Summer Weddings

Summer is always busy with

weddings and showers and

fun celebrations.

I made these cookies for

a wedding shower for 

my dear friend Rylie.  I have

known her since she was two.  What

a lovely and loving person she is

so I wanted to make something special

for her wedding shower which was

held at my house.

When I had gone to Cookie Con this

spring I thought of buying cookie

cutters in collections, like

a wedding collection, a baby shower collection, etc.

So this collection has a wedding show, a diamond

ring, a couple of wedding dresses, and a temple.

I topped the cookie tier with a wedding

cake topped with a heart and a larger wedding

dress that my DIL Audra had given me.

These were take home gifts for the bride.

All of the cookies were covered in white

homemade fondant

flavored with almond

and then covered with pearlescent spray.

Little rose hearts adorned the dresses and pearls

adorned the shoes.

Then this week I was asked to make a couple

of wedding bouquets.

My niece had asked me to do it for her 

roommate.

I had only done my daughter's 

bridals photo bouquet 

so I was a little

nervous, but we bought a selection 

of flowers in the bride's colors and just

started playing with them.

I thought they turned out beautifully.

This was the bridal bouquet.

This was the toss bouquet.

They were finished off with a wide

wire ribbon and then smaller organza

ribbons with pearlized pins.

So Purple Chocolat Home

has been enjoying weddings!
