What's On The Menu

Since I have an obsession with details it's kinda a given that I love menus. I think every wedding needs menus. They are the perfect way to continue your weddings theme and colors and bring another element to each table.

Inspired by Paper {Wedding Menu}

This wedding menu was created for a traditional wedding. I love the classic look it offers. This Menu can be used soften a bright color palette or tie together a black and white wedding. You can find this menu in our Etsy store. I created and inspiration board in black and white to match this menu. Please enjoy!

A few fab finds

Chocolate menus! How fun is this? Totally Chocolate can make it happen. You can choose milk or dark chocolate for your guests to munch while waiting for their dinner.

I love this idea! I came across this lady on Etsy. Her name is Brooke Hagel {brooklit}. If you send her a picture of yourself in your wedding dress she will make you a custom drawing. How cool it that. She is very talented and does a great job. What better way to preserve your dress. It is a bit pricey but definitely worth the money.

Dressed to Kill

I hardly ever see any information on dressing the men for the wedding so, I decided to take a minute and talk about the men. If you are like me the tuxedo vests and ties do not cut it. I love men's ties. So to me it was important to have the men where real ties and not the rented ties. I decided to give them the ties as part of their groomsmen gifts. I wanted them to all wear the same paisley print, so I got the grooms men black and silver paisley ties that coordinated with their pinstripe tuxes. Then I got my groom a white paisley tie and the users champagne paisley ties.

I also love the look of each groomsmen wearing a different print tie but all in the same color. If you pair a beautiful tie with a simple plain vest it will add a classic elegance to your wedding.

I have found an amazing site for men's ties. The Tie Bar is a perfect resource to find ties in every color and style you can think of. The Tie Bar makes shopping for ties super easy. You can search by color, pattern, style or by matching to the color suit you have. They also offer extra long, skinny and boys ties. Each tie is only $15 no matter what. Also they offer shirts, cuff links, ascots, bow ties, and pocket squares.

Back to School Social

So yesterdays event went off perfectly. The Benicia Arsenal is an amazing setting for any event. Benicia Unified gave me a tight budget to work with and with help from the community everything was beautiful. We had simple flower arrangements done by Victoria's Designs. Wine was donated by to local hot spots The Chill and The Rellik Tavern. I did the event design/ planning as well as the invitations, programs and other paper products.

The event was to welcome new staff and honor the longevity of faculty. Thank you to everyone that helped.

Here's to another wonderful school year!
