Wedding Cake Inspiration | Best of GB Events

There are many perks when it comes to being a wedding planner, working with wonderful clients, creating with beautiful flowers, designing gorgeous events, but the icing on the cake (pun intended) is "helping" our clients taste-test for their wedding cake.

One of the prettiest, sweetest details of the wedding day, wedding cakes are usually a focal point of our event designs. We give our cakes a place of honor to be admired by guests until the time comes that they get to devour all the goodness.

We love to make the planning process fun and special for our couples, so we like to schedule your cake tasting here at our shop. With a bottle of bubbly popped, our clients get to relax and enjoy the experience while being walked through the flavors and design process by our very talented cake designer friends.

Keep scrolling to see a collection of some of our best wedding cakes from years' past. You can see some clients go for the traditional wedding cake, with either a more or organic or more ornate design. We love incorporating fresh flowers to tie in the overall wedding design and especially love when couples get creative and have multiple kinds of wedding cakes as well!

Sacred Heart Wedding, Augusta, GA | Emily + Chandler

The wedding we get to share today is special, unique, and completely reflective of the couple that entrusted us with their wedding day. We say this a lot (what can we say, we are lucky!), but Emily and Chandler are two of the sweetest, kindest, most genuine people we have ever had the pleasure of working with. They came to us last fall with a very specific vision in mind, hoping that their day would be the fairy-tale that they have been picturing for years. With subtle nods to the classic love story, Beauty and the Beast, we created a day filled with love and sweetness which is very clear in the gorgeous images that Lauren Carnes photographed below. 

The ceremony took place at Sacred Heart Cultural Center here in downtown Augusta. It is such a stunning location that fit perfectly within Emily and Chandler's vision for their day. The stained glass cast the most incredible glow in the late afternoon light. For the personal flowers, our floral design team decided on an all-red rose bridal bouquet for Emily, which perfectly coordinated with the crimson bridesmaids dresses. We kept to neutral flowers for the rest of the personal flowers, hydrangeas, roses and lisianthus to name a few. We continued this floral design theme of red and white-tones into the reception at the Legends Club as well, and included some gold candelabras and champagne linens to continue the gilded romantic evening that Emily envisioned.

It was such pleasure getting to know Emily, Chandler, and their families and an honor to be included on such a momentous day for their families! We wish the two of them many, many years of joy, love, and laughter ahead!

Springtime Wedding at Enterprise Mill, Augusta, GA | Allie + Matt

One of our favorite things EVER is when we are given the opportunity to contribute to the wedding day of very special friends. And two weeks ago we had the biggest honor when we were a part of Allie and Matt's special day. Allie has been working at our shop for years and years, therefore we jumped at the opportunity to give these two the best day ever. 

Working together with Allie and her family, we decided to stick to a color palate of periwinkle blues and white for the florals. We wanted to do something special under the gazebo, so we utilized some more contemporary containers to juxtapose with the climbing greenery to create the ultimate ceremony backdrop.  We went with grey linens and white linen hemstitch to coordinate with the gorgeous letterpress wedding invitations that Allie and her step-mom/Charleston Street invitation expert Kelly designed together here at our shop.

Since Allie has worked at the shop for so long, she entrusted the overall floral design to Greg and our floral designers. Combining lush hydrangea, roses, peonies and various wild flowers from our favorite local organic grower, the bouquets and arrangements were gorgeous, classic and perfectly undone. 

This was also the first time we have had the opportunity to work with the awesome team at Enterprise Mill! Their catering staff was such a pleasure to collaborate with and the venue itself is so unique and unlike anything else in Augusta. It was the perfect backdrop for the pretty images you see below! Speaking of which, we also loved getting to work with the talented Amy Owen again. The pretty shots she captured of the day are beyond stunning!

It was such a wonderful day that came together beautifully and we wish sweet Allie and Matt many, many years of love, health and happiness to come!
