Beautiful Alternatives to Traditional Wedding Altars


Take a look at some of these creative alternatives that people used instead of a traditional altar for their wedding ceremony. Cap Classique did an amazing round-up that is seriously worth looking at for ideas, especially if you are having an outdoor wedding. The one above is from 100 Layer Cake and was for a Literary Garden Wedding.

I love the last one, from Cap Classique themselves, in which they created their own chandelier-like backdrop from what looks like pieces of fabric. Incredible!

 
All the best,

A Feast of Wedding Cupcakes

Hold me back! These wedding cupcakes looks so incredibly yummy that I'd want to try each one if I was a guest at that wedding. The browns and pinks are a beautiful color combination too, and the designs on the cupcakes really liven up that traditional color scheme.

As Marie Antoinette said, "let them eat cupcakes!"  Okay, so I took a little literary license on that one.
