Perfect Presentation!

It is no surprise how powerful the art of presentation can be.  This is even more true in the wedding world.  How you present your wedding details gives guests a glimpse into your style and sets the tone for your entire day.  We believe that every decision you make should be an opportunity to infuse style into your wedding and truly "brand" your day!  

Here are a few of our favorite pretty presentations...

This homemade Limoncello looks like something off the shelves of a gourmet  grocery 

Cake in a jar complete with a spoon...these may not last the car ride home!

Simple macaroons look lovely with the detailed packaging

We custom made these welcome packets for our bride.  They were a gorgeous presentation and kept everything neatly in place! 

Another favorite from a past bride.  Cookies look anything but ordinary with a monogram label and beautiful bow!

These "Hangover Helpers" were a huge hit at the after party!  The kit kept in theme and color and came in handy the next morning!




How are you branding your big day??

Summer Weddings: Chill Out!

As the temperatures approach triple digits today, we wanted to provide you with some tips to keep your guests cool during your outdoor summer ceremony.  When making the decision to say your "I do's" outdoors, always take into account rising temperatures and blistering sun.  Aim to not have your ceremony during the hours were the sun is the strongest and choose a spot that provides shade.  It is also a great idea to include the following:

Greet guests with a refreshing cold non alcoholic beverage

These misters will provide great scented relief

Because no one wants unprotected guests!

How amazing would chilled towels feel after a hot ceremony?!?

Stay cool today!!!

The Sweet Mini: Miniature Sweets in a Major Way!

I don’t know about you, but I just can’t seem to get enough of mini desserts! I love to incorporate bite-sized sweets into client’s event menus.  With so many different styles and tastes, the sweet mini is sure to be a palate pleaser.

Mini sweets are such a fun way for a couple to share their favorite desserts with their guests.  By offering a variety of sweets, you are giving your guests a taste of something sweet without exhausting their appetite for wedding cake. As a versatile addition to any event menu, mini desserts compliment even the grandest of cakes and work equally as well as part of a dessert bar or as passed late night dance floor sugary treats.

Enjoy the gallery below of some of my sweet mini faves! 

You can’t go wrong with The Classics.

When the party continues into the morning hours, I love the idea of 

serving up some mini breakfast goodies to your guests.

It is always fun to send your guests home 

with a little late night snack or mini breakfast!

“To go” Donuts are a supercute favor!
