Wedding cake in 1:6 scale with Pink Roses

This is another tiered stacked 1:6 scale wedding cake I created only this time with two single pink roses, with leaves. The white wedding cake had more roses. I have wanted to do more complicated wedding cakes, am still looking for the supplies or ornaments like the wedding cake toppers or experimenting on creating my own to do those. 

 

1:6 scale White Wedding Cake

I recently created this three tiered stacked White wedding cake in 1:6 scale, with white roses and leaves. For a quick creation, it turned out fairly well. 

                                                                         
 

Bridal Cakes...

What would a wedding be like without a fabulous cake? These are some wedding cakes I made in 1:6 scale... Poppy Parker, the wedding planner, has coordinated a fabulous baker for her friend Barbie...

Enjoy! More on these cakes in another post! 

 

Bridal photos continued ...

Gene Marshall and Trent- I Do..

These photos of Gene and Trent in wedding attire are from the archives--I used a wedding gown from a damaged porcelain doll and tried it on Stardust Gene and it created the effect I wanted. I have always wanted to do a wedding party for my Gene dolls, with a teen-age doll like a Marley Wentworth as a bridesmaid, and some Madame Alexander Wendy dolls as Flower Girls and a ring bearer. Once I get my doll room moved and my 1:4 scale dollhouse set up for my Gene and Tonner dolls, I may just stage a wedding party in the 1:4 scale mansion I am planning, complete with wedding in progress in the parlor, reception, food, kitchen staff, maids, etc. There will be alot of sewing and doll collecting to do! LOL. And food crafting! I have so much large scale Bespaq and I have always wanted a large scale dollhouse to display it all, but there is no room in my current dollroom. Hoping to change that in the upcoming year or so. 

Enjoy the photos, more to come in the month of June, celebrating brides. 
 

Vanessa Loves June Weddings... World Doll Day!

Today's celebration of brides is an old one from the archives of Vanessa with my own bridal tiara, leaning up against a Bespaq chair with roses in her bouquet and on her dress, for a dreamy photo moment. I remember this is when I really began to experiment with props and larger items with dolls to create 'moments' and make my photography with fashion dolls 'pop' after reading a book by Pat Henry on lighting, fixtures, exposure on cameras, etc. Now I let my camera phone do everything, lol. 

Today is World Doll Day, so share pics of your dolls and have fun. 

 

Becky and Malibu Franci in vintage wedding gowns

I have already shown Malibu Francie in Wedding Whirl, but I did a scene with reproduction Becky in a clone? White Wedding dress from 1972-1973 . I cannot find anything in the Barbie reference books, but plenty on Google Lens and Etsy and Ebay. It is referred to as 'White Wedding 1972 or 1973" and sometimes as a clone dress. It does not have a Mattel tag in it, but looks suspiciously like a Mattel dress. I tried it on Becky who is smaller than Barbie and it fit her, I am going to try it in another photo and see it on my vintage Barbie or PJ and see if looks a little more fillled out, since Becky is more of a teenager than Barbie. 

 

Barbie and Ken Reproduction Wedding Set

This is one of my favorite repro sets that I have of Barbie and Ken in the wedding gown and tuxedo- my aunt had this wedding gown and I loved playing with it when I was small. I picked my set up over ten years ago? , I can't remember, now, in Tuesday Morning, of course, for about $28 dollars. I really miss that store. 

 

 

Poppy Parker as a bride....

These are all images from my archives, of Poppy Parker wearing a repro Barbie wedding gown. I am working on more wedding photos soon. Enjoy!

 

Malibu Francie wearing Wedding Whirl #1233 Japan

For a little different spin, here is Malibu Francie wearing Wedding Whirl #1233 Japan. This is an adorable little dress that I purchased in a large Barbie doll case lot with two cases, dolls and clothing and kept a lot of little gems and sold some. I am still several years later after that auction, still sorting through this lot of doll clothing items and researching them and learning about them. Google lens is my friend and so is the camera upload feature on Ebay. I have not found the accessories in this lot such as the veil or bouquet or the shoes, but those can be completed on Ebay or at doll shows. The table is Bespaq and I created the wedding cake.

 

Barbie Royal Wedding Collector Giftset- Celebrating June- Month of Weddings

Celebrating June - Month of Weddings- Barbie Royal Wedding Collector Giftset- Duke & Duchess of Cambridge bridal giftset. Prince William/ Kate Middleton dolls 

I had older photos but thought I would take some new. I had duplicate dolls of this giftset , where I had put Kate's head on a fashion royalty body a few years ago, but alas, had to sell those two from my collection when I was in need of funds. I truly regret selling them now, as I would love to have my nude Prince William and Princess Kate back to do dioramas with- she has some stunning fashions lately since the coronation - also since they have been elevated to Prince and Princess of Wales! 

Enjoy the month of June as we continue our Weddings and bridal attire celebrations!
