Favorite Wedding Cake Summer 2008

This is definitely my favorite cake from my summer '08 weddings. Bella Rosa Cakes in Oklahoma City does a phenomenal job every time. I always recommend them to my brides, and anyone who is having a special occasion.

The bride wanted her cake to be decorated with her dress as the inpiration (see below) and it was executed beautifully.

The windows at the United Methodist church downtown OKC provided a stunning pictoral backdrop, as well.

Candy Shower

As you have probably noticed we like the candy bar idea. We decided to use this as the theme for a shower for Olivia and baby Benjamin last weekend.

With some colorful candies, bright, patchwork tablecloth, and our fabulous friends from Hobby Lobby this is the table we created. Guests could fill up their own candy bag with their own candy mix to eat at the shower or take home for later.

Glass bottled pops and flavored water from Target added to the sugar high, as well.

Bedtime Story Party

I love this idea. I am starting an all out campaign for Mia to choose this theme for her 4th birthday instead of the ever-popular-but-oh-so-predictable-Princess Party. I'm not holding my breath

A Sonnet

Oh Preston Bailey, how do I love thee?

Let me count the ways.

I love thee for turning a cake stand into a centerpiece:For making a tartlett tin a piece of art:For using grass on a table, oh how I love me some grass:
And I especially love thee for these adorable chairs:
Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose,

I shall but love thee better after you plan a fabulous party just for me.

This is my new favorite shower idea. Especially for those Sunday afternoon showers right after a big lunch. No one really feels like eating a lot of food, but candy, well, everyone can make an exception for candy. It's fun, you don't have to eat a lot but can just get a little taste of something sweet. And the colors are beautiful.
Buffets - they aren't just for the Golden Corral anymore.

It's a potted plant, it's a centerpiece, it's a...

dessert!

Who wouldn't want these adorable things served at their next birthday party? In fact, why don't you just forget you ever saw these babies so I can keep this idea all for myself.

Finger food taken to another level

Now this would require some coordination, but I'm certainly willing to give it a try.

Wrap It, Wrap It Good

I love beautiful wrapping and fun gift-giving.

I've always thought, "I wish my name was on this wrapping paper. Then the giftee would really know who it was from." Now you can! I'm going to have to get some of this:

And these GREEN ideas I saw on Head of the Table are too cute!

No beach, no problem

How cute would these be at each place setting at a swim party? I'll just go ahead a tell you - very, very cute.

Give Me My Bling!

If I have bling I have happiness.

Just look at these fabulous examples!

The rainbow chandelier could make any party fantastic!

This is crystal tree designed by Cristalier is in my dreams nightly.

Taking the toothpick to another level

How dare you put the common toothpick into my cocktail weenie. I want a nail. These would be great for a man party, or a couples shower, or your kids friends from shop class, or your Thanksgiving dinner table. You get the point.

Owls are in

This adorable invitation would be perfect for a girl or a boy:
And this would make a great gift:

Owls just may be the new duck. You heard it here first.


I couldn't resist showing off my new favorite owl shirt:

Thank you so much for coming to the 1st Annual Blogger Bash. It was so much fun to plan. In my own little insecure world I kept thinking, "Did anyone have fun?" "I hope no one thought it was a waste of time" "I knew I should have had a program." "Why didn't I hire a caterer?" and all kinds of other neurotic things. However, it was worth a shot, and for what it's worth I thought it was a great time. All I have to say is: Next year - bigger and better.

I am adding a link list on this site of all the vendors at Blogger Bash. If you were one of them, send me your link!

It's a Bohemian Summer

(or so I've heard).
