• Welcome to the blog of Luxe Fête Event Planning and Design Studio. My name is Nathalie Cadet-James and I am an event planner and designer. This blog is a place where you can connect with me, check out my latest projects and designs, and hopefully be inspired to create your dream wedding or event. I love designing and planning magical events. Before channeling my creative energy into this field, I was an attorney at top law firms and clerked for a Federal Judge. It did not take long to realize I’d rather be telling stories by transforming spaces and creating beautiful atmospheres. I am fortunate to be considered an "industry innovator" and “event guru” because of my unique and fresh design approach. You can find our work featured in many of today’s premier design and bridal publications. I proudly call the Magic City of Miami my home as well as my inspiration. The Miami of today offers far more than just sun and fun. Miami is truly a world class destination, rich with history, culture, food, music and philanthropy. I am honored to serve on the Executive Committee of Friends of the New World Symphony and the Overtown Music Project. Thanks for stopping by, I'd love to hear from you! And yes, we happily travel anywhere in the world. - Nat

Wonderland: The Wedding Cake

This Alice in Wonderland inspired cake is spectacular. And yes – It is EDIBLE, a real hand-made delicious wedding cake. My heart skipped a beat when I saw it, just a perfect interpretation of what we wanted to achieve with our inspiration board: (1) The layers of the cake take their shape (or misshape) from the mad hatter’s hat, (2) The silky cloth-like draping of sugar and powder blue sky pay homage to the iconic Tim Walker image called “Wonderland”, (3) The delicately hand-painted winding pathway incorporates the natural lush setting, (4) The hand-made purple orchid sugar flowers growing from the base are so refined and exotic, (5) The whimsical hand-painted teapot and overgrown flowers add such whimsy and finesse to the creation. To top it off, Dominique and her team used crushed pearl dust to give it a sophisticated glimmer and finish. What a beautiful work of art. It’s no surprise she’s been featured on the Food Network, Grace Ormonde and other fine wedding publications. Simply divine. What does your dream wedding cake look like?
