I saw this cute little wedding photographed by Linda Chaja and I loved their buffet. It was the cutest little candy buffet and to make it even cuter they had these letters that spelled out love.

I heart candy canes!

I thought this craft was so cute and easy for favors. All you do is buy mini candy canes and melt them slightly in the oven and then place a sucker stick in the middle. They would make really cute party favors for your guests. Check out the complete instructions on this blog.

DIY pie, I don’t know about you but I’m still loving left over pie!

blue — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 04:29:29 +0000

As you can tell from my absence from my lovely blog that I had a really great Thanksgiving! And one of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving is pie! I love it, and I always save room for it. My husband never saves room for dessert and it baffels me. It’s not like pie on Thanksgiving is a surprise. Just writing about pie makes me want to get up and grab a slice. I did have a pie bake off with my sister-in-law this year and if I do say so myself I make a pretty tasty pie crust! I decided to share my recipe in case reading this post made you feel like eating pie too!

Pie Crust

2 cups flour

1 cup shortening

1/2 cup water

2 teaspoons salt

and for you math wizards out there that’s twice as much flour as shortening, twice as much shortening as water, and as many teaspoons salt as you have cups flour… It’s an easy recipe to double.

To bridezella or not bridezella?

blue — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 19:03:31 +0000

One of the hardest parts of my actual wedding day was being appreciative of all the hard work and nice things my family and friends were doing for me. It’s your day right? The one day you have been planning all your life. And of course you do deserve to have it be a perfect day for you, well kind of. I can’t think of a family that wouldn’t want to give their bride a perfect day, but I also can’t think of a family that could actually pull it off! My mom was amazing and spent countless hours of time making my cake and flowers. And while I love my bouquet and the time my mom spent on it, it looked nothing like the one in Martha Stewart that I showed her. The cake while beautiful, soon had smear marks in it from where my new nieces and nephews sampled the frosting for me. My hair, done by friend of my mom, wasn’t exactly like I dreamed. I wanted big barrel curls piled on top of my head and at one point she said, “My grandma always had me do her hair like this.” And when she was done I kinda felt like I looked like her grandma. And while it might not have been what I really wanted, I remember thinking it was so nice of her to get up at six in the morning and do my hair. I even remember being slightly annoyed that my husband felt sick–like he could help that? Looking back on my wedding day, I feel great love for the work my family did for me. I’d rather have the bouquet my mom made me than an expensive one from the store. It means more. I look back at the little things I said or thought that were critical and I feel great remorse for any feelings I might have hurt. Weddings are a celebration of two families coming together. And that is beautiful. I would highly suggest trying not to be a Bridezella, but if you are going to be a Bridezella at least take some awesome photos. I love the ones down bellow. brought to you by blue light bride a bridal blog for every utah wedding

I’m game! Sweet engagement shots with Scrabble!

I had a friend of mine propose with Scrabble tiles. I thought it was sweet since they loved playing Scrabble together. It’s so cute when couples express there personalities with their engagement photos. Scrabble was a great choice to use since you can spell out your names or your wedding date.

Local Utah wedding with tons of DIY details.

I’m so glad that I stumbled upon this Wedding. Judy the bride had a great eye for details and did a lot of them by hand. Judy’s friend Chantry Adams arranged all her flowers and Judy wrapped her bouquet with ribbon and attached a pin that belonged to her grandmother. Her cute little tea length dress was hand-made and commissioned from a local dress maker. Instead of a DJ the couple had music playing via i-tunes hooked up to a computer w/ speakers, and guests could request songs by using an i-tunes application. Judy also used recycled jars and vintage vases for their centerpieces. And, as you can tell from my previous post, I loved their cookie cake made by dough girl. The rest of the food was made by family and friends. The bride is a designer and the groom a photographer…they were brilliant in all of their planning, including their orange and antique teal color scheme, and also leaving lots of time for doing unique photos…All of these photo were taken by the amazing Karen at Brown Mouse Photography.

DIY Bird Cake Topper

blue — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:56:29 +0000

First of all I have to thank my sister, Julie, for all of you who have stopped by to say hi from her blog. And thanks to all of you for your support! I had no idea my big sis was so popular…I would have never guessed it growing up with her! hee hee. But I have always looked up to her and she has taught me many things. Thanks Julie! utah wedding blog, utah bridal blog that does really cute diy projects for brides in utah!

Here is the post I promised yesterday about how to make a diy bird cake topper. For all of Julie’s friends–I’ll have you know that she wanted birds on her cake. Infact I think she even had birds on her cake. I really can’t remember. I just remember going to store after store looking for them! Married for 12 some odd years and didn’t even know she was setting trends!Utah wedding blog, Utah bridal blog that does really cute diy projects for brides in Utah!

All of my supplies were bought at Dollar Tree. The total cost of this project is right around $3. Pretty impressive!

Here are all the supplies you will need. I bought them all at Dollar Tree. The birds were Christmas Ornaments so they might be a seasonal item.

You will need to make a royal icing. Mine was 2 egg whites to 3 cups powdered sugar and then mix well. I would suggest making it with more sugar so that it is stiffer and isn’t as runny.

Place your wreath on the center of your iced Styrofoam.

I think if I was better at icing this might have been cuter, but I basically just globed on a little pile of icing so that one bird could be up a little higher.

The ornament hanger simply popped out when I pulled on it. Then I put the birds on my icing piles.

Put it on top of your cake.

Having a reception in a cultural hall this winter? Don’t be embarrassed–embrace it! So instead of a faux ceiling hiding the basketball hoop, why not take photos in front of it? Great and fun photos can be taken anywhere. And necessity brings out some of the best creativity.
