Oh Martha.....

I know again with Martha, part of me wants to hate her, but she still has the best stuff!  In the newest edition of the MS Weddings, she featured this cool wedding in New York City.  The pictures here are exactly what I mean when I tell my clients to make the wedding represent them.  This couple chose things like the personalized egg shakers, as a fun take away gift because of the grooms love of music.  Once again well done Martha....

Props to Martha

I am sure it comes as no surprise to anyone that I have a ton of gay friends. I am a florist and wedding planner after all. So when I saw that Martha Stewart featured this marriage in her "Real Weddings" section in the Winter 2010 issue, I was so excited. I certainly know a few couples who would love to have a ceremony just like this. And since this is my blog and I get to express my views, I have to say I can't wait until everyone in our country is equal and can have wonderful wedding just like this. I hope a change comes soon.

Gotta Love the Candy!

So today I walked into the grocery store and was confronted by a giant wall of Halloween candy. Which quite frankly is one of the greatest things ever! I happen to love candy, and it got me thinking about some of the candy buffets I have been able to set up for weddings and parties. They are so much fun and yet so simple. Great web sites like Candywarehouse.com have made it so easy to create these super fun buffets. They allow you to order candy in bulk and you can look up candy according to themes or color. You will be amazed at the color assortments and some of the crazy old-school candy they have. Setting up the candy buffet is super easy. All you need is a big table, a bunch of different sized containers, a couple ice scoops, and some small clear plastic bags. Your guests will love being able to scoop out their favorite candies, and if there are any kids around, they will think your parties are the best ever! Here are a few really fantastic pictures of different candy buffet themes.photos by Martha Stewart and Amy Atlas
