I know I’ve mentioned my sweet teeth before (I have more than one, dontchyeaknow!). I’m back, along with those sweet teeth, and we are hard core craving some of these little pretties!! Check out these tasty works of art from Flour Pot Cookies, a company started by a mother and daughter team back in 2003. They have grown over the past few years and have racked up quite the client list: Polo Ralph Lauren, Jason Wu, Saks Fifth Avenue and The Omni Hotels to name a few! Not only have they baked for some big names, but they’ve authored their own fabulous book and are about to add another to the list.
Flour Pot Cookies has quite the bridal cookie collection. Check out a few below.
Even if you’re not looking for something like the cookies pictured above, check out some more options below. Fall wedding? Try some cookie leaves. Want something simple and classy? Try an option with your own monogram. I’ll just let you drool as you scroll down…

1. Take the night off. Long day at work? Not feeling the wedding planning vibe tonight? Let it go and do something else. Catch up on your favorite TV shows, work on a sewing project, read a good book – anything that you enjoy, other than wedding planning, of course! It will all still be there tomorrow.
2. Make a list. Write down everything you need to do. Mark a “1″ next to tasks that are both urgent and important, a “2″ next to everything that can wait until tomorrow, and a “3″ next to things that you’ll have to do sooner or later but are neither urgent or uber important. Put a star next to the tasks you can ask for help with or simply “assign” to someone else. Contact the people you’ve assigned tasks to via stars and ask for help ASAP. Most importantly, cross off your completed tasks as you complete them. This will help you stay organized and hey, it just feels good!
3. Do something that simply makes you happy. Go for a jog, volunteer at the local animal shelter, window shop. This will help get your mind off of stressful wedding situations and put you in a fabulous mood. And who doesn’t like being in a fabulous mood?
4. Take a staycation.* You don’t have to go far to get away. Take a day trip and leave your cell turned off (unless there is an emergency, of course!). Explore a new place or learn something new, or both. Being in a new place is exciting in and of itself, even if it’s just a few miles from where you live.
5. Take a nap. I’m a huge supporter of naps. I often get stressed when I’ve gotten too little sleep. Feel like you’re not getting anything accomplished during the day? Take a few minutes and just let yourself slip into sweet, sweet slumberland. 15-20 minutes should do the trick! Wake up feeling a bit refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready to get things finished!
* As a Missouri girl, I love to discover the great places all over the state. Take Hermann, Missouri for example – a quaint place between Columbia and St. Louis that offers “Old-World hospitality and the quiet charms of an earlier time. With an abundance of spectacular views, more than 150 historic buildings, quaint inn and B&Bs, world class wineries, museums, shops and galleries, and fine dining, Hermann is the perfect place for romantic retreats.” Check out one of the inns below!
