we all scream for ice cream

It could be my constant sweet tooth or the amazing InStyle ice cream shoot designed by the talented Amy Atlas that has me running for the nearest freezer, but either way I'm all about a sweet ending to a sweet day.

Instead of or along with your traditional wedding cake, surprise your guests with an ice cream bar.Or pull out all the stops and cater your ice cream from a local dairy shop--complete with the authentic outfit!

Want to impress your guests more? Try this mobile ice cream buffet! Or hire your local, darling ice cream truck to pull right on up to your reception. That way you're guests will get a blast from the past with all the kiddie flavors!

Eco-friendly Cupcake Wrappers

Cupcakes are so fun. They don't have a favorite season and texture can be added almost everywhere [and we all know I love texture]! You can choose from a variety of flavors, icing, toppings, and wrappers.

Printed on recycled paper using soy ink, these eco-friendly cupcake wrappers are super adorable and would fit any season! Love the light pink and gray for a unique winter wedding. And even if you're opting for a beautiful tiered cake, these wrappers can be used for candy holders or individual favor holders. A beautiful way to add texture and color while going green!
