I wanted to take a quick moment to mention one of my favorite elements in our bridal suite inspiration shoot – the world’s cutest mini cupcake stands. These cupcake stands came to me unexpectedly one day, an incredibly thoughtful birthday gift from Katie at Chélle Paperie that arrived on my doorstep in the midst of a very rough period for me earlier this spring. The note read simply, “Happy Birthday, Cyd! For your love of cupcakes and sweet occasions! xo, Katie”
I love them (and the sweet sentiment behind them) so much that I wrapped them all individually and stuffed them in my suitcase to bring to New York with me, fingers crossed they wouldn’t break in transit. Luckily for me, they made it there and home safe and sound. Luckily for you, you can get your very own cupcake stands at Farmhouse Wares.
Thank you so so much, Katie. This is hands down one of the sweetest gifts I’ve ever been lucky enough to receive. To everyone else – never underestimate the power of a simple gesture, an expected note, a few sweet words to bring someone incredible happiness in the midst of a very dark day.
