Gourmet Jell-O Shots

I know what you’re thinking….”Wow, Stacy has stooped to an all-time low on this one! Jello-O shots for a wedding…PUH-LEASE!” Well, what if I told you that Martha Stewart Weddings has recognized “upscale jelly shots”, formerly known as plain ol’ Jell-O shots, as one of the hottest wedding trends right now. I actually found a blog and book dedicated to the very subject.

Ladies and gentlemen, jelly shots are not just for frat parties anymore…these classed-up versions can bring a fun, albeit unexpected, design element to even the most fabulous of fêtes. And seriously, who doesn’t love a good Jello-O shot? Admit it…these wiggly, whimsical little treats are an absolute delight to devour!

Many people would not dare to have a costumed themed wedding! Those who do consider it fear they won’t succeed. However, if planned properly, wedding guests will be guaranteed a fun time with a memory that will last forever.

Costume weddings are unforgettable! They are fun and definitely unique. When planning a costume wedding, think about the theme you want to portray. Do you wish to have a fairy tale themed wedding? Or a super hero wedding? The possibilities are endless…

Milk And Cookies

When you hear the words milk and cookies, you instantly think of all things comforting, loving, and supportive.  Am I right? Milk and cookies are the ultimate comfort food … what you ate as a child when your grandparents wanted to give you a special treat or what young children leave out for Santa on Christmas Eve to show their gratitude. So, why not serve milk and cookies on your wedding day to remind you and all your guests of those good times growing up. This a wonderfully yummy way to thank your guests for attending your wedding!

I love the different ways milk and cookies can be served during a wedding.  They can be served passed with loose cookies and small glasses of milk.

Or on a milk and cookie bar, where you can incorporate several different types of cookies and flavors of milk for your guests to choose.

It is also a theme where you can incorporate all things vintage…

Weddings with a View

Choosing a wedding location is one of the most important parts of the wedding planning process.  the location of a wedding sets the mood for the whole day. Will your wedding be a beach wedding, a country club wedding or a destination wedding?

Nowadays, couples try to think about wedding locations in new and different ways (unexpected ways to be exact). Think about wedding locations that will surprise your guests. Places like a botanical garden, a museum or a library.

Another location that you might not think about is a rooftop. Yes, that’s right; pick a building with beautiful architecture that is surrounded with a wonderful view.

This is a sweet idea for couples that wish to get married in a unique place that can be decorated with party lights, candles, and of course the stars in the sky.

Here are a few inspiration images that may inspire you:
