MSW Spring sneak peek

OK, so I’m not totally a pink person, but I do make an exception for the cherry blossoms at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.  When I got my issue of the latest Martha Stewart Weddings (arriving on stands Monday!), I caught my breath a little after opening this spread, with florals by Matthew Robbins.  Check out the full gallery here, and if you ever have a chance, go to BBG in April when the blossoms are fully bloomed and sit under the trees, its amazing!  [secret tip: if you shake the tree a little, it will be like its raining pink petals!]

MSW sneak peak

How gorgeous is this cake from Mark Joseph Cakes for the latest issue of Martha Stewart Weddings?  I can see it in so many colors with the white rings, its so perfectly modern.  The magazine isn’t even out now, so consider this little sneak peak a gift from the crew at MSW.
