If you're thinking of great wedding inspiration for the coming spring season, look no further than 100 Layer Cake - one of our favorite wedding blogs. They cover a variety of weddings and feature top wedding vendors, from the best photographers to the best florists. And we flipped and did handstands (mentally!) when we saw the breathtaking one-of-a-kind fresh flower headpieces created by Philadelphia designer Sullivan Owen

Here are some of our favorite floral headpieces from 100 Layer Cake. Click on the photographs to read about Sullivan's beautiful work. Each headpiece makes us think of romance, spring, and love in full blossom.

5 Great Love Feasts - Our Favorite Wedding Spreads

If you're into "eye candy" and out-of-this-world tastes, a wonderful wedding food presentation is difficult to beat. We love the way 100 Layer Cake - one of our favorite wedding blogs - covers a variety of top weddings. They certain give us great ideas for the events we're either going to plan for other happy couples or planning for our own walk-down-the-aisle events. 

Here are 5 of our favorite recent weddings from 100 Layer Cake. Click on the photographs to read about each wedding, and see how this gorgeous food fits in with the rest of the wedding decor and overall festivities.

#1 - Above and below, a winter wedding scene in rustic Prince Edward Island, Canada, brings on visions of heart-shaped marshmallows floating in hot chocolate, divine treats, and elegant, tailored cakes.

 

#2 - *Magical* is the only way to describe the next wedding, in an elaborate treehouse setting in a California forest - even with a musical babbly brook flowing nearby. An oversized mosquito netting protects the woodland treats, and a formal forest reception with to-die-for desserts couldn't be more amazing.

100 Layer Cake: Let's Go to a Speakeasy Theme Wedding


In case the thought has crossed your mind, the answer is yes. You can plan a stunning wedding in NYC while living in London. You’d need a fab planner & stylist like Jillian Event Design as your go-to-execute-the-wedding-of-my-dreams gal, along with the best talents in NYC, but it can be done.
 
While this wedding didn’t have a sit down dinner, the Getaway Car and the Rat Pack cocktails + mouth-watering raw bar is warning enough that this party was a success. It was romantic, loungey, and had just the right amount of reds and warm indoor feeling perfect to share before the recent holiday weekend. All this without mentioning the signage. Fans of calligraphy and type, this wedding is to lust over!
Ladies, don’t ever miss a sample sale. That’s how Shannon found her Alice Temperley dream dress. Could it be any more perfect for a speakeasy themed wedding?
The best looking (little) men at the wedding, hands down, their two twin boys.

100 Layer Cake: Vintage Wallpaper Wedding Details

We have a particular interest in patterns and colors and textures when it comes to weddings and decor in general. So when we think about projects to share with brides planning and crafting their wedding, these elements immediately come to mind.
 
 
The challenging part can be finding patterns that are unique, that go together, and that come in big enough pieces that you can use them for all sorts of projects throughout your wedding.

Actually, it doesn't have to be vintage. It's the cuteness of the patterns and the amount of material you get with each roll that makes it special. But you can find awesome deals on vintage rolls and the patterns tend to be really fun.

Because you have so much of it, wallpaper is an awesome way to carry a color theme through your entire wedding.
