I heart Modern Luxe Events!

Can I just say, that I recently found the sweetest shop on ETSY! Yes, I really did.  Modern Luxe Events is the sweetest, cutest and most practical shop on ETSY. The idea of this bakery, is to beautifully decorate your cakes, cupcakes and baked goods with handmade goodies on a low budget. This shop is every party planner, bride and maid of honor’s dream! These sweet flowers can easily be placed on a wedding cake, or a bridal shower cake. They can be used for just about any kind of party in need of a well-decorated desert.

The best part about ordering from this shop is how easy it is! Just think, there is hardly any artistic ability required on your part. All you have to do is simply frost a cake, or cupcake with plain white frosting. Then, simply place the pre-baked sugary flowers from Modern Luxe Events on the cake. Isn’t that the best idea since sliced bread? I think so…

Mindy: “Chris and Astrid are fun, playful, sexy, emotive and one of our favorite couples. Nags Head, North Carolina is a beautiful place to get married. The smell of the beach in the air, the feel of the sand beneath your feet and the sound of the waves magically puts you at ease. What an AWESOME choice!”

After the ceremony, the wedding party headed to the beach to take pictures.
