• I’m not much one for smoking…anything, really. But I do, as much as I may not wish to admit it, like the idea of a cigar bar for a wedding reception. So what exactly IS a cigar bar? Well, you can kind of fit “it” to your needs. Bring in a cigar roller and have him (or her) work throughout the reception making cigars for your guests (usually the males…). Or, bring in a few boxes of different cigars and set them out, almost like you would a dessert table, and allow guests to brows. If you want to go all out, have an attendant there to assist guests in selecting and preparing the...

  • It has been quite a trend lately, to set up a Cigar Bar during the reception. It is best if your reception is in the "great outdoors" and a corner of the venue can be dedicated to this enjoyable addition to a wonderful evening. Include wonderfully aged Scotch or delicious Ports to accompany the assortment of cigars and cigarillos and be sure to include ash trays, cigar cutters (several of them), lighters, and a few comfortable chairs or lounge furniture. And, if you believe the Cigar Bar is frequented by just the men... think again! Many of the women enjoy savoring a Cuban Honey! Let the smoki...

    We had a client who did a "farewell bar" that we though was such an awesome-tastic idea!  They had candy, cookies, brownies, and little bottles of water for their guests to grab as they left the wedding!  What a fun way to send off your guests! Different than a Candy Bar.... this had Jelly Beans, Mini Cakes, Brownies, and Red Bull! How fun! Link: {bar 1}{bar 2}...

    I had this great idea for a "bubbly bar" that I think would be a super fun detail for a wedding!  You could have all different champagne, different flavored foams, and different fruits to add too!  How cute and fun would that be? We need a client to do this! Links: {champagne bar}{fruit}...

    Some of our fabulous clients had this wonderful idea for a "Carb Bar"!  They asked on their invitations for guests to send in the response their favorite snack/candy, and they took the top choices and put those in their carb bar!  They had white cheddar popcorn, goldfish, M&M's, snickers, and so much more!  What a fun way to include your guests in your reception, and you could provide decorative boxes to fill as favors!

    Blogger: Adam Kent Photography by: Henry & Masci Photography Open bar or cash bar? Every budget and every wedding is different, so the right choice may not be as clear cut as you’d like. If you have a lot of guests flying in for the wedding, making them pay for their own drinks may leave a bad taste in their mouths after extensive (read: expensive) travel. If you have the money and can treat your guests to a fantastic time, an open bar can be a great way to show your appreciation for their effort to celebrate with you. Obviously an open bar is expensive, and if money is a co...

    Today is all about sweet treats…those perfect little sweet details that make your wedding special. And when Liz Green wrote to me about her newly launched company, Bar Candy, I knew I had to share. It’s such a fun, innovative concept and if you can swing it, one that would certainly be a hit at any wedding… In a nutshell, Liz took her love of mixology to a new level creating these fabulous edible cocktail glasses. They come in chocolate, white chocolate, peanut butter cup, and colored white chocolate and are offered in hues to match any palette. Ummm, how cool is that? She also sells...
