Cheesecake lollipops are the latest trend in decadent desserts. They’re a great addition to a “dessert tapas” table for large-scale events, or as finger food for a baby or bridal shower. For those DIY hosts out there, click on the photo for the step-by-step instructions on how to make your own cheesecake lollipops. Feast your eyes on these!

A Brilliant Wedding: Lorraine & Dave

Sarah — Mon, 10 May 2010 12:03:11 +0000

We couldn’t resist sharing these final shots of Lorraine & Dave’s big day. We brought in the Cold Stone Creamery team to feature an ice cream station…it was a huge hit! Another highlight of the evening was their first dance – a choreographed dance of “New York, New York” mixed with “Dirty Water” that dazzled their guests and really set a fun tone for the evening. And finally, a private moment shared between the newlyweds in the wings of the theater. Congratulations Lorraine & Dave!

Coaster-Inspired Wedding

I came across this beautiful coaster by Nectar Ale at a local pub and loved the color palette so much that had to create an inspiration board for it! Just goes to show that your event inspiration can come from anywhere.

Escort Card Tree Challenges

Sarah — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 15:22:15 +0000

We love trees and branches as a dramatic touch for any event. But, when it comes to escort cards, hanging tags on a tree isn’t the best route. Since it’s not in a logical, alphabetical order, guests won’t be able to “grab & go” and it will create a bottleneck.

If you have your heart set on an escort card tree, split it up into a few trees and label them with ranges of letters (i.e. A-L, M-P, Q-Z, etc.). Or, you can use the tree concept to display special photos and mementos.
