Candy Bar

Ever go to a wedding and want a little of this and a little of that for dessert? One of the newest DIY craves is a candy bar during the reception. These are easy to create and can be color-coordinated to your theme. Fill some glass bowls of different sizes with different candies and you will have a great table (Glass bowls can be purchased for as low as one dollar at AC Moore). Placing a banner over your table or by your table adds a great look, these banners can even be color-coordinated. Check out etsy.com for these type of banners.

Recap of the Society of Wedding Planners "Whose Table Is It Anyway?" table top design competition!

We decided to enter the "Whose Table Is It Anyway?" competition that was held on September 21st, 2011 at the Phoenixville Foundry. Proceeds benefited the Gift of Life Family House.

We LOVE designing anything for weddings (that's why we exist!)! So it just made sense that we would enter this competition. There were multiple categories. We entered the Wedding decor budget of $10,000 or more. We chose to do a wedding design inspired by Steampunk. It was so much fun and very interesting putting together all the Steampunk elements.

There was great food, talented professionals, flower competition, and much more! To read the article and to see a lot more pictures, taken by Lindsay Docherty, make sure you read issue 4 (it will be released December 15th)!

FARMER'S MARKET WEDDING

About a week ago we decided to do some hands on research for one of our photo shoots. The photo shoot will be inspired by a "local" farmer's market. Everything from the from the reception decoration to the favors will be from a farmer's market. Most people have a farmer's market within 20miles of them. Luckily for us, we live near Lancaster County (Amish country/Dutch country). So, naturally, we were very exited about going to our local farmer's markets for inspiration and to test out the yummy treats.  There is so much fresh produce, meat, baked goods, crafts, candy, nuts and the list goes on and on.

Find out what days and times your local farmer's markets are open and visit!

FOODIE FOR A DAY - YUMMY:)

A few weeks ago Jason and I decided to be foodies for a day. The results..........getting to eat some great food! Food carts/trucks/trailers are so popular with weddings and other events right now. We had to try it out for ourselves. We stopped by a local college campus with two streets of about eight different food trucks. There was such a selection of food, from cupcakes and tacos to chili dogs and breakfast sandwiches. Not only did the food taste good, it wasn't expensive at all! So, if your planning a wedding, or any events really, and want to do something nontraditional check out local food trucks in your area. Give yourself a pass for extra calories (after all it is research!). You'll be glad you did!

Our new trailer and behind the scenes videos!

So since our first photo shoot back in February (well even before that I guess) we knew that we wanted to give you access to the behind the scenes and give you awesome videos to watch. Finally, we have our 'it's about details trailer' completed as well as the behind the scenes video of the 'Rocker Chic' photo shoot. We still have lots of other videos in the works! Some behind the scenes and some actual videos where we will give you advice, updates, etc.! Let us know what you would like to see. I'm personally video shy, but still very excited! But for now enjoy these videos below!
