Kelley and Greg October 30th 2009

Kelley and Greg were married October 30th 2009 at St. Elizabeth's in Avon-by-the-sea. Their reception was held at The Breakers in Spring Lake. Kelley had hired us for day of coordination and for a candy buffet. Her colors were raspberry and Lime/Green apple. We created a candy buffet using those colors and also added in some favorite candy of the bride and groom. The Candy buffet looked so delicious with the candy Kelley had chosen. It must have been hard for her guests to resist!

Some of the candy included: Watermelon fruit slices, Green gummy bears, Jelly Belly's, Taffy, Hershey kisses, M&M's and a few more! Here are a couple of pictures that I took with my camera......

Jen and Jon September 12th 2009

We met Jen back in March at the Ritacco Center Bridal show, she remembered us and after feeling overwhelmed with last minute wedding stress she contacted us just a couple weeks before her big day! We were delighted to help in any way we could to help make Jen's dream wedding a reality.

Jen is one talented and creative individual, she was a total DIY'er and created everything from centerpieces to the invitations, Jon even hand made the card box which was a tiny model of the Cinderella castle in Disney World (the couples honeymoon spot) made to look like a sand castle! Since Jen and Jon had done everything themselves they were in need of our help to execute the day with setup and direction. The wedding took place on the beach of Ship Bottom, LBI where Jon's father a judge preformed the ceremony, the reception followed at the Brant Beach Yacht Club in LBI. The beautiful beach and water setting made for a perfect back drop!

Here is a few of the professional pictures from their big day. Thank you to Mary Lee from Mary Lee Photography for providing us these fabulous images!

Special Note from the happy couple!:

Hi girls!

Jon and I are in Florida and completely exhausted! But, we have never been happier! Thank you so so much for helping to make our day perfect! We couldn't have done it without you. It was truly magical.

You girls are the best! Thanks again!

Jillian and Tony October 3rd 2009

Jillian and Tony were married October 3rd 2009. The wedding went off without a hitch and here is a sneak peak of some of the details we created for them. I cant wait to show the professional shots when they come in!

At the escort card table we draped crystal strands in between the cards. The strands hung off the table with a larger crystal.

The wish jar was our take on the guest book where the guests wrote well wishes and advice on pretty card stock and placed them in the jar!

This is a picture of the table scape before sundown and candles were lit.

That's me decorating the sweet heart table!

We had a custom cigar roller come in and roll cigars for guests!

Since Jillian loves everything that sparkles.....we had to add bling to the cake! The cake was wrapped with rhinestone ribbon.

We set up an extensive candy buffet along with the miniature pink champagne bottles they gave as favors.

The candy buffet was such a huge hit that we could hardly put the candy out with out the guests sneaking some!

Can't wait for the professional photos!

Thank you to all the vendors!

Grooms Cakes

It is an old southern tradition that has metamorphosed into a hot trend, even celebrities are sporting the grooms cake at their receptions.

The traditional grooms cake was used as an alternative to the brides cake (wedding cake) it was often either chocolate or a liqueur flavored fruit cake. They say that if a single lady sleeps with a piece of the grooms cake under her pillow she will dream about her future husband!

Now, Bride and Grooms are choosing a cake that reflects the grooms interests or hobbies like Singer Taboo from The Black Eyed Peas had a grooms cake in the shape of a tattoo that he currently has on his body

Here are some pictures of grooms cakes....
