Floral Accessories
As we enter a new day and age, many brides are embracing the theme of going back to nature and borrowing its beauty to share on their special day.

Cake!
Over the past decade, the type of cake that has been the center of everyone’s attention is the fondant cake. It especially took off with pastry shows that displayed the large range that fondant has. It can be used, shaped or molded into almost anything! However, it seems that an old classic is begging to reappear. Most wedding cakes are now being made with buttercream. As far as buttercream goes, it is very versatile in itself and tastes amazing so it is no surprise that it is back with the trends.
Sometimes things do get better with age, yet as old trends begin to reappear it is not just a direct copy of the past. As we all know, it is better to study history so we do not repeat it. That is why great artists look to the past for inspiration and create a beautiful twist on something that we loved and create something new out of it. It is made this way so that we have a gentle reminder of the good that happened in the past all the while telling us to keep looking forward.
