Perfectly Presented: Cake Table

Good morning darlings! How are you this fine Wednesday morning? Well, I hope.

Goodness, it has been a while since I have done a 'Perfectly Presented' post.  However, I cannot tell you how over the moon I am about this cake table presentation...

It is just perfection, no?  Well you know how I feel about the vintage industrial sized wooden spool...AH.MAZ.ING in case you didn't...but the burlap is fabulous too.  I love how it's wrapped around the middle of the spool.  Plus the burlap on top with the ruffle, and the burlap covered potted plants, the two arrangements in vases, and the flowers on the top are all just so perfecly pretty to me.  And just so you know, I am dying to add one of these to Over The Moon Vintage Rentals collection!

Don't you love it when you run across an image that makes you catch your breath?  This one did just that for me ;-)  Hopefully it did it for you too!

Perfectly Presented: Mojito Bar

Yowza!  Anyone else besides me ready for a mojito this afternoon?  Yes, oh fabulous!  What flavor would you like...

Hmmm...I think I am going to go with the guava.  Oh yes, a little umbrella in it would be lovely...thank you!

Eeks!  Thought I would have a little fun with this one ;-) 

But kidding aside - I LOVE the Mojito Bar sign!  And the flavors below are so fabulous, no?  Now this is what I call perfectly presented all right.  Speaking of perfectly presented...I am adoring the crate full of limes, the glasses all lined up, the potted herb, and the white umbrellas - such a simple setup but it does make a lovely statement, doesn't it? 

Okay, so now I am going to need to find me a mojito.  Cheers!

Perfectly Presented: Invitations

I can't even begin to tell you how much I would love to receive this in the mail...

A wooden box, addressed to me with a gorgeous invitation inside would not only have me doing the 'kangaroo hop', but would have me grabbing my calendar to pencil, no make that pen, in the date!  As this would be one wedding I would not want to miss.  Perfectly presented?  Absolutely.

P.S. - And while this invitation suite is super duper elegant, you can easily use this same idea for a variety of types of weddings by changing the invitation style.  Oh and the ribbon on the outside too of course - would be darling with burlap for a rustic theme, linen for a beach theme, leather for a boho theme, gingham for a garden theme, oh you get the picture ;-)

Perfectly Presented: Favors

Sometimes brown paper kraft bags, white ribbon and pretty calligraphy are all that is needed to present your favors perfectly!  Doesn't sound THAT gorgeous, does it?  Well have a look-see at this...

Simply gorgeous, no?  And if you are wondering what 'Gateau' means it is a rich or fancy cake.  Yet, not only are the favors perfectly present, but the cookies as well...

Eeks - I love the simplicity of this! I adore the white and clear cake plates too!  The whole palette is so crisp, clean and inviting.  Plus, I can't help but mention these are my all time favorite cookies...as long as they are snickerdoodles...which I am pretty sure they are...but please let me know if I am wrong.  Anyhow, whether in or out of favor bags, both are perfectly presented in my book.

P.S. - A special, long but special, post is coming up before noon!  So be sure to check back for it...as it's filled with lots of goodness!

Perfectly Presented: Jam Favors

You all know how I am about details!  Well I feel the same way about presentation as well.  Really presentation in and of itself is a detail is it not?  Sometimes simple is best.  And to me, these small jars of jam favors are perfectly presented...

I adore the brown craft paper tops with the stamp, all tied with a simple knotted piece of twine makes for a perfect, rustic presentation.

Perfectly Presented: CD Favors

I can't tell you how much I am loving this!  Such a sweet, and fairly simple way to display favors, don't you think?  The CD's wrapped in doiles, the branches and blooms and the shabby chic box  all add up to a perfect presentation in my view.

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend.  See you back here on Sunday for a little sweetness!
