Let’s talk candy! For this table, we opted to go with more modern glassware over apothecary jars. These guys are actually three different sized hurricane jars in the same style that were picked up from Michael’s. To add more visual interest and to help tie the table together more, we picked up a couple silver [...]

Do It Yourself Project: Marshmallow Pops
Monday, October 26, 2009
Marshmallow pops are another incredibly simple way to surprise and delight your guests. They don’t take a terribly long time to make, and there’s not a lot of skill involved. We made these covered in Bake It Pretty’s Non-Pareils but did a test run in their white pearlized sprinkles and they were absolutely stunning! • [...]

Do It Yourself Project: Winter Wonderland Cupcakes
Monday, October 26, 2009
We’ve designed two cupcake styles for you, and they’re easier to replicate than they look! Don’t be intimidated by the fondant. If you can roll out dough, you can make this work. There’s no need cupcakes from scratch – I’m definitely a proponent of “semi-homemade” treats on any dessert buffet because it will save you [...]
Do It Yourself Project: Winter Wonderland Dessert Buffet Centerpiece
Monday, October 26, 2009
In this post, we’ll take on the centerpiece. It’s incredibly easy and quick to make, and looks lovely when it’s done. We liked the container we chose because it had great height, which let it be seen above the candy and gave another scale shift on the table. That’s something you’ll want to consider when [...]

Week in Review: October 23, 2009
Friday, October 23, 2009
It’s impossible not to love the color and creativity of the paper fan initial cap from this wedding on Once Wed; a beautiful do it yourself award ribbon that might be a little impractical for larger weddings (but would be a real show stopper if you have the time!) by Brittni of papernstitch for 100 [...]
Wedding 101: Making It Work on a Budget Cut
Friday, October 23, 2009
This article started when I responded to a message on Twitter about why bloggers seem to only feature expensive weddings, or DIY backyard events. As I said there, sometimes it’s really hard to judge exactly how expensive a wedding was by looking at photos rather than the raw numbers. My wedding looked expensive, but while [...]
