Pockets

Brides out there...a great gift you can give to yourself and to your bridesmaids is to have a dress with pockets. I am convinced that pockets are fashion designers gifts to the everyday person. THEY ARE SO CONVENIENT!!!
Honestly, who has another hand to hold a purse for her lip gloss, Kleenexes, speeches, etc...when one hand is holding flowers and the other is wiping away happy tears!
Here are couple of pictures of some amazing bridesmaid dresses with those spectacular pockets, as well as wedding gown!

Classic Party Rentals

One of the monthly joys in my life lately has been going to NACE (National Association of Catering Executives) meetings. This last one was definilty a great one! Around 50 Wisconsin Event Proffesionals got on a bus and traveled down to Classic Party Rentals in Chicago, IL. As we got off the bus and stepped into their gallery, our mouths dropped (or at least mine did)...and my A.D.D. kicked in and I could of been compared to a kid in a candy shop. SO MUCH STUFF TO LOOK AT!!!! Differnt types of flatware, china, chafers...you name it! It was like an events persons dream come true!
After my blood pressure went back down to normal we took a tour of their warehouse....holy cow batman...this place was HUGE!!! I was amazed at how organzied and how big this place was...and of course I took pictures! Enjoy!

Yes, flatware that look like twigs....love it


My new favorite napkin fold...just imagen the menu card tucked right in there! Also, love the charger plate.

This a picture in their warehouse of JUST glassware


Linen in every color your can imagine


Huge giant football prop! So many differnt props there!

Okay...couldn't resist...loved the faux deerhead with the leis on it.


So moral of the story: if you need some creative ideas for your wedding or event...go check out the Classic Party Rental Websites or any other local party rental place in Milwaukee!

Good Enough to Eat

A magazine called Destination Weddings & Honeymoons came across my desk the other day. As I was looking through it and fantasizing about being at any of the gorgeous resorts in the magazine I came across and article called Foodie Freedom. Many times on our honeymoons, it is a time to relax,drink, and eat good food...and because I am a nerd and own hundreds of cookbooks and cooking magazines, of course I read this and am trying to relate it to the wedding world.
Basically the article was about 7 different honeymoon destinations and were some some great places are to get a good meal is at. So...because I am not able to go off to Pemberton, Western Australia, or Marrakesh, Morocco like the article suggest, I thought I would share a list of some great Milwaukee restaurants for any of those honeymooners, newly engaged, married, or single and loving it readers out there.
Also because I believe in using local products and promoting local businesses I think that this list that was in the Journal Sentinel is amazing. Click here to enjoy!


So....speaking of food

An amazing wedding was held here this past week and the centerpieces were delicious!

Check this out:
