With the rustic trend going strong, classic Canadiana continues bear influence on everything from fashion to decor. There are endless options when it comes to wedding-appropriate Cancon — especially if you’re hosting a woodsy or whimsical affair.

On September 17th Katherine Kallinis, costar of TLC’s DC Cupcakes, tied the knot to Ben Berman in Montecito, California. The cupcake queen’s signature sweet treats were a centrepiece of both the bridal shower and wedding.
Cupcake placecards welcomed shower guests and a tower of boxed cupcakes ensured each lady would have a treat for the road.
At the wedding, the bride (dressed in a Vera Wang Chantilly lace and French tulle gown) and her matron of honour, Katherine’s sister and co-star Sophie (who wore a navy Monique Lhuillier number), accessorized with Judith Leiber crystal-encrusted cupcake-shaped evening bags. Guests were also treated to a show-stopping nine-foot-tall wedding cupcake tower made of 5,000 cupcakes created by Sophie.

As Valentine’s Day approaches (have you been following our 14-day countdown to heart day by the way?) my inbox has been nothing but flooded with shades and visions of red, pink, treats and hearts galore. From romantic fragrances to sexy lingerie, it’s pretty much been nonstop ever since Christmas commenced. One sweet shop in particular caught my eye, The Designer Cookie who’s e-news slogan is ‘Valentine’s Day Has Never Been Sweeter’–and I completely agree. Looking at their mouth-watering cupcakes, well, let’s just say I can’t stop obsessing over them.

I love it when I get e-mails with subject lines like: giant cupcake! That’s what I got from Roxy at Roxycakes yesterday morning.

Some of the best decor ideas come from talented stylists such as Selina Lake. I first fell in love with her work a few weeks ago and constantly found myself going back through her images for inspiration. The coloured roses, simple cupcakes topped with real flowers and ribbon-wrapped bread (which could serve perhaps as wedding favours) were a few fun ideas of Selina’s that I thought I’d share with you.
