DIY Favors: Paper Cake Slice

We saw this posted on the How About Orange blog and loved this idea as a DIY project for wedding favors.  The paper cake slice is so adorable and perfect to fill with whatever candy or favor you want!  It is a great unique detail to add to any wedding.  You can even use different color paper to make different "flavored" cakes! 

Find the simple instructions at Paper Source Blog.

Alternative Headpieces

We are loving all the new trends in wedding headpieces!  Steering away from the classic tiara or real flowers, there are some very unique new fashions that may fit perfectly to your style.  From a bold, sassy, and vintage look with the birdcage vail, to a sweet, delicate, and whimsical look with a feathered headpiece, we love them all!  Which is your favorite?

The Birdcage Vail

The Silk Flower

The Feathered Headpiece

The Headband

All of these fabulous handmade creations can be found at Etsy.

Entertaining Tips: Food

Rule

Something easy, cheap and delicious your guests will go bonkers over.



Chicken Salad Cups



Buy Frozen Filo cups, and bake according to the package (8-10 minutes, I think) - let cool and fill with your favorite chicken salad, make the chicken the day before, or buy it pre-packaged.



Fill the cups about 10-20 minutes before your first guest is set to arrive.



Then sprinkle with your favorite fresh herb if you have some on hand, if not dried parsley will do just fine.

Deanna and Adam's Wedding!

Deanna and Adam's Keystone Heights wedding was so elegant, romantical and fun!  We started with the ceremony at Community Church, then headed over to the Keystone Women's Club for the reception to enjoy some fabulous food by Omi.  The day went so smoothly, even the thunderstorms cooperated!  Powers Photography got some really beautiful and classic shots of the day. 

How hot is this last picture of the night that Powers captured? Love.

Friday Funday!

You need to be able to fit a little bit of fun in, no matter what you are doing. And during a wedding while we were prepping the music, I grabbed a microphone rose and starting singing....

The question is, what was I singing. If you guess it right, you win a prize!

Leave your guess in the comments section.



Oh, and yes, I sing with my eyes closed....



Thanks to Power's Photography for sneaking these hysterical images.

Jennifer and Jason's Inspiration Board

Jennifer and Jason's wedding is going to be a classic evening to remember.  The royal blue and ivory color palette provides the perfect feel of simple elegance.  How beautiful is this board that Courtney in our office put together for them?

Entertaining Tips: Food

Rule

Make sure you have enough food. Sounds easy right, but for some reason my Grandmother always over made food, and my other family members never had enough.



So how do you plan accordingly?



First what time is your party, if it's prime meal time you'll need to plan for more food, if it's inbetween meal times, a bit less.



On average plan on 5 pieces of food per person, per hour. For a cocktail party... if you are serving stuffed dates, assume people will either love or hate them, so maybe 3 per person.



Know your audience, is it a dessert reception or a full on dinner party... all of those things will make a difference.



First and foremost, always have food available when your guests arrive... pretzels, veggies, roasted potato's something.

April and James's Inspiration Board

We are so excited for April and James's wedding this September!  We are loving the pinks, purples, and greens together to create a bright, fun, and elegant wedding!

Joanne and Jay's Inspiration Board

Joanne and Jay's beach wedding is going to be absolutely gorgeous with the sunshine yellows and touches of navy.  We figured with all of this dreadful weather lately, what better than a bright super fun wedding to cheer you up?

Nautical Inspiration

We think that this nautical themed inspiration board that Courtney in our office made is super fun.  All of the tiny details are just perfect!
