Bedazzle your bon bons!

Welcome to a whole new look in chocolate! I recently stumbled on this website through Premier Bride of Houston and thought is was the most interesting idea. Alot of brides are looking for the next big thing. The latest trend.

Take a look at these hot hot bon bons! Glitter bon bons! They come in all different colors to match any wedding colors. They can also create a color scheme for your wedding.

I personally would consider these also for baby showers, wedding anniversary, graduations, or even birthday parties!

Caterer - Drop in VS. Full Service

Mary Henry Zeek Photography

When looking for a caterer for your wedding it's always important to find the best one that fits your budget, taste amazing, and will provide the best service available.

With that in mind, would definitely suggest rather recommend that you select a full service caterer for your next event.

Let's look at both sides:
Drop In Caterer:

• They just drop the food and leave.
• They don't have linens, chafers, or utensils available which means you would have to rent.
• You would have to rent everything from silverware, plates, chafers, linens, staffing, decorations..etc.
• They do not clean up.

Full Service Caterer:

• They provide you with staffing to serve the food, set up, clean up, and run the bar.
• They offer a larger variety of items for you to use such as linens and silverware.
• You have a on-site captain to oversee the entire event to ensure proper service.


• Cake cutting is included with most caterers.

So for about the same price or just a tad bit more you will find that hiring a full service caterer will save you from all the headaches of hiring staff, setting up, or cleaning up your own wedding. Do you really want to be throwing away trash in your gorgeous wedding dress? Or any of your guests for that matter?

So my vote of course is for the full service caterer!

Happy reading!

Facebook - A new way to RSVP

When thinking about new ways to have your guests RSVP think about Facebook! I have found several people use this tool in order to have a better way to connect with friends of family! So what better way that to connect with Facebook and create a group specifically designed just for your wedding! Most people now days are always on Facebook, Myspace, or Twitter! This is great for the technologically advanced bride!

Party favor idea!

I recently did a 50th wedding anniversary and they had the nicest and most personlized party favor. Each guest was provided a small bottle of Chardonnay with the picture of the couple on the label. What a neat idea! It is definitely something that people will cherish and take home to keep as a souvenier.
