Wedding Bliss

We just experienced another lovely family wedding this past June weekend, celebrating our nephew's marriage to his lovely bride. Weddings are such a beautiful display of love and unity. The union of two people in the first throws of love is a wonderful thing to witness. And we are always honored to take a small part in the wedding ceremonies with our unique glass wedding cake tops. Our nephew and his bride requested the sea turtle cake top below to match their wedding colors, and also  to symbolize their union. 

A unique request from our nephew and his bride for two sea turtles coming together over glass ocean waves.

For many years now, we have made cake tops for a number of brides and grooms.  A wide variety of mammals, animals and birds are very popular, as they display the sentimentality of the happy couples, saying their vows for the first time. Our frosted swans below are simplistic, yet elegant, and get the message of love across to the wedding party.

Not only do we make custom cake tops for the wedding day, but we can also make custom glass gifts for the happy couples, such as the pastel vase below. The colors can match the color schemes of the weddings, to add sentimentality years after the wedding has taken place.

A customized slumped and fused vase makes for a unique wedding gift.

Wedding Bliss is achieved when the small details are worked out long before the "I Do's" take place. We'd love to help the future brides and grooms out there check off  one of their little details with a unique, hand crafted and blown glass cake top or glass gift. Contact us if there is a wedding in your future. We can make a glass cake top as unique and detailed, or simplistic and charming as you wish. We are always happy to work on new wedding ideas created out of glass and requested by the happy couples. And we like to think of our glass cake tops as the "icing on the cake".

Our Backyard Wedding

Just last weekend we had the privilege of holding our oldest son's wedding in our backyard. In spite of inclement weather threatening all week long, when it was time for the official event, the skies parted just enough to have the perfect ceremony. Everything about this wedding turned out to be above and beyond our expectations. The Bride looked stunningly beautiful and the Groom was on cloud 9 as his father performed the wedding ceremony. The food that was prepared by many of us on both sides of the family, tasted like it could have come from a 5 star restaurant. That was thanks to countless hours spent by our Bride and Groom who went to great lengths to plan every little detail, both in the food, drink and decor. There were many moments of Wedding bliss and musical entertainment for all to enjoy.

Our son and Daughter-in-law's "Save the Date" announcement

 We don't have official pictures of this beautiful and memorable occasion yet, but it will be etched in our minds forever. We spent months preparing our yard so that it would reflect the ambiance our special couple was going for. I snapped a few shots to show how we incorporated many little touches, including some glass, around the yard. We also made some whimsical dipping plates, sauce bowls, and cheese trays out of slumped and fused glass to match their animated theme for the wedding. Below are some shots of the backyard that will show some of the looks we were going for for this memorable event. I felt it was worth sharing. Please enjoy.
