Sonoma Wedding

 

A few weeks ago, we packed our bags and headed to San Francisco, and then on to the Sonoma Valley for a wedding.  It has been a really busy fall with lots of travel, and it was nice to save one of the best trips for last.  Those who know me know I am an "antsy" flier (to put it nicely), so the fact that I was looking forward to 6 hours on a plane with nothing to do and no responsibilities sums up the previous few months.  :)

 

I made California-shaped cookies with a heart over the wedding location, packaged as favors for each guest.  It was a beautiful wedding, and weekend -- and I loved the way the favors looked at each place setting.

 

Happy wedding, Jake and Jen!  Such a fun weekend.



Georgetown Wedding

Checking in with a quick instagram pic of some Tombs sign cookies I did for a wedding at Georgetown this weekend.

Bachelorette Party Cookies

These cookies were made from yet another Sweet Sugar Belle tutorial (found here), and were the perfect accompaniment to a bachelorette party this past weekend.

 

Happy Bachelorette, Jen!!

Wedding Shower Tulips

Wedding Shower

It's wedding shower season, and I did a batch for a friend's sister-in-law, whose shower was last weekend.  I used her wedding colors of black, white, and blush pink.

Happy wedding shower, Lora!

A Pair Of Wedding Showers

I had some brightly-colored cookie favors to do for two different wedding showers this week.

First up, some wedding cakes and gowns with bright trim and initials:

 

For the other shower, I used the names of the bride and groom and colors to match the shower theme and invitations:

 

Fun to do, and I loved how well the colors photographed.

 

Fall Wedding

2012 has been the year of weddings.  As we were dancing the night away on Saturday, Maury said to me: "what was that wedding, before Cat's, where we had so much fun dancing?"  Well, friends, that was OUR wedding.  :)  At least he described it as fun.

This post is nominally about cookies -- Jill (of wine tasting and bridal shower fame) and Brian got married on Saturday night and Jill picked her accent color to be poppy red.  So, I couldn't resist making a few poppy cookies for the occasion.

 I made a few packages for the newlyweds to have a midnight snack, too:

The weather was perfect, and it was a gorgeous setting....equally as gorgeous was Jill in her dress.  I couldn't get over the flowers (done by her matron of honor and sister-in-law -- amazing!):

 Congrats, Brian and Jill!  So happy for you!

Cat & Jeff Get Hitched

My group of college friends have been lucky enough to have a wedding to attend among our crowd about every 6 months to a year, and this weekend we all trekked out to Cape Cod to celebrate Cat and Jeff!

It was so appropriate accomplished rhymer Cat nicknamed the wedding the Cape Escape.  With dozens of emails flying around the country, we planned the weekend and couldn't wait to celebrate.

Most of the others helped in more practical ways (rides from the airport, coordinating a rental house/food, etc), but I decided to bake beach-themed cookies.

A few sailboats and starfish later....

Cat didn't let the rainy weather dampen her spirit (she never does!), and we were all thrilled to see that the rain held on Saturday for a morning walk along the breakwater in Provincetown....and we were even MORE thrilled that it stayed that way all day.  The view was gorgeous and the light was perfect as we all gathered to enjoy the beautiful wedding ceremony.

Congrats Cat and Jeff, we love you!  The weekend of gabbing, dancing, and eating wore us out.  So much fun!!!  I'm taking Jerry's lead and resting up for the next time we can get together:
