Chocolate Croquembouche - French Wedding Cake

wedding vintage postcards

The baker is balking at the idea of making a chocolate aka untraditional Croquembouche wedding cake! The individul puff pastries are usually filled with cream and then fused together with caramel. I want this pièce montée to be dripping with yummy dark chocolate and filled with chocolate cream :) We have a year to convince him! You really have to bribe and butter up the French to do anything out of the ordinary:)

Vicky's Vintage Wedding Shoes

vintage wedding save the date postcards
Queen Victoria wore these minuscule mules on her wedding day in 1840.



She wore a size 3! The woman whose name defines an age was only 5 feet tall and wore no nonsense shoes. Those leather soles are as flat as a flounder. This Queen certainly wasn't a 'heel'.



These practical ribbon trimmed slippers were made by Gundry and Sons in London. This is the insole of the shoe. Was it covered by an odor eater on Victoria's big day?

Napoleon was informed that Fortuné, Josephine's little pug dog, would be sharing their marital bed. The little pup had always slept with her and she felt that there was no reason for that to change! Fortuné, then proceeded to bite Nappy's shin! The little tail wagger didn't feel like sharing his Josephine!

My French Vintage Wedding

vintage postcards

Helppppp! I need advice! I don't want a foofy huge wedding dress. I found this one online but am not sure if it has enough razzmatazz! It is certainly elegant yet retains a perky, spring - in - your - step charm. What do you think? Should I order this one?

Black Wedding Dress in Bresse, France

vintage postcards

These are traditional wedding costumes from the Bresse region of France:) I'm not sure if this is the bridal look that I want. Black might not be my colour. We've got a prepared groom on the scene! Did you notice his umbrella? He probably has a swiss army knife in his pocket too.
