Sweet as Sugar Morgenhof Wedding by Leani Holmes {Storm & Daryn}

via

I've seen a lot of pretty dessert tables over the years but today's - if you'll pardon the pun - takes the cake! I just loved Storm & Daryn's 'share a cake' concept (not to mention how delish said cakes actually look), but it's also just one detail that I think encapsulates the simple sweetness of this pastel pink wedding that was cute as cupcakes and a true labour of DIY love. Every aspect, from a beautiful heirloom dress to lace-decked vases collected by the couple's circle to for months ahead of time speaks of family and friendship and the true sweetness of love. The wonderful Leani Holmes, who is a member of the SBB family, was on hand to take every dreamy picture.

Wedding Details
Daryn and I both like to be involved in planning things, so when it came to choosing themes, colours and décor, we did it all together. I am so lucky to have someone who really did take an interest in planning the big day. Yes, we fought, yes, we didn't always agree on things, but I think the bond we achieved in compromising ideas and plans with each other was the beginning step towards a happy marriage.
My favourite personalised detail of the day was walking down the aisle to the imperial march from Star Wars. Daryn is a HUGE Star Wars fan, so without him knowing, I organised for the imperial march to play just before all the girls walked down the aisle. It was brilliant, and got a laugh out of all his friends who knew how much he loves Star Wars.
I think every detail of the wedding told a little story of our day. From the homemade vases that held our flowers chosen the day before the wedding, to the lovely bouquets made by my mother and future mother-in-law the evening before the wedding, to the ceremony decorations done with zero supervision by my incredibly talented grandmother. Each table was labelled with places Daryn and I have visited together, and places we plan on visiting during our honeymoon. Every detail was created by a friend or family member and it made it that much more special to both Daryn and myself.
