Kaley Cuoco's Wedding
For her New Year's Eve nuptials, actress Kaley Cuoco had an upside-down wedding cake created by Kimberly Bailey of the Butter End Cakery in Los Angeles. During the wedding, Cuoco posted a photo of the cake to her Twitter and Instagram accounts, and “our traffic went insane,” said Sara Beveridge, director of operations at the Butter End. “We have 3,000 new Instagram followers ... and 2,000 new Facebook fans.”

A shoot at a modern oceanside venue featured escort cards displayed under a deer head sculpture growing out of a wall of roses. “Escort cards are the perfect place for some playfulness," writes Dowling Coppola. "We cut out the shape of antlers into a few of our escort cards—an homage to the enormous installation of rose petals surrounding our faux deer head—which was the centerpiece to our escort card display. A simple backdrop can elevate your design to an entirely different level of art.”
