One of my favorite weddings of the year thus far has been JJ and Jeanette’s wedding at Rancho Las Lomas. Inspired by sangria, Jeanette wanted a rich, gorgeous event, with touches of vintage charm and lots of papel picado. I cannot wait to share the professional photos by Tara Leigh, which I know will be incredible, but, in the mean time, the lovely Melody of Sweet and Saucy Shop sent over some great photos she snapped that day and I had to share them!

Melody created not one- but 7!- delicious and beautiful cakes. They were set on a wood table under a gorgeous bougainvillea arch that Carissa of JL Designs designed.

For the main cake, Melody mimicked the papel picado design from the couple’s invitation and paper goods and created an incredible fuchsia sugar flower:

In addition to the main wedding cake, Jeanette wanted a variety of smaller rustic style cakes in different flavors. For each of these, I crafted mini banners inspired by the papel picado we used in the decor. I loved how they turned out, especially next to the peonies that Carissa placed.

Melody also got some great shots of the table decor, so I can give you a sneak peak of the papel picado runners, lush arrangements in cut crystal glasses and wood boxes, vintage books, fruit and colored wine glasses.

I cannot wait to show you the full wedding- it was full of details and not only are JJ & Jeanette gorgeous, but they are one of the sweetest couples ever!

Thanks Melody for the photos!
