Baby stuff that is too cute!

Tuesday, July 24th, 2007

Although this isn’t really related to weddings, I just had to share. www.westcoastbaby.com

Super cute kimonos are available in lots of patterns. Of course I love the pink and brown one. There are also matching pants available. If you were having an asian inspired theme at your wedding, it would be too cute to dress your flowergirl in one of these.

If you are expecting a new addition, or are in need of a lovely gift for someone who is, this kimono wrap would be great. I got something similar to this when I had Aidan and I just loved it. It was really easy to put on and open for diaper changes. Available in lots of different colour combinations but of course, I pick this one.

There are lots of other lovely things at westcoast baby. Check them out. They are a Canadian company!

Fun with Jelly Bellys - Megan and Levi, July 14

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

Megan had a fun and original idea for her favours. Instead of filling these cute little tins ahead of time, she decided to let her guests fill them up at the table. She filled a clear round vase full of assorted Jelly Bellys and used it as a centrepiece. The colourful beans added a punch of colour to the all white table. I love this idea! The guests loved it too and I heard that at least one table ate all of the beans!

We designed 5 different coloured labels and added different coloured ribbons to coordinate with the labels. We put everything together for Megan and Levi, but you can purchase all of the elements in our store.

Thanks again to Emma of barebonephoto for these amazing photos.

Congratulations Megan and Levi! It was a pleasure working with you. All the best!

Beautiful cake plate

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

I saw this gorgeous cake plate and thought I would share it with you. It would be lovely to use for a cupcake tower for a wedding or any other special party. It is available online at Bodie and Fou and was designed by Polly George. There is also a teapot that is just beautiful.

Do you ever feel like this?

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

I came across these two videos that are very funny. I think that you would agree that this is how it feels sometimes when you mention that you are planning a wedding. The first video has some adult language, as my son would say “the S word”. I thought that they were both quite funny and that you might enjoy them.

Rest assured that we keep our prices the same even if it is for a wedding! Enjoy!

Nadia and Andrew asked me to create some wrappers for the chocolate bars they were giving as favours. I thought I would share some photos with you.

Congratulations to Nadia and Andrew. We hope your guests enjoyed their sweet favours and the cute story you included on the back of the wrapper.

Thank you to Emma of barebonephoto for sharing these lovely photos with me.

If you are interested in having custom designed chocolate bar wrappers, please let me know. I love designing them.

Bride Confessions

Thursday, July 5th, 2007

I happened to find this site yesterday www.truebrideconfessions.com and I must say that I am addicted. I love the secret confessions of stressed out brides and bridesmaids.

There are also true mom confessions, true dad confessions and true office confessions. I don’t know about you but I always feel a bit better about my life after reading some of these things.

Check them out if you have a confession to make or if you just want to see what secrets everyone else has.
