Cocktail Hour - Fifties Wedding

Today for Cocktail Hour I am going to send you across to Fifties Wedding blog for some delicious recipes from the 1950's.  Enjoy The Vesper, asked for by James Bond in Casino Royale or perhaps you'll prefer a Classic Champagne Cocktail or a Daquiri.

Helping Hand

Whilst the best part of any party is the planning there are times when we could all do with a little helping hand.  Perhaps you are completly stuck for ideas on a theme or have a theme and are trying to find a specific cake or decoration.

Once a week I will have a 'Helping Hand' post for people to leave a comment with something they need help with, whether it's for a wedding or party.  I will then choose one or two 'cries for help' and make my own suggestions and then invite you, my lovely readers to help aswell and leave a suggestion.

So I now ask if you to leave a comment if you are stuck with something in your planning....

Happy Anniversary - Cards

On Sunday my husband and I will be celebrating our Wedding Anniversary.  Whislt those that are superstitious may think Friday the Thirteenth is bad date for a wedding my husband and I are proof that it is not. We married on Friday the Thirteenth, exactly thirteen years ago so in some ways it seems quite a significant year! 

For todays post I thought I would share some anniversary cards I would send my fabulous husband.  He is an amazing man who really is my other half, without him I would not be whole.  I adore him.

Continuing from yesterdays post which offered ideas for butterfly themed stationery and decorations I thought we could look for some delicious cakes that are adorned with these fluttery friends.

Inspiration - Butterflies

A love of vintage is still evident in trends for parties and weddings and incorporated in this theme is butterflies.  Adding a little bit of magic these beautiful creatures are replicated to adorn cakes or jewellery and take flight across beautiful stationery.  The butterfly theme is perfect for weddings, parties, bridal or baby showers and will work as a whole theme or as an accompaniment to a main theme. 

Today we will focus on stationery and decorations that have butterfly themes.
