Add a little bit of nostalgic fun to your wedding with these yummy lollipops from Vintage Confections. I love the idea of using them as affordable favors, and for something a little more substantial you can easily double or triple them up. Available in a number of colors and flavors, there’s more than enough options [...]
Saying that I am addicted to macarons is really just stating the obvious at this point. My jaw dropped seeing Sparkles Kitchen‘s gorgeous pastries despite the fact I should be burned out on them at this point – although that also may be impossible. Not only do all of Karen’s pastries look absolutely amazing, but [...]
I’m not going to lie: I love, love, love this idea as usable favors, particularly for a bridal shower brunch. They’re easier to make than they look, so mass producing them if necessary isn’t terribly hard. I formatted mine to be 14×14″ but the general method for making a more rectangular napkin is exactly the [...]
Remember when I asked you to nominate your favorite color card for DIY Week? Well, here’s the project inspired by the winner. These guys are so simple to put together and only require a minimal level of craft to be able to get them to look great. I went with textured paper in solid colors [...]
Since I haven’t talked favors in a little while, I scoured my favorite packaging shops for some fabulous supplies to inspire you to add some extra personality to your favors.

Their resolution-breaking sweets are absolutely mouth watering to look at, and I must confess that I’ve already had my break down [...]

How beautiful is the centerpiece above that they have available for special occasions? I would replace flowers with those stunners in a heartbeat (though [...]

Okay guys, I can’t get over how stinkin’ cute these cookies from Better Bit of Butter. A friend sent them to me knowing how much I love making and looking at pretty baked things, and I’ve got to say she hit the nail on the head when passing this one on! These fondant covered bits [...]
These treat bags are great for your guests to grab their treats with and go. They’re lined to give a little extra support to them since more fragile desserts are present as well as candy, and they’re perfectly sealed with a ribbon. • • ♥ • • What You’ll Need Our Favor Bag PDF Featuring [...]

On the blog and on Twitter, I’ve been making references to a photo shoot I did this weekend with the help of two friends – Michael Haug, a photographer who has done a lot of stunning work for Minnesota Bride, and Kirki Schultz, a stylist with great taste. We were busy bees working on a [...]
