I love this adorable décor idea from the Hostess with the Mostess. Not only are these bridal shower decorations cute they are also something the bride can keep and to add to her kitchen. Don’t you just love decorations that can be repurposed into something useful!
These cookbooks are a great idea for wedding gifts. They are perfect for the new bride and groom or for an extra special gift to the wedding party or the mothers of the bride and groom. Secret Ingredients allows you to choose from two styles of cookbooks the heirloom and the keepsake. The heirloom contains 250 of your family recipes and can be adorned with up to 15 photographs. The keepsake is a bit smaller and can hold 50 or more recipes. Both cookbooks would be a great gift but I think it would be a very unique and thoughtful present to the bride and groom. This would give the bride and groom a starting point on all the family meals they loved as kids and never knew how to make. This is a great present and I love this idea! I can not tell you how many times I have called my mom asking her for her recipes!Check them out!
When choosing flowers for your wedding, one thing you might want to consider is the meanings of these flowers. This gives you a fun way to pick that perfect flower.

Forget-me-not – True Love
Red Chrysanthemum – Sharing
Lily of the Valley – Happiness
White Lilac – Youthful Innocence
Attention to detail will make a definite impression among your guests – one not soon to be forgotten. Create an atmosphere of luxury for the ladies. Place vases of fresh flowers, or elegant dried flower arrangements, in the ladies room. Add fragrant bowls of potpourri, heart shaped soaps in decorative dishes, perhaps candles if the venue will permit (votives safely contained in glass holders). Include a lovely basket filled with items such as hairspray, a container of safety pins, tissues, hair pins, and a decorative dispenser containing hand cream, along with other such convenience items as a courtesy to your guests.
The Hostess with the Mostess had this recipe on her site and I thought it would be the perfect cocktail for a summer wedding or even a bridal luncheon. I know it is going to be almost 100 degrees today so I may need one of these by the end of the day!

When planning a wedding everyone knows that the details are so important. It is that close attention to detail that will amaze and impress all of your guests. With that in mind, check out this idea. Instead of sealing your invitations just as is, use a wax seal. This will give them an ultra elegant and impressive feel. Plus it is really unique. How many invitations have you received sealed in wax? Probably not that many, if any at all, that’s what makes this such a great idea. Check it Out!
