Some Minted Favorites…

As you know I LOVE paper. So… I thought it only fitting to share some of my favorite Minted.com products.

Their wedding minibook cards are becoming a fast favorite of mine. You can use them as save-the-date cards, and programs. Aren’t these so cute? For these save-the-dates you can tell your story along with pictures of the two of you.

You can also have a few wedding details in your mini save-the-date book.

You can also use these mini’s for your wedding programs. All the details for your wedding weekend can be in one place so your guest will be well informed.

I love these Yearline save-the-dates. You can tell your story of how you met, and how you got engaged. You can even include a few details about the wedding.

You all now how much I love eco-friendly products. Make sure you check out the eco-friendly line Minted.com has to offer. You can also upgrade to recycled paper with most of their products.

You can’t forget about Menu cards for your wedding. Making sure every little detail matches will be sure to capture everyone’s attention, and will give your day a little something special.

I love some of the designs from Minted.com. They are so simple and clean; like this menu card.

Make sure you check out everything Minted has to offer, and don’t forget, you will get $20 Off Your First Minted Purchase.

Happy Shopping!

Crazy About Bundt Cakes!

I have seriously thought about it a lot. I’ve thought about creating a food blog, simply because I could talk about food all day long. I’ve also thought about adding an additional category to this blog and doing a weekly post about food. But until then, we’ll indulge in a little sugar fix this morning.

Today I’m crazy about bundt cakes. I love how we’re seeing bundt cakes make their way into weddings more often. Not only are these delicious cakes perfect for your wedding, but I’ve got some other great ideas for them.

I love this idea from Martha Stewart Weddings. Mini bundt cakes in a small box as a wedding favor to your guests. You know you can never go wrong with edible gifts.

Have a bridal shower coming up? Adding a bundt cake to the menu will have your guests eating more than one piece.

The wedding cake. Here’s a great way to incorporate a bundt cake into your design.

I love this idea via Australia Entertains. “Catch the Bouquet Bundt Cake” Its simple instead of the single ladies running and knocking down each other trying to catch the bouquet they all take a ribbon wrapped around the bundt cake.

The person who grabs the ribbon tied around the cake gets the bouquet. Simple right? This might get those single friends who are embarrassed to get up in front of a crowd up and trying to get the bouquet.

Whatever you decide I’m sure your guests will love it and indulge in a little sugar fix!

DIY: Potted Centerpieces

If you are looking for a great alternative for wedding centerpieces make sure you consider potted plants. Not only are they eco-friendly they can also save you a few dollars and are an easy Do-It-Yourself project.

When you go to the garden center make sure you find plants that can be easily taken care of and grow anywhere.

Also look for fresh herbs, there’s nothing better than the smell of lavender or rosemary at an outdoor wedding.

What you’ll need:

Spray paint to match your wedding colors

Plants

Pots (you can also do several different sizes if you want a layered look on the tables)

Stencils & Paint (if you want to decorate the outside of the pots)

You don’t have to use the potted plants just as centerpieces. You can also use them as wedding favors, and escort cards for you guests. The possibles are endless with this DIY project.

Beau-coup also has great garden party favors that will compliment your potted centerpieces, so make sure you check them out for more options.

Waxing Poetic

I’m really excited about our newest sponsor Waxing Poetic. What I love about their pieces is they are symbolic and perfect for every occasion.

Honestly, when I read this from the “Our Story” page I knew they were a very special company:

You might remember my blog post Finding the perfect cuff link and Groomsmen Gifts, these would make the perfect gift to your hubby to be or groomsmen.

These earrings are also another great idea for your Bridesmaid Gifts.

A little charm goes a long way…

I always say that its all about the little details. Its the little charm that stands out on your bouquet. Some use it for their something blue. Whatever it may be, its a must for your wedding flower bouquet.

I love these little photo charms. This is a great way to honor your past loved ones.

I love brochettes. It is the perfect way to dress up your bouquet. You can even get a blue one and use it as your something blue.

These perfect little charms can have your initials, wedding date, or something special written. They are the perfect little keepsake to remember your very special day.

Another great gift for your bridesmaids is charms on each of their bouquets.

A little bling, bling never hurts. If your wanting to go more simple this is great. Because after all, diamonds are a girls best friend.

Remember to think of what may be special to you and honor it by dressing up your wedding bouquet. You will never go wrong with what you choose.

Happy Planning! :)
