Chocolate Menu Bars
For the Chocolate Lover in You....
Okay, I stand corrected. This is by far the coolest idea (so far) to date. What a great way to combine your menu cards and favors in one. Who would have thought. chocolate menu bars? These made of milk or dark Belgian chocolate, and available in several sizes to suit your budget, are produced by Totally Chocolate, a catalog based company. Customization not includes your menu details but can also be garnished with a custom monogram of logo.
As well as standard packaging options. It's "totally" & completely up to you.
Note: In presenting these to your guests, I would consider that you forgo the packaging and display (as in the beginning photo) on each plate or place setting. This will definitely have an impact on the "Wow" setting. Cheers!

Finding Your Aisle Style
Flowers, and Candles, and Runners! Oh My!
We've come a long way from the days of just tulle and flowers. Our industry has become more inventive and robust in the areas of aisle decor. I love the aisle decor featured above for the warm and romantic ambiance it creates.
In finding the style for your aisle decor for your ceremony is contingent on a few things:
1. Your Budget
2. Your Vision
3. The Venue.
(And of course)
4. Your Designer
You should never let anything dictate how creative you can get even if you chose to splurge on the Photographer or the entertainment instead of your ceremony details.
Stay tuned as we bring you more ideas in finding the perfect Aisle Style for you!
Happy Planning!

Silk Ring Pilllows
So out with the old and in with the new!
Well the concept and the role will no doubt be the same, but the style...? Altogether, different! These beauties are a must have keepsake. Seeds of The White Aisle company, each are Khmer (Cambodian) silk and handmade by young women who are looking to get their lives back on track by becoming productive members of their community. They each obtain vocational training and earn a salary buy making and reaping off the proceeds of the pillows. With a background in Vocational Services, this initiative hits true to my heart.
Each cover is 8" square and comes with a pillow insert. You can adorn with your own heirloom or a coordinating silk flower. Now these will be cherished for years to come, and your ring bearer won't mind so much to carry this stylish pillow.
So if you like then you should... put a ring on it!

Lahoma's Keepsake
I had the pleasure of assisting Lahoma plan her nuptials to Alonzo and their celebration there after. They were married on August 28, 2009 at the Coral House in Baldwin, NY. Lahoma choose lemon and pewter as her color palette.
I think what I will cherish most is the time spent in the process and the end result of creating these beautiful Custom Keepsake CD Covers as her guest favors. Stay tuned as more details from this beautiful wedding as professional pictures will follow.
Happy Planning!
