Preserving Memories...Carrie + Dan 8.8.08 {Happy Anniversary!}

Happy 1st Anniversary!

Remember Carrie and Dan? They were our lucky in love 8/8/08 wonderful couple. They tied the knot during a beautiful outdoor ceremony at The Birchwood Manor in Whippany, NJ. Carrie wanted to preserve her beautiful wedding bouquet and let us handle the process with our great preservation specialist Deb.

Here's a picture of her finished product...

Isn't it beautiful?! Along with her bouquet, Carrie opted to include her Invitation, Invite flap and Cake topper in the frame. What a way to preserve all of the day's memories!

If you can't eat it or hump it, piss on it and walk away.

Candy Buffets {Black and White and Yellow Inspiration}

Who doesn't love candy?

Remember the magical feeling you would get when you walked into a candy store as a child? All those colourful and mouth-watering candies and chocolates that lined the walls and displays of the entire store? Well the magic of candy never gets old. The options are endless and the colors of the sweets can be coordinated to match any color scheme.

Leydiana and Luis (7.25.09) decided to have our "Candy Buffet" services as an addition to their dessert table and as a take-away treat for their guests at the end of the evening.

We created the sweet and tempting visual feast in their wedding colors;

Black, White, Yellow and Silver.

We used a variety of different sized and shaped martini, champagne, wine and margarita glasses to give it a bar-twist, which complimented their love for martinis and everything drinks!

Thanks to our friend Josh Lynn for the great photos...with my Nikon =)

Lovely Finds for Ceremony: Pew Cards!

What a great find!

Pew cards are the perfect accessory to include in your wedding invitations and make sure your loved ones get front row seats at your ceremony while you exchange vows.

Send these "bride's side and groom's side" pew cards to your closest family members in their invitations. Write a note on the back with instructions to bring the pew card to the ceremony and hand it to an usher.

What an easy and sneaky way to get VIP seating at a ceremony!

You can make these yourself with an adjustable circular cutter, some cardstock, stencils, brushes and paint!

Retail Therapy!

Retail Therapy is the cure all!

Yesterday was an eventful day with sun-bathing by the pool, then the beach and talk about making the most out of my trip...I went to the fantabulous Jersey Premiun Outlet, it just so happens that I live 15 minutes away...that may be screaming DANGERRR! I've been very good lately but I definitely had a weak moment yesterday.

Last night I looked like the girl pictured above! LOL

Now today is back to the GRIND...
