Not your typical topper.

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

The typical bride and groom cake toppers are going by the wayside these days, in favor of more unique toppers to reflect the couples’ personalities. Today I want to showcase some awesome unique toppers from WeddingCollectibles.com.

Monogram toppers are a popular choice.

Or maybe you are an animal lover or want something cute.

If you are having your wedding at Nashville Shores or a destination wedding, there are several beach-themed toppers to choose from.

What is a signature drink?

Monday, March 3rd, 2008
Maybe your alcohol budget isn’t big, but you still want to serve cocktails. Or maybe you just want to incorporate your color scheme into your drinks. Whatever your reasoning, having a signature drink is a fun way to bring your personality, theme, or colors into the bar. You can serve just one signature drink or have several for your guests to choose from. The choice is yours! It’s a very cost effective way to have cocktails at your reception without paying for a full bar. All you need is the ingredients to your drink(s).

First, decide on the kind of drink you want. Is vodka a favorite of you and your fiance? Do you want a red cocktail to match your color scheme? You can get ideas on drinkalizer.com, where you can view drink recipes by liquor type or even color. Or work with your bartenders or a mixologist to prepare a unique drink just for you.

After you’ve chosen your drink, give it a name. Something that is memorable and, again, exhibits your personalities. Get creative!
