Move over cake and hello forgotten sweets! I guess Marie was wrong when she said “let them eat cake”, because now they want a whole assortment of confectionery delights. This year the buzz on the street for wedding treats is the “dessert bar”. Couples all over are setting up huge spreads at their wedding for desserts. No longer will we wonder weather or not to have a slice of cake, now we can just indulge in decadence. (more…)

As if the term “Engagement” doesn’t freak men out enough, now we have the Mangagement. The wedding industry never ceases to amaze me on their ability to develop some new scheme to generate revenue. The new plot… engagement rings for men. Now you can mark your fiance before you wed. You can tell women to “back off’ with a “mangagement” ring for him, or if he is moving too slow in popping the question, beat him to the punch!

This is the second installment we are doing on the “green wedding” movement. Hopefully you enjoyed our first blog , Who new GREEN could be so Yummy?. This time I would like to take the opportunity to talk about your bridal fashion. There are a lot of designers making green gowns, and are relatively affordable (between $600-$2,000). Most designers are literally taking materials directly from the earth. Making their designs from natural materials like; hemp silk, recycled cotton, vintage lace, and bamboo which can be used for structure and to make various fabrics. What a great way to help decrease our carbon footprints. Who knew being eco-chic could be so beautiful! (more…)
