Bride and Police Officer Wedding Cake Toppers

I recently had the honor of making these extra cute toppers for a couple in Washington state! The groom is obviously a police officer and even though he will not be wearing his uniform to the wedding the bride wanted his topper to reflect what he did everyday. I love this idea and putting on all the little details of the uniform was so fun and I think it came out super cute! 

Indian Bride Wedding Cake Toppers

I love to create toppers for unique couples. I have been wanting to make a bride in a sari so bad and finally got the chance to do it! I hand painted the organza to create an illusion of the pattern on the sari. I had so much fun making these toppers....I hope I get more orders like this one soon! Wink wink....tell your friends about DSMeeBee!! 

Heirloom Fabric Petal and Button Wedding Bouquet

Fabric Petal and Button Wedding Bouquet

I used fabric that was hemmed off of my bridesmaid’s dresses to make the pink petals and other white fabric I found at my local fabric store for contrast. My bouquet is larger and has buttons within the petals. My bridesmaid’s have smaller bouquets with matching petals to mine and white ostrich feather embellishments. Alone each bouquet is beautiful in its own right but all together they really are amazing....like friends. As a personal touch I added a pinned photo of my Mother who passed away when I was 12 years old at the base of my bouquet. I also added a personal touch on each one of the bridesmaid’s bouquets by adding the initial of their first names on each of the handles.

These bouquets perfectly match the feeling and look of my romantic soft wedding theme. But the great thing about DIY is that you can take an idea for someone and make it your own by changing the colors and materials. 

Hope you ENJOY!

A Bride's Best Friend....And Her Groom!

Hipster Bride and Groom Wedding Cake Toppers

I had a so much fun making these "hipster" wedding cake toppers for a recent client. I love the little feather details on the veil  and the Groom's ultra cool glasses. I also photographed the toppers in one of my new custom bases. I love the way they look under the "all you need is love" banner! Super cute and super fun wedding cake toppers! 

My DIY Gum Paste Wedding Cake Flowers

I made my own gum paste flowers for my wedding cake. In my attempt to save money I decided to not spend hundreds and hundreds on a wedding cake and instead I paid a friend to make and frost the cake while I made the gum paste flowers.  


Since the wedding cake was not the most important aspect of our wedding, attempting this was not a huge risk. We had a taste test with our friend and we already know if the cake didn't look so good it would taste amazing! But my goal was to try to make it look great as well. 


I followed gum paste a recipe I found online and bought a starter gum paste flower kit and some peddle dust. These were my results! I am very happy with the final product and I'm glad I didn't spend $600 + on my wedding cake I would say instead about $200. You can't argue with that!

My Review Of Fabric Stores in Boston

Sewfisticated

Sewfisticated is an awesome store to find a variety of cheep fabrics. I always buy cottons there they start from $1-$3 a yard....Amazing! They also have a huge variety of trims and elastics. This store may not have the most modern prints but what I get for the price is unbeatable. The only thing is that the location is a little hard to get from by public transportation......it is about a 10 minutes walking from the Lechmere train station.

Gather Here and Make Something

This store probably has the cutest variety of fabric prints I have seen in Boston but the problem is the prices! OMG they are so high but it so hard to pass them up. The cottons start from about $9-15 a yard and the organic cottons start at $16 a yard. I went during a sale so it wasn't as bad but you really need a special project to go there. This store also has a huge amount of knitting and crochet supplies and yarn. One really cute thing about his store is that they also have classes which you can sign up for online and they also offer a free knitters brunch every Saturday.

Windmill Fabrics

Windmill is my go to fabric store inside of Boston. When I was in college and didn't have a car this was the easiest place to get to. You can walk there from Downtown Crossing or from Boylston T station. This place has a great variety of fabrics and the price are pretty reasonable starting from about $4 a yard from cotton. The prints may not be as modern or cute as Gather Here but for the location and prices I say it is totally worth the trip.
