Sunday Inspirations | Social Hour Fun

May 18 | Signature Drinks | by Cynthia

Looking to add some special touches to your wedding? Social Hours are a great way to jazz up your day. They are normally 45 minutes to an hour long, so you have a limited time to make an impression. A signature drink is a great way to treat your guests!  Whether your taste leans towards a fruity, umbrella-type of cocktail or straight up whisky on the rocks,  this is the perfect time to have fun.  

We love these "made-for" drinks that not only look good in the glass, but taste good, too!

Wedding Inspirations | Popcorn Bars

If you are looking for a fun, alternative approach to wedding food or favors, then a popcorn bar might be the way to go! These pretty, little popcorn bars also double up as a favor and snack food after a long night of dancing. Popcorn bars gives your guests the opportunity to have a sweet or salty snack - or both! You could also provide a paper baggie or sack for guests to scoop some popcorn into as a tasty wedding favor.

Food Love will be setting up a fabulous popcorn bar at this Saturday's Preferred Bridal Show in Carroll at Santa Maria Winery. Make sure you check it out from 12-3, we just know it is going to be delicious! We now leave you with some wonderful popcorn bar inspiration for you to enjoy until Saturday (when you can enjoy the real thing!)

Wedding Inspirations | French Macarons

Bring a little bit of Paris into your wedding with these tasty little French macarons! What is a macaron you ask? A macaron is a light, airy French almond meringue cookies filled with yummy fillings. They come in a variety of colors and flavors and are oh so tasty! These beauties can serve a double purpose on your wedding day as well. Box them up with pretty ribbon and send them home with your guests as a favor or use them as an escort card!

Wedding Inspirations | A Little Sunshine for Today

We love the sunshine, so a "sunny" daffodil is perfect to brighten the day.
These couples decided to add lots of sunshine to their weddings and we couldn't agree more with their choices!  We are smitten with the daffodil favors and chair "love."
