Bridal showers are some of my favorite parties to look at because they are always a celebration of love. What could be more hopeful and romantic... a party for someone embarking on that special life journey with a soul mate.

I found this interactive Candyland-themed engagement announcement on the Broke-Ass Bride.  It's wonderful.

I love creative people in love!  Check it out here.

If you read my blog, you know I love anything personal and quirky when it comes to parties... especially weddings.

(To see two of my favorite personal and quirky weddings click here and here.)

With "Eclipse" about to open at the end of the month, and being the cake lover that I am, I thought I'd honor the movie with my nine favorite Twilight saga cakes.

Aren't they just beautiful?

I'm loving Save on Crafts.  It speaks to the DIYer in me begging to come out.

I browse through the site and think about all the crazy things I could do here:

I fell in love with Morgan + KTs Picnic Engagement Party the first moment I saw the pictures.

What speaks to me about it is that it's homemade, low key, beautiful, fun, and all about love.  What could be better?

I love "Top Chef Masters," so how psyched was I to watch last week's episode and see that it was "Wedding Wars."

I wish I could have tasted the food.  How many times have I been to a wedding where the food was just adequate, or not even that great.  What would it be like to be at a wedding and eat food prepared by awesome chefs?

Today was the first day I saw an episode of  "Amazing Wedding Cakes" and now I'm hooked.  It's on the WeTV cable network and there are some seriously cool cakes on this show.

So here are the three cakes that were featured in today's episode.  My favorite is the Barcelona cake, styled after Gaudi's most famous building in Barcelona and created by Cake Alchemy in New York.

I stumbled upon this new online magazine, Nonpareil, dedicated to DIY projects for weddings and parties.  I thought it was beautiful so I had to write about it.

So far they only have two issues up, but what I love are the free downloadables and tutorials, plus the photo spreads are gorgeous.
