Take a look at the trailer for a new movie called Bride Wars! Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson will play best friends who are pitted against each other when their wedding dates clash. They compete for venues, services and guests, once it's clear that neither will step aside. The movie looks super fun. Take a look....

A high end dessert bar!? Who could resist!!!! We found out about the wonderful and talented Amy Atlas and we love her work! Her tables are true pieces of sweet art! Take a look at some of her amazing work:



Amy is the owner of Amy Atlas Events in New York City. It is evident that her attention to detail is what has made her business successful. The color coordination and overall aesthetics are beautiful. Take a look at her website for more yummy goodness. YUMM!

"We picked the meat, now what cheese do we want?" - That is the question Stephan asked Arielle at our initial consultation, referring to a previous comment I made comparing our many selections to Subway. We met Stephan and Arielle at the Bridal Expo, they were so great and so enthusiastic! Their sense of humor made every selection a blast.

Their wedding will be in a secret location in Germany in Stephan's hometown! I know, how romantic! The location is amazing! It's breathtaking, and their guest are in for a great treat. The activities leading up to the event are full of German traditions that their guests are sure to never forget.

The invitation that we are working on is a rich detail driven design full of charm. The final design will mimic the style of the room where the reception will take place, and it will be printed in English and German! This couple has to be one of our favorites to date! They were so much fun and it was a pleasure hearing their suggestions for their {unique} invitations! We can't wait to show you the final sub! Stay tuned.

Remember our "In the Works: Kari and Christopher" post? Well, we have been mentioned on Kari's blog, Kee To Your Heart. It was so great to find out that she loves us, she really does!!! Clients like Kari make us love what we do even more!

Thanks Kari for posting about little ol us!!!

This one's for the guys. Ladies we know you should be the focus on your special day, but where would you be without that strapping young fellow next to you!? Let's face it, he is in the pictures too. Read below and forward to your favorite boy!

Guys!
Grooming for your special day is extremely important. While everybody waits for the bride to make her big debut, what do they do? They stare at you! Why not give them a sexy new face to stare at, we are talking shaving, plucking, moisturizing, shellacking, drilling, stuccoing, and anything else you can think of to make your face glow (a manly glow of course). Like a beer bottle in the moonlight.

Let's not forget the ever-important haircut and if you are ready to go where some do not dare......THE MANICURE! Yes, we went there. There is nothing sexy about the splinters you got while trying to build that stand to hold your new 42 inch plasma TV. All of these minor details help make the day extra special, not only for you but for your bride-to-be. We found a great website that breaks it down for you in a "man-ish" way: www.thegroomguide.com. Read below for some of the excerpts from the article on grooming for the big day and tell us what you think. It's a rather fun read.


“Never outshine the master”.
Words to live by, especially when it comes to your wedding. Yes, the Bride-to-Be is the “master”. The Bride is the focus, center of attention, and the one everybody stares at when you’re both walking down the aisle. This is her special day, but every Queen needs a King. It’s time for a crash course in looking like you belong on that throne. We’ll tell you everything you need to know about looking your very best without looking like you spent more time then the Bride-to-Be.

Nail it down
Look at your fingers. Look carefully. How long are your nails? Do you see pieces of donut inside your fingernails? Would your nails set off store alarms? Does it look like a pair of hungry hyenas gnawed on them all night? It may be time to visit the local nail salon.
Yes, we know. It makes you look like a Nancy Boy. And the truth is, it probably will. But there is a light (a rather dim light) at the end of this tunnel. When your wife or everybody at the whole frickin wedding holds your hands, they will not be repulsed, and they certainly won’t pick up any coodies. Somebody once said that,”God is in the details”. Let those words speak for themselves. In terms of your body, this is like icing on the cake. It makes everything look a hell of a lot better. It shows everybody that you’re a man of class, and you enjoy the finer things in life...like hygiene for example. Plus, the “hand in hand” pictures will live for forever!

I think we need clear some things up. There are some rumors that need to be addressed. Ok, so they aren't rumors but they still need to be fixed.
