Styled Floral Favors for Martha Stewart Weddings!

Pizzazzerie featured on @MarthaWeddings

You might have seen our little news here, and I’m over-the-top excited that the feature went live on Martha Stewart Weddings! When the editors first contacted me, I was completely ecstatic. Create and style a project for MS Weddings? Of COURSE! The project features the hues from this spring’s issue – cornflower blue + melon orange. Very pretty and perfect for spring. I decided to come up with a sweet little dessert favor idea that could be used for everything from bridal shower favors to wedding favors. They’re simple and can be adjusted to fit any bride’s color palette.

Floral Truffle Favor! The treat is a coconut orange truffle nestled down in a cute frilly little flower treat holder. All “DIY” and super easy. Get the recipe + DIY details right here on Martha Weddings!

Hope you LOVE it! :)

If you missed this post on my signature cocktail, I'm doing a series of posts about my wedding details! Next up is one of my favorite elements - the scotch bar for my husband, Chris! I knew I wanted to do something special at the reception for Chris. I wasn't going to have a full "dessert" bar (I had 3 wedding cakes and push-up pops for late-night). I still wanted to have a table to style with { Continue Reading }

Sweet homemade jam for DIY wedding!

I don't share weddings too often on Pizzazzerie but when a wedding is full of tons of party details, it's a must! Especially this "Anthro-esque" fete full of pops of color and DIY details! Like the paper flower alter? OH my goodness! What a cute backdrop display this would make for all sorts of events (from baby showers to sweet 16 parties). The bride's bouquet matches perfectly and the { Continue Reading }

The election is right around the corner and we thought we'd share the "pretty" side of this election with this gorgeous election-themed wedding shoot. An absolutely charming team of vendors put together this wedding shoot (including Calligraphy Etc. who we adore). The bride was glammed up with red shoes and bouquet (I want those shoes!). As you can see, the Groom sported a bright blue bow tie to { Continue Reading }

Colorful Orange + Lime Wedding Dessert Display

So I'm one to talk because my wedding last June was loaded with black and white details (I did have some green in there though!), however, I think color is a fun way to add little pops of pizzazz throughout your wedding. In this gorgeous dessert display, Amy of One Divine Party used a pallete of orange, yellow and lime green. Doesn't that just scream "foot loose + fancy free" summer wedding? So { Continue Reading }

Hi, ya'll! Just about two weeks until my wedding! Holy WOWEE! How did it arrive so soon? Whew. Anyway, when I'm not doing Pizzazzerie or other work (or trying to get my new house in some sort of order), I'm full-on wedding mode. Yesterday was meeting with the chapel organist, this evening is hotel gift baskets, tomorrow is getting bridesmaid gift's wrapped. The fun never ends, haha! I asked { Continue Reading }

Signature Cocktail Ideas for Parties + Weddings!

signature cocktails for weddings and events

I've been in love with the idea of "signature cocktails" for quite some time. They're a unique way to add a touch of "you" to a party by serving your favorite drink or enhance the theme of the party by serving up a coordinating cocktail. Weddings are a great event for signature cocktails (have the bartenders pre-pour several trays of your signature cocktail so guests can pick them right up). With { Continue Reading }

I'm knee-deep in planning my wedding and of course, loving every minute! I should be spending *more* minutes on it, however, but the book deal and other projects have me pretty slammed. That's where my love for Custom Paper Works comes in. Kate is a design genius. I first worked with Kate on my "Midnight" Themed New Years Eve shoot last year, and my jaw dropped when she sent me the paper goods { Continue Reading }
