I must have a thing for tea today because here is another cute favor that I found. One of the vials pictured above is filled with heart shaped drop tea and the other is filled with heart shaped sugar cubes. These would be perfect given as a pair or separate. You could even give the sugar vials with a cute package of personalized coffee. Either way this is a unique favor that I love. Buy This Item!
Here is a cute little idea for all you tea lovers out there. Well actually anyone, because I don’t even like tea and I love this favor. This is a tea sachet and they are able to be personalized especially for your special day. Each silken fabric tea sachet is filled with natural whole leaf teas, rough-cut herbs and flowers. The sachets are individually hand crafted, and yield two cups of tea. The open weave of the fabric allows the tea leaves to unfurl, the flavors to mingle, and the robust tea to flow right through the sachet into your cup. The tea sachets are available in Ginger, Flora, Citrus, Mint, Jasmine, Earl Grey, Forte, Oasis, and Chamomile. Check it out!
Bridal Party Tees will be in the Houston Area this weekend! We will be attending the Bridal Extravaganza Show Saturday July 14th from 10am.-5pm. and Sunday July 15th from noon to 5pm. We will be giving away free t-shirts for every visitor to our booth. The Bridal Extravaganza Show will take place in the R.Brown Convention Center in Downtown Houston, Texas. We will be located in booth 1912, right next to the fashion runway. So make sure to come visit us. For those of you who can not make it to our show, I will post pictures when we get back but I encourage you to come because it will defiantly be worth your while!
Another alterative to a guest book is to buy a photo frame with a signature (acid-free-to avoid fading) mat—like the one above. As the guests come in, have them sign the mat. Then you can place your engagement or wedding photo in the center and you will be able to hang the photo and forever remember who shared your special day! See the frame pictured!
Instead of having an ordinary guestbook, that you hardly will look at again, you can create a photo guest book. All you have to do is to assign a couple people to be guestbook attendants. Then as the guests arrive have the guestbook attendants take Polaroid’s of each guest. They can be taken individually or in the group they arrive in. Then put the pictures in a guestbook/scrapbook and have the guests sign the bottom of their picture. This gives you a book you can enjoy forever. Plus you may actually look at this one again.
This has to be the cutest cake I have seen in a while. It may not be good for a wedding but it is perfect for a wedding shower! Maybe it is because of my obsession of shoes, but I love this cake and think that it is simply irresistible. I love how the Prada and Manolo shoe boxes are staked and the detail is impeccable. The shoe on the top of the cake even has a tag on the inside. I think I may be in love with this cake! By Ron Ben-Israel Cakes, http://www.weddingcakes.com/.

When I saw this cake I had to take a second look because it looked so much like pillows. I thought to myself “Why are there pillows in a cake gallery?” Well silly me, after taking a second look I realized it was cake. I am completely amazed at how flawless and perfect this cake is. But perfection always comes at a cost. This cake is by Mike’s Amazing Cakes and the cost is $1,800. Serves 120, mikesamazingcakes.com.
I like this heart because I think it is a great way to spice up a flower girl basket or a ring bearer’s pillow. This heart is an easy accessory to either of these items and you can get it in a silver or gold finish. All you have to do is to tie it on. Plus it is really reasonable. It is $3.95 and the engraving is free! That is perfect because the engraving is usually the most expensive part. Plus after the wedding you an always add a little O-ring and attach the heart to a keychain or necklace. So it is easily repurposed. See this heart!
If you are having little ones attend your wedding this is a must! I thought this was the greatest idea. This coloring book and crayons set will help keep the children occupied during the wedding and reception. I have a 17 month daughter and she would definitely need this to make it through a long ceremony. Plus it is a cute little gift from you that they are sure to enjoy.
Martha Stewart Weddings is a spectacular site that allows you to great a plethora of ideas. I am an avid reader of the site and I always find things I want to try. Whether you are a do it yourselfer or just want ideas this site is a great resource. Here is a table setting and centerpiece idea that I just love!
Boxes topped with flowers make a beautiful centerpiece; a table number is embroidered onto ribbon encircling the largest box. Inside, the stems sit in water bottles stabilized by crumpled paper. Favor boxes, which contain nonpareils, double as place cards.
Tools and Materials
Quilling paper (enough to wrap around lid and overlap slightly)
Small boxes
Double-sided tape
A peony or a few ranunculuses
Utility knife,
Plastic flower tube
Nonpareils
Flower Boxes How-To
1. Have a calligrapher inscribe each strip of paper with a guest’s name in pink gouache (an opaque ink). Tape paper around edge of box lid.
2. Using a utility knife, cut an opening in the center of the lid.
3. Cut off top of flower tube so it’s just shorter than box. Add a bit of water to tube. Insert flowers into tube; insert tube into lid.
4. Fill box with nonpareils (leave room for flower tube); close box.
