Not only is cotton eco-friendly, it also provides comfort. When people think of weddings, they typically think of silk, satin, taffeta, and tulle; but cotton fits right in and has multi uses.

Inspiration Station- Liquid Nitrogen Drinks

Posted in Uncategorized

I was never one for science and chemistry, but I do know that incorporating liquid nitrogen into your liquor or ice cream bar will cause a positive chemical reaction with your guests.

The average temperature of liquid nitrogen is approximately -320 degrees (fahrenheit). It works by freezing drinks solid and then infusing them with more flavor as they thaw. The presentation alone is one of a kind, and the end result is jammed packed with flavor and quality which can’t be beat.

Inspiration Station- Favor Place Cards

Posted in Uncategorized

Have you ever gone to an event where there were at least 3 drinking glasses, 2 forks, 2 spoons, a knife, a charger plate, a dinner plate, and an appetizer plate just for one setting?!? And then on top of that centerpieces, candles, rose petals, a table number, and a bread basket!

If you understand where I’m going you’re probably smiling and nodding your head while you read this. Needless to say, no matter how beautiful a tablescape may be, things can get cluttered rather quickly. Favors placed at the dining table look elegant, but if for some reason you find yourself needing to spare room, consider incorporating them into your place card table.

I happen to like these because not only do they make practical favors, but you could also have them hanging from a real Christmas tree or branches adding to the decor of your place card table!

No matter if it’s coasters, boxed candy, luggage tags, or a bottle of champagne, it can be turned into a place card with the proper personalization tag.
