I love this photograph more than words can describe. Found it on Tobi Fairley’s Flicker. And, if you don’t know who Tobi Fairley is, you most certainly should check her out!

I love sweets – candies, cakes, cookies, you name it. In fact, I think all of my teeth are sweet (I just love sugar that much)! That’s why I was thrilled when Thea from the Gumdrop Cookie Shop contacted me about her fabulous cookies! I agreed to sample a few if she sent some my way – I figured cookies that had gone through the mail just wouldn’t be as tasty and didn’t want to talk up something I had never tried. But, when my samples arrived, I gobbled them down with no problem. Yum yum!
Let me tell you a bit more about the Gumdrop Cookie Shop. They are all about customized sugar cookies. They have done, and can do, just about anything! Special messages, designs, logos, photos, monograms – the list goes on. They are popular for weddings, showers, birthday parties, anniversaries and company events. I think they would also be great for wedding professionals to have in their shops or to pass out at bridal shows.
Here are a few examples of the fabulous things the Gumdrop Cookie Shop has to offer!

Monogram “Prominent”
Custom Brides
Get your own fabulous, customized cookies! They are sold by the dozen and are quite delicious.

I love pretty things. But then again, who doesn’t?! Weddings are all about pretty things, no matter what a couple’s exact tastes are. But most of all I love the “pretty” that can be found in the unexpected. If you’re a wedding professional, you know how important it is to showcase your previous work to potential clients, whether it’s on your website, brochures, other promotional items, or simply your portfolio. To really impress those potentials, try taking your portfolio presentation to another level. That’s where ChrisQ’s Luxe Slipcovers comes in.
Christina contacted me about the creations she designs and makes, that have become really popular with photographers. I’ll admit, I’m a sucker for fabric (having worked at a fabric store during high school and loving to sew). So when I saw the little works of art, I asked if she ever did them for wedding planners (because hey, we like to show off our work too!). She liked the idea, and created one just for me! See it just below. And on another note, I told her my company uses shades of pink and circles a lot – and look how cleverly she worked both in!
Is it not just the classiest, yet fun and chic, thing you have ever seen? I wish you could feel it. The fabric is thick and luxurious (I believe a nice upholstery fabric for the outside and a lining of dupioni silk – to die for). When I pulled it out of the fabulously wrapped packaging, I couldn’t put it down!
So let me tell you a little more about ChrisQ. Christina started making these slipcovers for her husband’s clients (he is a fabulous photographer in the DFW area). They were a hit with his brides and she has been creating them ever since. If you’re wanting to get your hands one one (which you should!), check out her selection of standard and deluxe slipcovers. Want something different? Something that you and you alone will have? Go custom. Christina makes the process simple.
Here is a photograph of the designer herself. I definitely recommend contacting her if you’re looking for a way to showcase your work (for the wedding professionals out there) or if you want something extra special to keep your memories in (for the brides out there). These would also make wonderful gifts from photographers to their brides or just to a couple from a loving friend or family member. Check out her site, ChrisQ.com, or shoot her an email, christina_quintanilla@yahoo.com. You won’t regret it!

Talk about an interesting concept. I saw this post over at WeddingBee by Miss Sea Breeze. I could not help but to investigate further.
Imagine dining with twenty two of you friends or business associates, getting married, or just watching something entertaining 120 (or more) feet up in the air. Interested? Then you should check out Events In The Sky. This company hoists people up into the air via crane, in numerous locations around the world, for a few hours of dining, wedding, or entertainment in the sky. No worries, everyone is strapped to their seats or attached by harnesses so there is no falling off the platform!
The company has a few divisions: Dinner in the Sky, Meetings in the Sky, ShowBiz in the Sky, and Marriage in the Sky. “Sky” events can be found all over the world, but as far as finding some locations in the US? Currently, your options are Orlando and Las Vegas.
Check out their main site for more info! Any readers out there participated in an Events in the Sky production?
