The Wedding Salon

I just had to check out The Wedding Salon in Miami this past week, so Martine and I took a quick lil drive over to Miami (and by quick I mean 3 hrs each way and rush hour traffic in MIAMI!!!ugh)
I had never been to The Biltomore Hotel, what an amazing location, I felt as if I were somewhere tucked away in an exotic location far from home it was breathtaking!!
And so was the show once we got inside, the floral arrangements were to die for as were the hors d' oeuvers thanks to Aaron's Catering International & Gourmet and the drinks provided by Martini & Rossi and Hpnotic cocktail bar. Oh wait I forgot to mention one of our favorite things at the show Edible Glitter Covered Bonbons!! Yes Edible Glitter Covered Bonbons!! OMG not only are they so super cute and would go great at any event they tasted like heaven filled with ganche!! You have to check out the site www.bedazzlemybonbons.com OK I could go on an on, but I think you get the idea...Oh wait 1 more thing.
You should have seen the gift bag we walked out with, filled with a ton of bridal magazines, champagne, makeup and hair products and so much more I'm still going through it!!
I highly suggest going to this event if it comes to your neck of the woods, even if you have to battle traffic :0)

Fun on Friday

I love getting flowers, what girl doesn't! I love them so much I buy them for myself all the time just because. Well if you know someone who loves flowers and you want to send them a bouquet from you check out this site you can send them for Free!! http://www.flowers2mail.com/

For the Bride, For the Groom

I hear this one a lot:

"I want him to help me the the big decisions but, he's to busy, forgets about the appointment etc"

Here is how you solve this one:
Make a To Do list for him.

Write out the appointments that you're fiance MUST attend (i.e. engagement pictures, fitting for the suit, WEDDING). Then make a list next to it of the things he might want to be a part of such as cake tasting, food tasting, WEDDING! Then write down all the things you'd never expect him to attend like picking out flowers and invitations. This will help him to understand what is expected of him and will make him feel that he has some control of the situation and you never know, he might actually enjoy himself!
plus you wont feel as aggravated cause now he know what you expect of him :0)
~Hope this helps ladies!

I was at the post office today when low and behold I spotted Marvel Comic stamps!

How great are these! As soon as I saw them, being in the business I thought to myself what could I use these for? Poof! just like that How great would these be on invites for a Super Hero Birthday!!! My son will be 3 in January and this year we are doing a pirate theme, but I am almost tempted to do a super hero theme just so I can buy the stamps to put on his invites!!

I'm not joking!!

Look for yourself~

Tis the season

I received my new copy of Blueprint magazine yesterday and fell in L O V E with the dress the model had on on the cover which gave me inspiration for today's post...





HOLIDAY DRESS SHOPPING!!!!!!!!!!

This seasons dresses are rich with colors and embellishments, I found a lot of golds and beautiful jewel tones and great jewelry to go along with it all!! (that will be my next post probably)
And a great dress for all price ranges Delia's.com had one of my favorites for only $44.50 but I am still in love with the Tracy Reese design though. Decisions, decisions!!



I love holidays for several reasons but one of my main reasons is because I get to go get a new outfit for the holiday parties so I put some of my favorites together for you and when I find the one I fall in love with and makes me feel like the bell of the ball I will make sure to post pictures but for now enjoy these...

There's no such thing as a perfect marriage, only perfect moments."We were shocked to discover how much work went into creating a great marriage. We'd always figured, "Hey, I'll just find my soul mate and things will naturally fall into place after that ... we'll live happily ever after."

Um, not so fast, one Marriage Master wife said with a certain look that meant business. "Whoever said being soul mates was going to be easy?" Her husband of 52 years nodded, then added, "Marriage is a bed of roses, thorns and all."Any time two individuals live together (especially over 40 years) there are bound to be annoying, irritating, and frustrating experiences. But whether it's the toothpaste cap, toilet seat, snoring, or the last-minute pull-the-car-over-to-check-the-score-of-the-game-at-the-local-bar move, one thing is for sure: the best marriages are served with an extra helping of acceptance for one another's peccadilloes. "And that's the beauty of marriage," said Maurice, another Marriage Master. "All of our individualities, all of our wonderful differences. You gotta have friction. You can't get any heat without friction.

"We would do well, they say, to expect non-perfection; practice patience and give the acceptance we want in return. There's no doubt that this is hard work, but judging by the end result, it's well worth the effort.
