My love for GREEN

Green is probably one of my favorite colors...so obviously, I love St. Patrick's Day!

We are celebrating both St. Patty's Day and my husband's birthday with a small brunch before the big Baton Rouge St. Patrick's Day Parade on Saturday.

Although I promised not to do anything too "cutesy"...of course, I'll have some fun details to show off!

Until then, enjoy some of these fabulous green details that I just LOVE...

The Groom's Cake

A fabulous wedding tradition is the groom's cake. Typically smaller and more "festive" than the actual wedding cake, the groom's cake is a gift from the bride to the groom. This is a special way to highlight any hobbies, talents or interests of the groom and it can be a neat way to include him in the wedding festivities.

Now, traditionally, the groom's cake was cut and put immediately into small boxes or envelopes for the guests, especially single women, to take home and "dream on". Literally...put under their pillows! Today, this isn't as common and the groom's cake is simply served for the guests to enjoy that evening.

I love how creative you can get with the groom's cakes. You know how much I love it when bride's think out of the box...check out some locals I L.O.V.E....

{Blissful Inspiration} The Signature Cocktail

Whether you are looking to add a creative twist to a shower, social event or wedding, adding a signature cocktail to your bar is a fun way to go. From martinis to frozen drinks to various teas, this little something extra at your party will go a long way with your guests.

Start your cocktail hour off right with your signature drink being butler passed among the guests:

Going on a tropical honeymoon? Give your guests a sneak-peak with similarly-themed drinks:

Bring your color scheme over to the bar with bright, eye-catching drinks:

Getting married when it is chilly? Think about hot chocolate or coffee:

Lastly, have fun with the drink cards! Give your drinks a catchy name and go wild with the presentation.

Clearly the options are ENDLESS! So have fun and get those creative juices flowing!

{Inspiration} Some Tasty Color!

Although classic and stunning, your wedding cake doesn't have to be limited to the traditional white fondant or buttercream. Get creative and add some color! The Groom's Cake doesn't have to be the only fun cake at the reception!
