Decor: Flowers are beautiful, but for a truly personalized touch try a painted banner or aisle runner - in fact, you personalize anything with stamps!
Cake: Most wedding cakes are already handmade - now image topping it with an adoralbe papier mache couple, sophisticated ribbon, or a pair of cute mice. Sweet!
