What’s better than wedding cake?  Letting your guests feast on a mini dessert buffet filled with treats such as small pies, parfaits, truffles, mini tarts, and bite size cookies!

Having a low-key reception with hors d’oeuvres?  Pass these adorable single-bite desserts at the end of the party and everyone will leave happy.

Inspired by the dress from yesterday’s post, I give you a full on 70’s vintage board.

Think peach, chiffon, floaty layers, sashes, fabric roses, arm bouquets with trailing vines, three piece suits, bridesmaids with fans or wrist corsages, orange blossom invitations.

Weddings are extremely personal and special, not only to you but to your loved ones as well.  What better way to honor your family and friends than by incorporating photographs and memorabilia?

Ah, the vintage bride. As a bride who wore her mother’s dress, I love seeing other brides do the same.

Ellen and Caro were married at one of my favorite venues, the Viceroy in Palm Springs, and if that weren’t enough, they had the positively drool-worthy Next Exit Photography there to capture the day.  The Viceroy is black and white and yellow all over and so was this wedding!

Check out our stylish couple:

Last week, we had a chance to speak with Ralph from The Wedding Planning Audiocast. You can hear our interview here on the website. The audiocast is a fabulous resource with a gazillion interviews with our favorite wedding experts. From Sylvia Weinstock to Sasha Souza, they have it all. They also have several interviews with the fantastic wedding bloggers you all know and love. Check them out!  I’ve been listening to the casts for a few months now and love them.

We had such a great time, and I hope you enjoy hearing a little bit about what we do and how we do it.
