Spring is in the air!

According to the calendar it's spring and when I think of spring I think of my all time favorite cocktail; the Sea Breeze. This super cool and super easy drink will definately put you in a lazy spring day kind of mood.


To make this cocktail you will need:

  • 1 3/4 oz. vodka
  • 3 oz. cranberry juice
  • 1 oz. grapefruit juice
  • lime wedge for garnish

 
Directions:

 

  1.  Pour the cranberry juice and vodka into a highball glass half filled with ice.
  2. Stir mixture well.
  3. Top off with the grapefruit juice.
  4. Garnich with the lime wedge.

 
Cheers!

Bridal Tip of the Day


Make sure you break in those dancing shoes before your wedding day. You absolutely LOVE your new 5 inch Christian Louboutin or Manolo Blahnik’s but they may not be the most practical choice. We suggest that you walk around in your new shoes prior to the wedding to break them in and add cushion inserts if needed.

Remember - happy feet make a happy bride!

Candy Bar Anyone???


In case you didn't know, a planners BFF is none other than the World Wide Web...yea that's right, you heard me the Internet.  When planning an event, the very first thing I will do (after meeting with my client that is) is fire up my trusty laptop and search for images that I can use for inspiration.  One of my absolute FAVORITE sites to look at is Hostess with the Mostess.  The dynamic team made up of Jennifer and Sonny Sbranti (yes, friends - husbands and wives CAN work together) never fail me or their audience with providing us with some yummy eye candy and easy DIY ideas to get those planning creative juices flowin'. 

 While working on my little one's 2nd birthday party, I stumbled upon this lovely candy bar.  Isn't it absolutely adorable?  There are a few elements that I'm thinking about using for the upcoming party.  I will provide more details about the party in a later post.  In the meantime if you think this picture was cute, you must check out the rest of the post...you'll LOVE it!  To read more about this whimsical lollipop inspired dessert table click  here. 

Until then...
Happy Planning!
