It’s “Wedding Wednesday” at The Bon Bon and today it is all about “Cake Love”. Wedding cakes today display so much style – from classic to modern and all styles in between. Most wedding cakes are designed with three or more tiers and each tier is usually a different flavor. As with all the details of your wedding, the presentation and placement of your wedding cake is very important. Your guests are anticipating the cake-cutting time at your reception and of course they are anxious to for their first slice!

Let’s check out a few beautiful cakes by Jim Smeal!

Welcome Your Guests in Soirée Style!

It’s Wedding Wednesday at The Bon Bon and today, we’re focusing on your out-of-town guests. Here at Soirée, we love putting together guest bags and beautiful boxes filled with lots of goodies for our couple’s out-of-town guests. What better way to welcome them in to town and truly set the scene for what’s about to come.

Some of the items that we love to use are personalized bottles of water, signature cookies, visitor’s booklets, pecans, and golf balls, just to name a few. The key thing to remember, is to make it personal and to make it fun. Once your guests get back home, you want to ensure that they never forget the wonderful weekend they spent celebrating your big day!

Here are a few beautiful “goodie” bags and boxes we put together for our client’s wedding guests!

A key factor to consider when having the guest bags monogrammed, instead of using the bride and groom’s names and wedding date, consider the longevity of the bag. Will your college roommate want to carry around a bag with your initials on it? Instead, consider using the logo of the reception venue; something subtle enough to encourage your guests to reuse the bag.

The Lettered Olive: Southern Sip “N” See!

A couple of weeks ago, the wonderful Lettered Olive team and I hosted a lovely Southern Sip and See at our New York office. We had so much fun and I want to thank everyone for coming out to join us. We had the pleasure of introducing the first invitation Apps for iPads. That’s right y’all, brides will be able to browse through our entire invitation collection while they are home in their pj’s!

What a fun night we had, it was so wonderful to make so many new friends and always fun to see so many familiar faces and catch up on all the wonderful things going on in the wedding industry. Our friend and AMAZING photographer, Liz Banfield was on hand to capture some of the details, thanks Liz!
