Bling Bridal Shower! (after all, diamonds are a girl's best friend!)

I had the honor of throwing a gorgeous bridal shower over the weekend!  The bride is all about bling and fancy feathers.  This party was so much fun to decorate for!  I had a fabulous time making a cupcake stand, decorative engagement rings, and a gorgeous feather wreath!!  Take a look...

This is the cupcake stand I made for the shower!  You can rent this bling cupcake stand from me for only $30, or you can purchase one of your very own for $80.  

All of the guests were greeted at the front door with this beautiful feathery wreath!  (You can purchase your very own customized feather wreath for only $40)

I made a silver sparkly monogram for the mantel decor.  I used mini mirrored tiles to create a hanging sparkle effect.  

I made these cute oversized diamond engagement rings for decoration.  They were very cute and easy to make!  I spray painted embroidery rings and hot glued faucet handles and cabinet hardware on!  So easy and so cute!  

I cut out diamond shapes from glitter paper and used toothpicks to stick into a donut...voila!  Diamond Engagement Ring Hors D'Oeuvres! 

No detail is ever too small!  An engagement ring was dropped into every glass of champagne...yes, it was only an ice cube but it was too cute!

Sparkles! Bling! Feathers! Cupcakes! 

I ordered the cupcakes from a local bakery then I decorated them myself.  I added a giant diamond ring and a white feather behind it.  

Each guest was given this cute diamond engagement ring key chain as a favor! 

Diamonds are a girl's best friend!  

Happy Planning!

Wedding Reception Dessert Stations and Bars!

It's your wedding reception...you want to plan something fun and different to reflect your style and personality.  You are thinking of having a dessert station, but you don't want to have a simple candy bar or chocolate fountain.  

So, here are some great ideas to inspire you! 

Ice Cream Bars!

Did you know that Marble Slab will come to your wedding reception?  They will set up a fun station where your guests can create their own sundaes!  

Or, are you more into italian gelato?  Me too!  Paciugo will set up this great cart at your reception!  You pick out your favorite flavors and they will serve it!  Call Paciugo in Sundance Square in Fort Worth today!!  They will be more than happy to serve you on your wedding day!  Don't forget to tell them that Miriam Ackerman Events sent you!

Caramel Apple Bar!!  

Do you love those tasty caramel apples from rocky mountain chocolate factory?  Well, have your guests create their own!   

Cupcake stations!

Just provide the cupcakes and an assortment of fun toppings and let your guests do the rest! Yum Yum!!

Pancake Station! 

Are you on a budget but still want to have a great party?  How about planning a wedding in the morning and having a brunch for the reception?  Wedding facilities usually offer great deals for an A.M. event because they can still book the evening with another wedding.  This is a fun station that will make your guests remember how wonderful your event was!  Everyone loves pancakes!

S'mores!!  

Easy to do!  All you need is marshmallows, graham crackers, chocolate bars, skewers, and sternos!! This is a great idea for a rustic themed wedding! 

Popcorn Bar!

Do you love the mix of sweet and salty?  Me too!  One of my favorite snacks is hot popcorn with peanut m&m's mixed in!

This makes everyone happy with either sweet or salty...or, if you are like me, both!  Make sure to provide some fun popcorn seasonings and an assortment of candy.  

Whatever the station or bar you are planning to provide, just make it fun! 

Happy Planning!!!
