Our Wedding Logo

I learned from this entry at projectwedding.com how to easily create a logo or monogram in Microsoft Word.  This easy project allowed us to achieve a consistent feel throughout our wedding.  We used it everywhere, from our Save the Dates, stickers on kisses, table decorations, favors, and even our cake topper.  Any time one of my friends saw this, they immediately thought of our wedding.

I created two versions.  I liked the hand drawn feel of the printed one but Mr. T liked the finished feel of the script one so we went with it.  I think we made the right choice.

The Cake

CAKE

I saw this cake on Pinterest and knew I wanted it even before I knew I was getting married. 


Actually, it was the first (probably only) element that was set in place from the beginning and never changed. Thanks to this tutorial, and the mad skills of Veronica at Veronica's Cakes I got this beautiful cake.  She got the color just right and I hear it tasted divine, neither John nor I got a single taste.  Hopefully we wrapped the top layer well enough that it will still taste good on our first anniversary.

TOPPER
To make the topper, I printed our logo on a sheet of clear, sticky inkjet paper then adhered it to a piece of cardboard that I found at work.  I cut a bamboo skewer in half and put the two pieces in one of the corrugate channels and stuck it on top of the cake.
