Ahhhhhhh!!! Ok so after one heck of a week it was nice to wrap it up with the marraige of my new brother-in-law, Hector and my baby sister, Tina. It was a beautiful day and I don't think any of us could ask for a better day to celebrate such an occasion!

| Brides Bouquet |
I'm not going to dwell to much on the how to's. :) I got lucky and the week I got her flower and the stuff to go with was on sale. Yay! All the corsages, boutonnieres, and bouquets were made with three bunches of flowers. I bought a four leaf clover punch because I found on marthastewart.com a bouquet made with them and she liked that idea. It was supposed to be crepe paper, but I used felt. It would be easier to use the punch with paper of course though. Floral tape was wrapped around the bottoms of everything except the corsages. I used the floral tape to keep the corsages closed and then I tied with a ribbon. Only the bride and the corsages had the clovers. I wanted uniqueness between the bouquets. Then for the ribbon around the bouquets I tied in the front, went around the back and then I tied in the front again. To attach the clover, use floral tape, wrap around the stem of the clover gently and the attach wherever you'd like. That's pretty much it.

| Wedding Cake |
So you know that moment when you know you took on too much or just need to relax? That happened to me. I originally wanted to make a cake pop cake for my sister. I saw someone do it for a wedding and thought how neat that would be, but it back fired. :( It looked like plaster or cement and lets just say I think I have a while before I master the cake pop craze. :) So I made the now newly weds a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting of course! I tried to make the fondant black, but I'm a newby at that too and it turned marbaly, but it looked great! Added some ribbon and a chalkboard topper. Whala!
