Backyard Wedding in Sacramento, CA – Derek & Margot

When Margot originally contacted me, she was looking way far out – I was expecting her to get married in the middle of 2013.  But, as is the way with so many military weddings, it turned out that a last minute mid-September was actually in the cards.  Luckily, I was still free, and I was positively amazed at what this couple put together in one month!  Their cake vendor, Shelton’s Wedding Cake Designs, was also super understanding about the circumstances and put together the lovely cake you see below as well (military families take note!).

Almost every detail that isn’t food here is handmade from the self-described working bride – the heart decorations are pages cut out of Pride and Prejudice, and the bouquets were all an amazing mixture of locally sourced flowers and handmade paper flowers.  As a fellow lover of the paper arts, I was pretty much over the moon.  Congrats, Derek and Margot! I really wish you both all the best.
