Wedding Weekend






Last week was very busy but ended with the lovely wedding of Jacquelyn and Craig, friends from Calgary who chose to get married in Victoria. Unfortunately the sun did not make much of an appearance but the drizzle did not take away from the beauty of the day. The ceremony was outside under a tent at the Ocean Pointe Hotel and overlooked the water. Little Aria made a perfect little flower girl and Alison once again went above and beyond by doing all of the flowers for the weeding and much more planning to boot. Leon of course sang at the ceremony and the reception as well as serenaded Jacquelyn along with Joey of Destino.
I was very pleased with the final result of the wedding cake although there were the usual baking for a deadline stresses along the way. But two days of baking, icing and decorating paid off and the bride seemed very pleased. Dinner was delicious and 68 of us dined as we overlooked the water and the evening lights of the city.





And without a DOUBT the Green table was the most enjoyable! All of the tables were colour coded by placecards, centrepieces (done by Alison) and accents. The whole theme of the wedding was monochromatic black and white with the flowers providing the colour.

Gorgeous Cake Rach! Well done, you should really go into business now! So, Alison might not appreciate you putting her doing the "flowers" and "weeding" in the same sentence. Typo anyone? love ya! At first I thought the man in the red was her new husband and thought he was a little old for the bride! Ha! silly me..

Haha! I was going to give you heads up on the 'weeding' too :) Rach - your cake is beautiful - all the practice on your kiddies b-day cakes (and maybe a course or two) really payed off! You have talent my friend! The wedding looked fabulous!
