If we had to choose one word to describe this modern camp themed wedding cake design, it would be EPIC.

As if Peter and Braulio’s New York City wedding wasn’t enough to make us ooh-and-ahh, their 1920s-inspired affair included a monogrammed Art Deco cake design that was utterly jaw-dropping. The same monogram was also seen throughout the day on their decor including their stationery and favors. This one truly offers a pretty slice of inspiration!
