BOW TIES & RIBBONS

found at finishingtoucheventdesign.blogspot.com

I will say with absolutely no doubt about it, that my favorite

wedding trend of the YEAR 2011 is ribbons and bow ties.

I personally adore Ribbons

They are fun!!!

But what is even funnier is that

bow ties, which usually date me back to my grandpa,

something like: back in the days .... (you get the idea).

Getting back to the point, when I see Bow ties

I not only see someone who is daring to do something

different but it ALSO looks and feels Young & Fresh.

So this is what its all about giving your

wedding that sense of fresh, young and fun

every couple wants to transmit to their

friends and family.

I really hope this post inspires you

to use ribbons & bow ties, you can use them

fon decoration, just as a backdrop in your wedding ceremony

or as a very chic accessory.

My confession:

I am a ribbon lover.

CUPCAKES AND MAKEUP

are my inspiration for this post.

So my sister's BFF is in town and they decided to have a girls night out.

I brought home some delicious carrot cake cupcakes and as they were getting ready to go out we had so much fun I came up with a GREAT idea for an activity to do with your bridesmaids on the days prior to your wedding.

Usually on Destination Weddings (and other weddings too) you get people (friends and family) who are on your bridesmaids list but maybe they don't get to hang very often or some of them don't know the rest of the group very well.

So this is my great idea:

CUPCAKES AND MAKE UP

at your suite/hotel room/house.

You can arrange for a professional make up artist to come and give you tips on how to do your own make up, which colors are the best for your skin type and you can all have fun, and SAVE one night to stay in and you can even get Cookie and cupcake flavored martinis (they have the same calories) and have a great night.

GREAT FOR BACHELORETTE SHOWERS ALSO.

TRUST ME SWEET & COLOR WILL ALWAYS BE A GREAT COMBINATION FOR A GET TOGETHER. It's a sleep over with a twist: GLAMOUR!
