“OH What is that Perfume you are Wearing?”

Hi Friends,
I’m often asked, what fragrance is great for the wedding day? I always say, find an oil base fragrance that is light and easy on the nose. An oil base fragrance will last the entire day, even with your adrenalin glands in super hype mode. You will tend to perspire more and it may be hard to find the time to replenish your fragrance. I’m loving Leila Lou right now, not only for the wedding day… but I have been applying daily as I’m literally stopped and asked what fragrance are you wearing? It is a small bottle that will last a long time because you need so little. I catch myself smelling my wrist all day LOL!  If you are tempted you can find it on my e-store…delicious I say! xox Mindy

Vroooom Formula 1 B’nai Mitzvah

Hi Friends,

I must say this B’nai Mitzvah (bar Mitzvah for twins) turned out to be one of my favorites. I’ve been blessed to be able to decorate several events with fun themes but this one just came together so nicely! The boys loved formula 1 racing. Especially Ferrari’s! Always with boys I find there is a bit of a challenge to make sure the decor is not too feminine in any way. You will see that Mark from Marks Garden did an amazing  job incorporating flowers with race cars…Take a look at the kids area…we designed the coffee tables out of tires and the round lounge couches with race flags coming out the top … fabulous! Thanks Romina and Edgar!

The panels which hid the old wood walls at the country club were dressed in grey and white and sponsor logo decals (like at the races) were place strategically around the room..Thanks Bob!

We had a tented  outside area which we draped in red and hung fabulous light boxes again with logos that lit the game area for the kids.

We placed 6 plasmas on the stage to add dimension. The plasmas showed car racing and the black and white checked dance boxes were crowded by the kids all night. Of course my favorite part were the tables. The linens were grey with white welting. Black and white checked cushion covers and orange napkins. The menus and napkin rings were designed by my friend ellen and really helped to tie it all together!

So much to write hope you enjoy the pics! xox Mindy

Raise The Cake!

Hi Friends,
Loving these cake stands from www.raisethecake.com. This is a wonderful way to customize your cake, with your wedding colors even fabric that you may have used for your linens..your cake will definitely stand out amongst the rest…I use to dread figuring out how to display cupcakes, they always look too flat when they just sit on plates… how cute is the picture below!
Sometimes you just want a small cake  just to cut but, you still want it to stand out…these cake stands are a perfect way to make the guests walk over and look at your beautiful cake and the stand of course! Give Kathy Jo a call she is very talented!

Enjoy the pics xox Mindy
