    Have you seen these cakes from Dean & Deluca? They make me want to throw a party just to order one of the cakes. The Spring Affair Cake, below on left, {from Cakework} is perfect for intimate weddings or an engagement party and the Dogwood Lemon Cake, below on right, is so cute for a bridal shower. And, while the photos are beautiful and look delicious, you've just got to head over to Dean & Deluca to read the mouth-watering descriptions. Yummy! {I only wish the site listed the ingredients for those with allergies}shown above: Coconut Passion Fruit Cake and Vanilla Bean Raspberry Cake ...

     Yesterday I stopped at Dean & DeLuca to get breakfast on my way home from our lovely wedding in St. Helena. I hadn't been in awhile and was reminded how visually beautiful it is. I used to love visiting the Dean & DeLuca in Soho when I lived in New York City -- buying anything there felt like such a treat. Now, 10 years later, there are obviously many competing gourmet food stores, but I still love Dean & DeLuca. Here are a few pictures of things I loved in the store yesterday -- take a look at how everything is so well coordinated and how the food really pops because they're...

    Unique, personal favors or wedding parting gifts are the perfect way to truly thank your guests for celebrating your bridal shower or your big day with you. They've often traveled far and wide to be there and perhaps learn more about your soon-to-be hubby or wife.  So it's especially great if you choose a favor that both coordinates with your wedding or shower's style and feel, and also says a little something about you, too! Lucky for you, WeddingFavors.org has got you covered... and they are even offering a special discount to Bridal Bar readers! But what to get?!?!  One thing ...

    I used to work for a Promotional Printing company. You name it, they could slap your logo/design on it. I saw a lot of wedding favor items come and go through that place – Bags, Towels, Wine Glasses, Wine Corks, etc, etc, etc. I don’t know if it’s a product of me seeing so many of these items or what – but I do not want a little trinket sitting at my wedding tables for guests to take home. No offense to anyone that does love these, they’re just not quite my and Olive Dude’s style. So – what does that leave us with? Well, I’ve actually stumbled ac...

    Sometimes I wonder what a winter wedding would have been like...and how fantastically romantic it could be.  The warm glow of candles and sparkling twinkle lights are not just decoration, they are a part of the magical landscape this time of year. I've been to a wedding at Christmas time, and I thought about that pretty little wedding the other day when we decorated our tree.  Ornaments were given to each guest...what perfect wedding favors!  I am a big fan of favors that have a post-wedding use.  (We gave outdoor birdseed ornaments at our wedding...a theoretically n...

    In keeping with tradition, I am often asked by brides and grooms what to buy as wedding favors for their guests. It can be difficult to find something unique and personalized without adding another large expense to the already mounting wedding budget. Here are some ideas guaranteed to please your guests without breaking the bank: • Give away the centerpieces: Tie a small ribbon (or other special marker) to one chair at each table to denote the lucky recipient. The centerpieces have already been paid for and now some lucky guests have a great floral display for their home! • Expand upon a ...
