Jewel Tones

This upcoming season I'm certainly looking forward to all the beautiful jewel tones that can be worn.  Sapphire, emerald, citrine and garnet are just some of the dramatic colors that are flattering and absolutely beautiful.  These gorgeous hues command attention and are the perfect go-to color for a night out on the town, as well as a great alternative to black.

Current Obsession: Edible Wedding Favors


Whether savory or sweet, nothing is better than edible wedding favors to send home with your guests.  Get creative and personal with these fun to-go items.  Love cookies? Have an awesome family recipe?  A favorite candy? There are so many amazing options that are crowd pleasing and delicious.

 
I love these rosemary infused olive oils. And how cute is that Italian "grazie" label?
Macaroons are elegant and delicious




Mixed nuts can be the perfect savory send-off snack


Chocolate is decadent, romantic and delicious!


Dessert buffets double as decor and tasty delights


Be creative with your favors and be sure to choose something that you absolutely love.  Adorn it with a darling sticker or label with your initials, a thank you, or a fun or whimsical saying.  Edible favors can truly add a special detail to your party.
