OH HOW I DIG DESSERT BARS!!

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

Recently, our caterer suggested serving Earth Cafe mini cheesecakes as the dessert for our reception. Believe it or not, I hadn’t even thought of it!! Our desserts are similar to ice-cream cakes, in that they need to be refrigerated to keep their shape over long periods of time (they’re vegan, raw, & I hadn’t thought of them as wedding desserts). Also, I’ve fallen in love with so many traditional wedding cakes I’ve seen & sort of figured them an obligatory part of wedding decor. Well, move over traditional! What about the absolutely irresistible concept of having a dessert bar!? Now that I’ve been turned on to this theme, I may have to adopt a new obsession! I think mini-Earth Cafe cheesecakes, surrounded by other colorful vegan treats will be hot like wow, enough to make even the most SKEPTICAL carnivore sing. Whaddya think!?:

WEDDING DECOR I DON’T ABHOR…

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

So many decisions. Flowers, colors, themes, favors, place cards, menus, invitations, aisle runners, lighting, centerpieces… just to name a few! “Turquoise-y” blue has been my favorite color for quite some time. So, as to have at least somewhat of a starting point, let’s consider decor for “the blue (Tiffany/turquoise/aqua blue) & brown dream wedding”. Hopefully this post will provide some inspiration for divas looking for a fab color-combo, while I try to figure out what sticks for us, as well. :

This could double as a sexy reception dress for the blue-themed wedding. Hmmm, I think I'm feeling the spark of an idea...

But just for the bride…

This is actually THE type of dress I originally wanted, but then I saw a picture of the ONE. Anyway, I think a big obnoxious sash is so captivating on a wedding dress

Even a fantastic brown & blue look for the groom…

The only question that remains: how oh how to coordinate FLOWERS with a blue & brown wedding theme?

UP NEXT: Perhaps an answer?? :) Hugs to all, C.
