Love and Lavender - Henk and Melinda's Vintage Themed Wedding

We are honored to be featured in Love and Lavender's Blog on Vintage Themed Weddings this past week. Henk and Melinda had the most gorgeous Wedding. The Venue was just Beautiful. The loving couple celebrated with their friends and family for over a week. How fun is that? They had parties and special events planned each day for there friends and family.  To see all the amazing photos by Atelier Pictures swing over to http://www.loveandlavender.com/2014/05/vintage-travel-themed-wedding/. The Bride was a Gorgeous Queen and the Groom the perfect King. When you walked into the venue there was so much to take in from the beautiful peacock feathers to the ice sculptures. The view was AMAZING right along the Columbia River on a perfect sunny day.

As a cake artist I was honored to be a part of this Vintage Themed Wedding. I partnered with the talented Liz Marek to complete the whole piece. Liz worked on the details and I made all the cakes. The cakes were hand carved to look like vintage luggage pieces. The design showcased the Bride and Groom and their family. They travel all over the world and enjoy so many different countries what a perfect way to share their lives.

The cakes were Pink Champagne filled with Bavarian Cream, White Sour Cream filled with Strawberry preserves, Lemon Cake with Raspberry and Chocolate Cake filled with Chocolate Ganache. The cakes were covered in French Buttercream and Fondant. Hand Detailed. All of the 3D work was hand sculpted  from of Fondant and also features edible imaging.
