DESSERT BARS

Dessert is the best part of any meal. Some say you should have dessert first, so you can make sure you have room for it. :) I love anything sweet, and I love beautiful decor and inspired design. Why not mix the two? 

Sweets and Dessert bars are a huge hit at weddings and parties, and we can see why. Sweet sugary delights all in one place, designed beautifully with charming take home bags...of course I'd stop by on my way out of the party! Caramels, Madeleine's, macaroons, chocolates and more. The ultimate treat bar. You can keep it simple or go all out. Either way, it will charm the pants off of your guests and have them smiling all evening. 

My friend Monica (of Dirty Bombshells) and I are endeavoring to start our own Stylishly Sweet business this year and would love for you to get involved. Do you need a sweets bar at your next event? We're ready to get started and would love to help you. While we're getting all of our business plans in line, we'd be willing to set up with plenty of awesome decor,  refill and tear down and all you need to pay for are the actual treats. We'd only do this for the first few customers of course, just to get our feet wet. We both have plenty of event planning experience for both small and large events, and we're ready to get out there and help with yours! This is a smashing deal for someone who is trying to save some money right now, or is doing their event on a budget. We'd love to help. Send me an email at featherandbranch@gmail.com and let us know what you need. We'll get back to you very soon. 

In the meantime, here is some eye candy to inspire you. Check out more on my Pinterest board here.

I DO:: WITH A LITTLE FLARE

I love wedding dresses. I could wear something sparkly and fabulous everyday, IF people didn't look at me like I was crazy. :) However, I'm more interested in the unconventional type of wedding dresses. Vintage is my thing, and that's what I would prefer over a Vera Wang (no offense to Miss Vera!). Here are some fun unconventional tips:

* Don't do the typical white! Go for blush, cream or ivory. Wear what looks good on you!
* Wear something a little shorter. Go knee or tea length. And don't forget the ruffles!
*Do sheer long sleeves. It's classy and so Kate-esque.
*Go vintage! They are typically WAY cheaper than a brand new one and extremely unique. You probably won't see 2 that are the same.

What do you think? Do you prefer conventional or unconventional? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

RUSTIC ROMANCE::PART 1

I love the idea of having a wedding reception in a beautiful old barn. The gorgeous wood colors, high ceilings, little lights strung on the rafters and vintage touches everywhere. It's my dream to one day hold my reception in a lovely old barn in the middle of the country somewhere. It may not sound all that glamorous, but I want it to feel like home. After all, that's where the heart is.

FLORAL BEAUTIES

Lately I have fallen in love with Peonys. There is something so beautiful and so romantic about these flowers. Maybe it's their large, lush round blooms or their sweet shades of pinks and creams, but whatever it is, I want them all over my house. I don't know why I wasn't more in love with them before, but now I am, and I can't get enough.

VINTAGE INSPIRED WEDDING DETAILS

I love Vintage inspired weddings. And better yet, I love when actual vintage items are used. It brings such a romance to an already special day. A romance of time gone by.
How cute is that suitcase that says "cards"? I love the sparkly letters clipped to the pockets. And the glass jars used for vases? So simple, yet so lovely! These items are being loved again, and there is nothing sweeter.
