Oh my goodness. This weekly sweet looks too good to be true! Y’all know of my aversion to pumpkins at fall weddings (with the exception of these and these), but I have never once said anything against pumpkin desserts! Especially if they’re these… {Pumpkin Macarons} Enjoy them at: an elegant, French vintage-style wedding in the […]

A little something darling for your Monday morning… {Lattice-Top Blueberry Pie in a Jar} Enjoy it at: a late summer afternoon wedding in a country barn, either as a delicious dessert or a homey favor. Pies have definitely taken over cupcakes as the wedding “it treat,” but even so, just like cupcakes will still never […]

I’ve only been to five weddings, […]
