I'm back. After taking a nice, long Christmas break, I am back to business. Happy 2008 everyone! I can't believe we have just started another year. Time passes by faster and faster as I get older and older.
Several days ago, I received the winter 2008 issue of Martha Stewart Weddings magazine. On the front cover was a picture of Jessica and Cody - the couple who won Today Throws a Martha Stewart Wedding. The wedding took place on October 5, 2007. The theme was "Breakfast at Tiffany's." They were one fortunate couple to have won this fabulous wedding, especially done by Martha Stewart. I wish I could have been there. It looked truly amazing. You'll have to pick up a copy to see for yourself.
Okay, this has nothing to do with the "Breakfast at Tiffany's" wedding, but Martha in her "Good Things" section had a great idea for the bar. If you are having a signature drink at your reception, you can write up the drink recipe by either having a calligrapher do it or DIY on the computer, on colored paper that matches your color scheme. Get a small shadowbox from a crafts store (actually, Martha Stewart Crafts at Michael's has them - I just saw it yesterday), line it with a printed fabric or paper that will coordinate with the card you have the recipe on, and pin it inside the box. See the picture above. You can then stand the box on the end of the bar. Place a few rocks or mini-sandbags inside to weigh it down so it won't be easily toppled over. What a great idea - simple, yet adds a touch of elegance to enhance the ambience of your reception.
