourselves. Like a cool guy, James Bond-esque with a little mystery.

Inspiration: In our photography world we have many friends who are our iron sharpening iron…for weddings there’s Luke’s wedding photographer “Jerry Ghionis” and another dear friend of ours “Mike Colon.” Our biggest inspiration comes from shooting together as a father and son-it’s a special opportunity to share in this moment in life together and create something larger than ourselves. Luke’s beautiful wife Bethany and the new life they are creating together and our families inspire us. But the ultimate creativity and inspiration comes from our relationship with our Heavenly Father.

These two couldn’t be more in love and happy together.

{Top Row – People, Images – 1/2/3/4}

Molly Sims and Scott Stuber had quite the Classic California wedding in Napa Valley late last year, and it was certainly quite the timeless, elegant, and unforgettable celebration.

Although it was of course a celebrity wedding with a celebrity budget, achieving a similar look and feel at your own wedding is certainly attainable. Add a few key style ingredients like a peach bouquet, stunning veil, white rose petals, and mismatched neutral bridesmaid dresses into a mix of your own ideas during the planning process. In no time at all, you’ll be on the way to completing a cohesive, classic wedding celebration of your own!

Happy Planning,
