Kay, now everyone… pay attention here. Cakes. Gorgeous, hand-painted, little sculptural cakes. Magpie’s. Just launched. Pretty amazing. Isn’t each one like a little piece of art? How could you bear to cut into one? Well, if they taste as good as they look, clearly you could make the sacrifice. DC peeps, pls order. And share photos.

When we saw these images from Marc & Cecilia’s wedding, shot by Michelle King, we knew we had to share them with you.  The couple chose the most romantically rustic location in San Pancho, Mexico – gorgeous, authentic and totally lush. Naturally, the event was full of genuine Mexican details like a traditional mariachi band and a taco bar, topped off by a little tequila and some unbelievable underwater shots by Michelle.

The scene was a serene resort on the coast in the heart of the Nayarit jungle – the perfect place for the widespread families of Cecilia (a Mexican Catholic) and Marc (an American Jewish) to gather as these two got married.

What an impressive location – it doesn’t get much better than this! Not even a power outage stopped this all-night celebration.

And now for the best part – these breathtaking underwater photos of the newlyweds. They are so dreamy and refreshing – incredible work, Michelle, they came out perfect!

Completely beautiful, you guys – we’re in awe.

Ladies, get your hankies ready, we have something that is going to make you drool like never before – a gorgeous boudoir-style photo shoot by the wildly talented Heather Waraska. This one was featured on Style Me Pretty, and just like them, we can’t get over the insane amount of rich, luxurious and feminine details. It’s truthfully the epitome of eye candy. Prepare yourself.

How phenomenal are these colored perfume bottles? We could spend all day getting ready in this room. Such a brill idea for centerpieces or other tabletop decor.

Ah, that dress! That veil! That gorgeous round chaise! Are you dying yet?

Absolutely in love with the girly details, like these petite glass bottles for bride and groom atop this gorgeous vanity table.

Totally hooked on this cozy, vintage, rustic-feeling tabletop setting. You can’t go wrong with a gramophone and candelabras, can you?

This next set is a total baker’s delight. Look at all those delicious treats…macaroons and the teensy tiny berry tarts are such a perfect option for the couple who aren’t into cake-y things. And is that a….golden frosted cake?  Love it!

This next look isn’t for the faint of heart.

That is one photo shoot that will be hard to top. We can’t wait to see more from these talented artists!

We spotted this super rad leather bracelet tutorial from Maikitten last week and thought you guys might be interested… perhaps as pressies for your maids? (Or as a fun project for yourself, of course).

You can see the whole tutorial, which is mostly in German but you can get the gist from the pics, on Maikitten . (via Elle Interior).

We love this little album FMN Design put together from an engagement shoot by Stephanie Williams. Such a great way to showcase photos from your engagement shoot. Perhaps use it as your guestbook at your wedding and then enjoy it on your coffee table when the party is over.

Pretty, right? FMN Design makes wedding albums, baby albums and any other album you might want made too. Check em.
