A Candy Affair

Someone my family knows was married last Saturday and instead of doing a traditional dinner/ cake reception she chose the candy/dessert buffet route instead. I have noticed this is becoming a popular trend for weddings and to be honest I think this is such a unique idea! Your guests can select from various candies you have beautifully displayed and then get to take those treats home in a customized bag or box! I love this idea so much that I am trying to persuade my older sister to use it for her wedding next March!

Inspiration everywhere!!

Well...it has been a few days since I last posted...I have been so busy! I have been trying to reorganize my wedding info. for brides and I am also caught up in helping my sister choose a color scheme for her big day! I made a red and yellow board for her and wanted to share!! I like the yellow the best! Although maybe I should consider that yellow is NOT my color and that I would get stuck wearing it! :) Oh well..yellow is such a happy color...ENJOY!!

My Birthday!

Well, March is a fabulous month because MY birthday is the 29th! And, I suppose I could aslo mention that my little sister, my sister in law, and two of my good friends ALSO have March birthdays. Just fabulous I tell ya! It is a great excuse for cake, cards, presents, candies, and flowers!

I spent the first part of my day shopping with my mom and had a great time! Sometimes window shopping suffices my urge to spend! And, what is better than a homemade card and a delicious salad from The Cheesecake Factory!

That evening, like every year my sister in law (who is amazing, and is also my friend, not just my sister in law) and I shared our celebration by having dinner and cake at my in-laws. It is always a blast because her little rascals crack us up and we get to eat, laugh, and be thankful for the awesome family we have!

In addition to this, my friends Meghan and Patty and their husbands Shaun and Alex came down to Cincinnati to visit Jesse and I for a birthday dinner! We went to one of our favorite restaraunts, Pompilios. It was great to catch up with them, laugh, and make some new memories.

Here are some pictures from my weekend...I will be posting about my little sister's 21st birthday celebration next! :)
