Reception: Custom Cake Stands

Over the past few years I have started collecting plates and glasses for every occasion.  Lately when ever Tim and I are out of town I always come home with a new set of something. My latest finds,  a crab shaped aluminum serving piece from our weekend in Provincetown, and before that a set of 4 [...]

Tips : Weddings in Newport

Over the weekend Tim and I snuck down to Newport, RI for a little R&R, a few mansion tours, and some yummy lobsters. While strolling though the Vanderbilts Breakers on Saturday we were lucky enough to see them setting up for a wedding that evening. I couldn’t help but peek into the tent and check out the [...]

Wedding Colors: How to choose

Weddings are all about color right now. And I love it! It’s everywhere and it’s so much more than just the accent, that color was years ago. When choosing your color palette be sure to consider location and the season. Be aware of things that you can and can’t decorate inside your reception space. The [...]

Favors: French Macarons

French Macarons are the perfect bite size treat and can be created in so many beautiful colors - I think that’s why they are often featured in Martha Stewart Weddings Magazine and make a perfect wedding favor!

In their welcome tote the couple included a sweet letter thanking their guests for joining them for during the wedding weekend. The note [...]

Catering : Exclusive Chefs

In my dealings with numerous brides to be, it seems many are sadly resolved to the fact that their wedding cuisine is not going to be of high quality and taste. I have been told that they are  simply going to concentrate on location alone, as good wedding food is a myth. I am here [...]

Cake : Cupcakes

As I have previously mentioned I love the idea of serving cupcakes in lieu of a wedding cake. I love this for a couple of reasons 1. they are just  so cute 2. it’s easy to have a mix of flavors (ie: the brides favorite flavor & the grooms favorite flavor)  3. who doesn’t love [...]
