The Cupcake Tower

I really think cupcake towers are beautiful. They seem to take us back to our childhood and their most goodness brings smiles to all who enjoy. Here are some of my favorite pictures:






I love this pink goodness cupcake tower. Photo by Tamara Lackey.

This cupcake tower picture was taken by me at C & B's fabulous wedding.

Love the bling on this tower. Photo taken by HyStudio.

I love how the save the date monogram is carried over into the design of the cupcakes. Butterfly Cakes.

I love the simplicity of these ones. Teacake Bake Shop.

One way to dress up your cupcakes is with custom designed flags with the bride and grooms name and wedding date.

Centerpiece of the Week

I don't know who the photographer is for this picture but I love the height, color and shape. Remember, when picking out your centerpieces if they are high make sure people can "see through them" as you don't want anyone's view obstructed.

I love this felt tableware. These place mats would look great at a wedding. This pattern comes in white and black.

This cork guestbook is unique and interesting.

These vintage rhinestone placecard holders are perfect for the diva in you.

A Letter to our Website

Dear Old Website,

It seems like only yesterday when you first went live.

You have been there for us through the good and the better......

• When we weren't getting married until July and our first client's wedding wasn't until July


• When we didn't have a lot of content or clients
  

You always looked sharp, modern and unique and we so appreciate you.

But now its time for new pictures, galleries, a little praise and a fancy fill-in contact page. We really aren't getting rid of you, just an upgrade of sorts. Think of it as a brand new outfit.

So from the bottom of our hearts we thank you for helping us bring in and attract new clients and for always being reliable. We look forward to working with you in 08!

Love your loyal and dedicated partners,

Lisa & Ricardo

I love the modern lines and who can resist green with brown/black. Really simple but very elegant. Also looks somewhat easy to DIY.

The Shoes: Bride and Groom

It's really all about the shoes. I remember when I first starting playing lacrosse the thought of my first pair of soccer cleats was so exciting. It is always fun to see what the bride and groom choose to wear even if most guests won't get to see. Here are some of my favorites:

Love the shades of brown. Perspecta Photography.

I love a good candy bar. And I love these pedestal candy jars!

I got "The Bridal Party" for my girls as one of their gifts. The scents are so fun.

This engraved tray from Pottery Barn is very cool and on sale.

I love the idea of having your caterer serve these sugar hearts with coffee or tea.

Or sugar sticks would be fun too!

Elum has great letterpress tags that you could use on favors. They come in all different colors and patterns.

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

Now it's the girls turn! Funny how the guys seem so cool and collected. We simply look giddy and euphoric. Just remember to have some fun with your girls!!
