Champagne for Beverage Monday

For me, nothing says romance like champagne. Then you make it pink and I'm in heaven. This year, Moet & Chandon introduced a spectacular Rosé Champagne. The Moët Rosé Indulgence Coffret. The bottle is a glossy black lacquer. Their website describes it as the Glamourous Champagne, and "Unlocking it is to discover the spirit of an 18th centure boudoir, a world of indulgence and richesse” It's packaged in a sensual box complete with a lock and key with a pink tassel. So utterly sexy!!!!

Happy 4th of July

In honor of Independence Day, I thought I would do a Red, White & Blue Inspiration Board. You can do the patriotic colors without having the flag emblazoned on everything. Next year we will celebrate 4th of July on a Saturday and why not do the colors for your patriotic wedding. Plus, as a bonus you get to cap the evening off a great firework display and hand out sparklers to your guests.
So here's wishing everybody and fun & safe 4th of July weekend.

New Feature. Beverage Monday.

How fun is this is? Vodka 02, a patented Sparkling Vodka. What a great alternative to champagne and at 80 proof quite a bit more potent!!

"The Vodka is of exceptional quality and smoothness that gently sparkles on the tongue, lightens your mood and stirs the senses. Its sexy, sophisticated and creates a sense of fun, celebration and occasion." from Admiral Imports US distributor of Vodka o2.

Here are a couple of fun recipes from the website.

Velvet Angel (a nice deep Purple)
2 oz of chilled Vodka o2
1 0z of Chambord
1/2 oz of Triple Sec
1/2 oz of Raspberry puree
4 oz of Cranberry juice
Stir all ingredients together and serve over ice in a 14 oz glass. Garnish with raspberries and mint.
Blue 7 (blue, of course)
2 oz of chilled Vodka o2
1 oz of Blue Curacao
Top with Apple juice
Stir all ingredients together and serve over ice in a 14 oz glass. Garnish with an orange slice.

Flip Flops

It's Summer time and who wants to wear shoes? I don't, even in the winter. There are quite a few cute wedding flip flops out there. Here is just a tiny sample of some pretty ones. They're great for a beach wedding or changing into to dance the night away at the reception.

Viva la France

Ok, you cannot have a name like A Joyeux Day without loving all things French, so when I saw these I fell in love. Is it not just the cutest? It is a little box by Studio d. Sharp. You can buy one for an engagement ring and add a "Marry Me" sign or you can buy several and put candy in them to use as favor boxes. Thank you to Parisian Party Blog for posting this 1st.

Hot Summer Days!!!


Sunny Yellow & Cool Blue

It's actually the last day of spring and it's 100 degrees outside so I thought I'll try my hand at an inspiration board. So here is my 1st based on the hot, summer sun & fresh, cool water. Nice refreshing lemonade, yellow Gerber daisies, blue umbrellas, fans to keep cool, a beautiful view, a delicious cake and bridesmaids in yellow & blue.
Enjoy!!

Why so many posts about industry events?

I know it seems like I'm only posting about events I'm going to & not ones that I am coordinating.

I've come to the realization it will take longer than I thought to build the business and start getting clients. So for now, I will just keep on going to events, taking classes, blogging and doing research to learn as much as possible about this industry that I have been a part of for so many years but, working for other people and not bringing my camera to capture the events I was working.

Thank you for reading and your support. I will keep you informed on my progress.
