Minimoons

Today's Weddinsday will be the last for a while as I am about to take off to South America for our delayed honeymoon! Trekking through Machu Picchu isn't exactly the romantic beachside escape most newlyweds go for, but we already had a mini version of that in Noosa right after the wedding, which brings us to todays post of 'Minimoons'.

Weddings are hard work. So much organisation and planning goes into the day that it is often hard to look beyond the day itself. And if, like us, you are wanting an epic honeymoon on the other side of the world, it is almost impossible to plan both at the same time. Minimoons are the perfect solution. An easy, local escape long enough to let you unwind after the wedding crazy, but not so long that it uses up all your annual leave.

Groom Cakes

I love cake. So much so that this is the second cake post in a row, but you can never have too much cake, right? Quirky brides are apparently of this same opinion and are surprising their grooms with their very own wedding cake. Lets face it, guys don't get much of a say when it comes to the styling of a the cake, so this is a sweet way to incorporate your man's personality and have him feeling super special.

Let them eat..... cake?

It's hard to believe, but there are some people out there who don't like cake - I know, right?? As foreign a concept this is to me, it seems not so foreign in the big world of google, where there are dozens of alternatives to the traditional cake. So if you are wanting the obligatory cutting-the-cake-shot without the actual cake, here are a few delicious alternatives.

The key to my heart

Vintage skeleton keys are ridiculously romantic with the whole you-have-the-keys-to-my-heart thing, so they are perfect for a rustic wedding. Being small, skeleton keys can be used in lots of unexpected and unique ways. I especially love the 'Keys to a Happy Marriage' advice table!
