The Sweetest Occasion

Today I couldn’t resist sharing this pretty black-eyed susan inspired bridal shower by I Am Baker featured last week on Sweet Designs.

I was revisiting some of my favorite blog pasts of months past (safely tucked away in my Google Reader starred items) when I stumbled upon this wedding at The Foundry in Long Island City that Kathryn posted on Snippet & Ink back in October of 2008.
