Lisa based the theme of their wedding around the anemone flower. Her centerpieces, bouquets, party favors, and invitations all included this beautiful flower.

| The wedding favors. Homemade sugar cookies with an anemone design in royal icing. These were made by Lisa's sister-in-law. |
When we talked about the design of her cake, Lisa wanted something simple. Together, we decided on a three tiered cake with just one or two anemone flowers, and gray ribbon to match the color of the bridesmaid dresses.

Lisa and Chris made their cake toppers together. They are painted Japanese kokeshi dolls. I really love the little anemone boutonniere that Chris has on his doll. They look like perfect little cartoon versions of themselves! So adorable.
The bottom tier of the cake was red velvet and the two top tiers were white cake with vanilla Swiss meringue buttercream. I also made two 1/4 sheet cakes that were cut in the kitchen of the venue.
The mini cupcakes were provided by Cat's Cupcakery. Cat has really great and unique flavors such as ube (purple yam) and calamansi (a Filipino citrus fruit) along with popular choices like red velvet and vanilla. Each one was delicious! I should know. I tried them all!
