An otherwise ordinary gold leather belt takes this J. Crew wedding gown to a whole new level! Jenna Lyons (J. Crew’s creative director) would be proud:

This couple rented a ferris wheel for their nuptials. Now that’s certainly a wedding we’d love to be a part of, and think of all the wonderful photos, too:

This sunny and beautifully textured cake is perfect not only for a wedding but for a birthday celebration or shower. Talk about an instant mood booster!

We hope your weekend’s been great!

Jenny Keller recently created an über fun “Ice Cream Shop” theme for a couple’s recent wedding reception. The bride had requested serving just ice cream cone cupcakes, which she’d seen in Martha Stewart Weddings, but Jenny “suggested an entire dessert table with an Ice Cream Shop theme. They loved it!”

We’re delighted by everything from the chocolate-dipped Rice Krispies bars, vanilla cupcakes topped with ice cream cone cookies and the cookies and cream cake pops. And the colorful sprinkles brought everything together beautifully! This is a display that could carry over into birthday parties and bridal showers with ease.

A special thanks goes to Jenny for letting us share this fun idea! You can see the complete gallery of delicious photos here.

Love, Raya
