Eye Candy: Apple

Eating a candy apple bring back so many childhood memories. Candy apples are fun comfort treats for the soul. Winter weddings are great for offering candy apples instead of a full desert bar or offer them to your guest while they walk out the door for a little midnight snack.


I love the below make your own caramel apple station. See the basket of apples and the caramel in the back left corner?

This couple used the caramel and chocolate covered apple to lead guests to their tables.
Have a wonderful day my gorgeous brides and a fantastic weekend.

What's Happening in the boutique?

I decided I would end my posts with an inside look at what is happening here at the Soiree boutique. Much like a behind the scenes look at Soiree.

Today I am working on cutting and printing Save the Dates for a wonderful brides. I am also designing and printing my own daughters first birthday party invites. Tomorrow I am off to Sonoma with a bride to show the groom a wedding venue they are interested in. Sunday I am off to Auburn with such a sweet bride of mine to check out her wedding venue and brainstorm ideas for design. I love this crazy wedding season and I adore all my lovely brides.

Friday Detail Day

Details, Details...... What is more important than the details? I think the wedding ceremony is about the couple and the reception is about celebrating with your guest who have come to witness your vows. When it come to the reception it should be all about wowing you guests. In the same manner they should feel welcomed from the moment they arrive at your wedding weather that be days before for your out of town visitors or your destination wedding guests. The welcome basket is a great way to welcome guests and make them feel important. I love the idea of including elements of the surrounding area of your venue. Her are some idea for the welcome bag goodies.

A good rule of thumb is to fill canvas bags with goodies your wedding city is famous for. Canvas bags are perfect because they can easily be packed away in a suitcase or used as a carry on for the trip home. They can also be printed on with your monogram or you can find one that matches your wedding theme or color scheme.

I would also include a itinerary of your weddings events for those who are invited ie. rehearsal dinner, Sunday brunch, golf tournament ect.
