Have you seen the newest issue of Martha Stewart Weddings yet? I am TOTALLY in love with the cover shoot and it’s twin inside the magazine!

It’s so chic – and also budget friendly!!! The favor boxes can be purchased fairly affordably and are then prettied up with a little ribbon (instruction available for the bows on Martha Stewart). Piled in layers on a cake plate, topped with a little ribbon, paper and silk flowers and voila – no need for a cake at all!

Normally – you would have to pay both for a cake and for a wedding favor for your guests. By combining the two, you save on cost and this is so gorgeous and classy, no ones going to complain.

And – if you happen to be one of those brides who doesn’t really want a cake, it’s a great alternative all around.
