SAVE-THE-DATES
It’s all about showpieces. They are supercreative and personalized to the max: printed on fabric, styled like movie posters, mimicking vintage postcards—you name it.

Call it lavender, grape, lilac…. Brides are gaga for the royal hue in all its tonal variations.

COMEBACK OF THE YEAR
The groom’s cake. It’s all about his interests—created to look like a record player, a race car, even a fishing hole or a golf course. And yet…it’s served at the rehearsal dinner, so as not to steal the wedding cake’s spotlight on the big day.
Happy planning !
