Party Planning: A Bachelorette Bash October 4, 2011

One of my best friends is getting married in less than two weeks, and I am hosting Part II of her bachelorette festivities.  Part I took place in August, and we rented a cabin for the weekend.  It was quite the time.  Now, on to the sequel!

Her wedding colours are red and brown – or chocolate and cherry as I like to say -  (I shared some wedding inspiration Bash Boards with you a while ago) so I’m going to incorporate that palette, as well as white, into the party atmosphere.

This is the Bash Board for the event:

Lots of fun ideas and pops of colour.  I can’t wait!  I’ll be sure to share some images from the partay afterwards.

Brilliant Bash: Ladies’ Afternoon Tea September 30, 2011

A friend of mine recently became a Mary Kay consultant.  To help support her in her new venture, and to find a fun way to get us girls together on a weekend day, I planned a Ladies’ Afternoon Tea.  And who am I kidding?  I just love entertaining!

This was a low-key afternoon affair, so I didn’t go all-out with decor and such.  I kept it simple with some tasty treats and colour coordinated flowers and napkins (pink, for Mary Kay, of course).

I set up my butler’s pantry with tea mugs and assorted teas.  The dining room table was the place to be, with tea biscuits, jams and spreads, cucumber sandwiches, fancy cupcakes, and buttercream dipped doughnuts (coloured in pink food colouring to go with the Mary Kay theme).

Assorted Delights

Tea for Five

Cupcakes and Tea Biscuits

DIY Dipped Doughnuts (Easy!)

Mary Kay Magic

Sunday Afternoon Splendour

It was a lovely way to spend the afternoon with friends: treats, makeup, lots of hot tea, and sun pouring in through the windows.  Maxin’ relaxin’.

Vendor Spotlight: The Bridal Suite August 22, 2011

Filed under: Uncategorized — brilliantbash @ EDT

A new wedding boutique has recently opened in St. John’s, Newfoundland.  The owners of the ever-popular and stylish  Twisted Sisters Boutik have entered the wedding world with an accessories-focused shop located just upstairs in their 175 Water Street location in downtown St. John’s.

The Bridal Suite specialises in wedding fascinators, veils, jewellery and personal adornments of all sorts.  The atmosphere in The Bridal Suite is intimate, calming, and oh-so-exquisite.  The decor is crisp and chic, and evokes the feeling that you’ve been invited into a glamorous lady’s dressing room.  The only oddity is the “no shoes” policy – perhaps they should suggest you bring along your slippers?

For more information and to book an appointment, please visit the Bridal Suite blog, and check out their Facebook page here.  Welcome to the wedding world, Twisted Sisters!
