Yesterday was my son's 9th birthday and it seems like I have done nothing but bake birthday cakes for last week! It's a been a week of celebrations and there have been no less than five birthday cakes for various family, friends, school etc! Non-stop cake making... and eating too!
Whilst busy baking though I started thinking about musical themed wedding cakes and so had a good scout around for some images to inspire you for wedding cakes with a musical theme.
So whether you're searching for cute cupcakes like these...
...or a sophisticated yet more simplistic cake like this...
I've found a few ideas for you to enjoy. It's easy to keep your music theme running through every detail of the wedding.
Yes, it's true. I'm in Love! Of course, I love my other half very much, but this week I'm particularly in love with all the wonderful music themed wedding finds.
This blog is a fantastic opportunity to showcase fabulous musicians and promote their work and bring you inspiration of sounds, but I've also discovered a much bigger world of wonderful musical themed wedding ideas!
My particular love today is these wedding invitations, from a picture I found on Pinterest.
Don't you just think they're adorable? I think they're so fantastic I've decided I'm going to start trying to make some of these fabulous ideas, I mean, it's not like there's a shortage of sheet music in our house from vintage, to the brand new music composed by my wonderful partner, Simon, every day!
In fact, How fabulous would it be to have your own special music composed or arranged for your wedding day, printed out to create the invitations and then performed on the wedding day itself. Well, that's an idea - I'll be launching that one and you lovely readers heard it here first! I'm loving all this wedding music fever, puts a smile on my face every day!
Having found the above picture obviously I had to look for some more and so here they are:
Simple, clever and adding a beautiful musical touch, there are a variety of ideas available.
But one of my favourites is this! Little, perfect musical packages!
I love Vintage! I mean, who doesn't really? A reflection of the past all wrapped up in modern day chic. A nod to the heroes of Wartime or a hint of the old school done completely with finesse, glamour and so much love. Vintage seems to be all the current rage for weddings, with vintage detail from dresses to flowers, tea cups to bunting. I love it! But what about the music, I hear you say? (Yes, I can hear you learning that in my blog it's all about the music!)
Well, I have an amazing treat for you today as I feature the first of many amazing musicians and acts on offer to you. All of the musicians I am going to feature in forthcoming blogs are fine professional and amateur musicians that I would have no hesitation in supplying and have, actually supplied to our list of amazing clients from couples to corporate.
So, with a nod to the Vintage style, today's featured group is an amazing trio of singers called The Haywood Sisters. They look beautiful to start with, the epitome of Vintage glamour and style and the sounds they produce with sweet sounds and close harmonies are so easy on the ear you can't help but stop and listen.
Singing songs from the 1920s, through the Wartime years and in to the 1960s they offer a huge repertoire of songs that could fit so many themed weddings and events and they add the perfect sparkle wherever they go. Be it the ceremony, wedding breakfast, or the evening reception (or any corporate or other function you can think of), one of the best things is the ladies work with you to create your perfect set-list for you and your guests, and I've said before, it's so important to have the music YOU love.
Working with other musician colleagues, the ladies can even bring along a fantastic big band, which is surely the perfect musical climax to any Vintage themed wedding day? They are all self-sufficient too, down to earth and always ready to assist and perform, just give them a plug socket for their own PA equipment and they'll give you a musical experience you'll not forget.
Have a listen right now via this You Tube video:
Last night was a big event for the ladies as their new website went live, and even the website offers a fantastic feel of Vintage style and chic with that expected glamour and sparkle. See what I mean? http://www.thehaywoodsisters.com/wp/
Fancy booking The Haywood Sisters for your wonderful Vintage themed event, then you can contact me directly or the ladies themselves and just mention that you heard about them here.
Love Vintage? Then you'll love The Haywood Sister.
