From "Brides" a pink and black wedding theme. Love the two pinks in the flowers. Bit too much black though for my liking.

Maisie Fantaisie from the UK - how adorable!

From Crumbs and Doilies - pink and black wedding cupcakes.

From Blue Ribbon Letterpress

Kimberly Driessen draws inspiration from a wide range of decorative arts including textiles, botanical prints, china patterns, and New York City's historic ironwork. The resulting designs are rich with references to the past, yet utterly modern in their simplicity, elegance and exquisite craftsmanship. She is otivated by a life-long love of decorative pattern and ornament.
