Pairing this neutral color with a splash of raspberry brings it to life; adding a cheerful, lighthearted, whimsical feel. I also love the addition of blush because every wedding needs a bit of romance, right? I suppose you could also go "Very … [Read more...]
Camp Themed Weddings
Yes, camping. Well, more like Glamping. This wedding theme idea may not sound very glamorous to you, but just imagine your friends and family at a 5 star camping ground with enchanting and urtra-luxe tents and dolled up cabins; all sitting around a camp fire after the ceremony. I might be a little partial to this idea because my husband and I met at a summer camp about 15 million years ago. I'm … [Read more...]

What Does your Ring Warranty Actually Cover?
If you lose your wedding ring and/or engagement ring, chances are, you may not be covered. The majority of jeweler’s warranties only cover the basics; chipping, cracking and loss of the diamond from the mounting (as long as you have your rings inspected every six months).

Cake Cups
Quite impressive. I adore the idea of these little cake cups! Although these are made hallow allowing you to fill with whipped cream, pudding, or other fillings, an easier alternative would be to make them solid and simply top them with whipped cream to resemble a mini coffee cup. Perhaps a coffee flavored cake? These would be fun for a girl's luncheon or bridal shower. For instructions, visit … [Read more...]

An itty bitty milkshake serving in a sprinkle rimmed glass! Mini milkshake shooters are absolutely adorable. Although this recipe is alcohol free, I don't see why you couldn't spike it with a little bit of Bailey's Irish Cream for the grown ups.
