Hand Crafted Wedding Details

Lots of Love & Craftsmanship went into the creation of these details.

Enjoy!!

1000 hand folded origami cranes from our b.a.s.h. man power. Centerpieces with capiz shell branches | coral bush wish "tree" | message in a bottle with floating cranes...[ready to fill with sand from the island..for taking a piece of the beach home.]Buri box filled with salt water taffy favors & wrapped with coordinating theme ribbon.

Nautical Baptismal

This event happened in late April, and we actually have a few more other events that happened before this one that we still need to post pics for. But...bleh, here it is anyway! :)

The "Life is Sweet Sailing" - dessert bar was the centerpiece to our nautical baptismal. This one was for our Godson Dominic. (love you baby!!) We chose a very simple color theme and worked the 'sea life' angle into our b.a.s.h. touches!

All of the yummy desserts were made with big loves by family and friends!

We also have a beachy b.a.s.h. coming up in June...so, we may reapply these touches to that one, except girlie style..since it's for a 9yr old birthday! <--- excited for that one.

What summer b.a.s.h.es do you have lined up? Any cool ideas you want to share? I maaaaay have to borrow a few, since I know you're all so great at this event designing thing! :)

Big Thanks to Toni @ Design Dazzle for featuring our

Lemon & Lime Candy Buffet! :)

Hop on over to Design Dazzle for some fabulouso inspiration!

Let's Make That Lemon-Lime-ade

Here it is, a big serving of the lemon & lime Candy Buffet!

ENJOY!

How SWEET it is....

I was waaaaaay too excited to wait for more photos...so, here are a couple pics of the Lemon & Lime color theme candy buffet we did this weekend for a baby shower! It was a hit!

All of the goodies, except for the lemon flavored salt water taffy were custom wrapped to fit the theme. The kinds of yummies we had were:

• milkita lollis <-- the perfect size for the mini to-go boxes & tasty too!
• mini hershey bars
• apple gummies
• lemon drops
• salt water taffy
• and bubbles <--everything is better with bubbles! :)

The To-Go boxes with a paper floral accent (it's the paper confetti from the Brides line)

The tablescape! I made those paper 'daisies' with marabou in the center. I thought they'd be a fun piece to add to the color scheme. Also, if you look closely there a few mini butterflies through out the set-up. Again, whimsical and playful! :)

Tuesday Teasers: Lemons & Limes

Yup..that's right...yellow, again! No complaints here!! Lets use it while summer is here right?? It's a hot color right now!! I digg it, the peeps digg it! So, we are here to deliver the goodness! This weekend is another soiree and here's a sneaky peaky for what we're working on...

I am especially excited about this project, cause it's my first custom wrapped mini chocs! I am just going to say it...I applaud my efforts. [clapping!] i am very pleased with how they've turned out sooo far. :)

All right..I know. I know, you are begging to see more. But, just be patient...you don't want the client to see it all right now...

Sweeeeet Dreams...

OMG...way to excited to sleep. Annaliza and I knew we wanted to "bring it" (Bring it On reference, in case you didn't catch that..thank-you very much!) this afternoon at the candy buffet bar photoshoot! I mean, I'm thinking Amy Atlas would have dugg em too! We only had a couple hours and pulled it off...can't post a long blog right now...but....here's a sneek peak..

********************************************************
Here's a bashful tip: Dress up your tables with things you have around the house. For this candy buffet, we used vintage toys circa 1960's and 1970's! They provided inspiration for the kind of candy colors we wanted in our buffet. These toys were so cute faded in color, and the wood was distressed. But they definitely added a nostalgic element to the otherwise modern tablescape.

Remember that movie? Oh, man..I watched that movie ALL the time when i was a kid. And now, my 4-yr old, she likes it too! The colors, the fantasy, bright and shiny Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang! [sigh]

Anyways, in my last post did I mention how much I LOVED candy bar displays? Well, later this morning Annaliza and I are going to set-up a candy bar buffet photoshoot, and 3 things I was inspired by Toot Sweets, the Candy Land game, and Babes in Toy Land (1961).

You'll see what we've come up with when I post the pictures! For now check out these candy bar displays from the uber talented Amy Atlas! Jaw-dropping, mouth watering gorgeous, eye candy
galore!! She's the reason why..

Candy Bar Buffets are my favorite!
