In the Spotlight: KC Weddings - Francisco + Rahmeier

One of the highlights of our 2010 wedding season was working on the Francisco-Rahmeier wedding. This event required extensive coordination and almost our entire team was present the day of the wedding to make sure it was executed flawlessly. We were so excited to have this wedding featured in KC Weddings so that we can share this gorgeous event with all of Kansas City! The pictures, featuring the photography of Adrienne Maples, speak for themselves, but be sure to pick up a copy of the magazine to read the full article.

In the Spotlight: KC Weddings - Cakes

We were so excited to see that the latest issue of KC Weddings features a few Simple Elegance brides. The wedding of Melissa and Casey from this past October was featured as one of the "Real Weddings". Look for that post next week (or go out and grab a copy of KC Weddings to read the full article!) This week though we are sharing the cakes of two of our brides. The article highlighted the work of some of Kansas City's best wedding bakers. Below you'll see the cake by Rebekah Foster created for the wedding of Simple Elegance bride Erin as well as cupcakes by Bloom Baking Co. designed for our bride Caitlin. We are lucky to get to work with such talented vendors!
