Sweet Luxury

If you've been to a wedding reception in recent years, you've more than likely seen your fair share of candy bars. It's a great substitute for pre-packaged favors, and gives your guests a selection of goodies to take home.

{Candy Bar: a tablescape featuring various jars & canisters filled with colorful candy.}


But why not take it to the next level? Make it a true sweets table, complete with your favorite sweet treats like cupcakes, truffles, cookies, and colorful beverages. Organize it in a way that will take their breath away - think pretty paper labels and everything lined up neatly in rows.

And don't feel like you have to wait until your wedding reception to feature a luxurious sweets table - set one out at the next baby shower, bridal shower or party you throw!

I recently held a holiday party at my house - just a small gathering of my fellow sorority sisters living {or spending the holidays} in the Indy area. I thought, what better time to try my hand at a sweets table than at a holiday party?

I called up Lori from Boldly Chic Events for help with the set-up, and I have to say I'm elated with the end result! I'm pretty sure my guests also appreciated the attention to detail & delicious treats....

Let it Snow...

There's nothing like the threat of snow flurries to snap you into the holiday spirit! Tonight's news weather segment is forecasting snow flurries tomorrow. Bring it on. =)

My husband and I have decided to venture to the mall tomorrow evening, right after our usual Friday night dinner date. We're hoping to get a head start on some holiday shopping, and I'm hoping to get some decor ideas for a {tentative} holiday gathering I'd like to plan for my girlfriends in the area.

I've also done some online research, and find myself wishing I had about 2000 more square feet in my house! I would LOVE to have the space for long tables with lovely linens, gorgeous place settings & stunning centerpieces......here's a quick rundown of some of my favorite decor ideas.....

Will you be hosting any holiday parties at your humble abode this year? What do you have in store for your guests?
