When Martha Stewart is your aunt, your wedding has to be this beautiful! Martha hosted her nephew’s wedding and the details are perfection!

Grooms Christopher Herbert and Timothy Long shared a private moment near Martha Stewart’s horse pasture in Bedford, New York.  Hosted by the wedding guru herself, Martha Stewart, the details of Chris’ and Tim’s wedding were perfect. Both grooms were elegantly dressed in J. Crew,  the centerpiece was designed with white Japanese beautyberry branches and peegee hydrangea, while vintage inkwells and twine-wrapped bottles display jasmine, dahlias, and yellow zinnias. “We chose antique vessels because they’re beautiful, romantic, and have a unique sense of history,” says the couple’s event designer, David Stark of David Stark Design and Production.

The outdoor service was held in front of Martha’s picturesque stone-crafted horse barn. After Chris and Tim reaffirmed their vows in front of 70 of their closest friends and family, they took to the lawn for a garden party replete with lawn games, picnic baskets, a twenties-style jazz band, and a rustic spread of culinary offerings set up to mimic a farmers’ market. Late in the day, with the party in full swing, the couple sneaked away to the horse pasture for a few private photographs. “We had a great view of the reception, so we just stood there and watched for a while,” says Chris. “Everyone was having so much fun, and it looked so romantic. It was everything we could have hoped for.”

Step One : The scrumptious sugar cookie has been baked and cut into a shape of a dress form- exclusive Weddingish design.  You may pick your favorite dress cookie cutter!

Step Three: The edible newsprint sheet with the famous words “will you be my bridesmaid?” in various fonts is then gently placed on the ‘wet’ icing of the skirt.

Step Four: The ‘skirt’ is carefully cut and shaped to the form of the cookie.

Step Five: Once the icing has dried, the dress is then ‘piped’ with black royal icing to outline the dress form. Then detailed on top with three ‘buttons.’ This gives the cookie a clean and finished look.

Step Six: To finish off the classy style, a ribbon belt is tied at the waist of the dress cookie and the cookie is placed in a decorative box for presentation. You may select any style or color of ribbon to coordinate with your wedding color or theme.
