Where did they originate from? What is the meaning? Why do we do it and necessarily needed on top of a wedding cake? Sure of course most average people might not ask these question out loud and have long drawn out conversations about the subject. But we do!<br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">One of the first things a bride always wants to see first is her <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">cake</span>. She walks straight up to it and admires it's beauty. As we all know Wedding cakes are elaborate constructions, each is unique and individual to the bride and grooms personality. Us here in the south also have grooms cakes but that is an entirely different subject.</span> <span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Adorning</span> the top of the cake is the topper, which is the <span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">cherry</span> on top!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">H</span><span style="font-family:arial;">ere is a brief history on the wedding <span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">cake and topper</span>: </span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">A classic form was commercially established in Britain and the United States in the early years of the twentieth century. An exceptionally large, rich fruit cake, as much as twelve inches in diameter and twenty pounds in weight, was used as a base for pillars supporting a similar but smaller cake. A third, still smaller cake layer was mounted on another set of pillars above that. The three tiers were each covered with hard white "royal" icing, which also was used for a characteristically formal decoration of piped icing. The whole was crowned with flowers, natural or in a variety of artificial materials, or a limited range of other appropriate ornamentation that might also adorn the sides.<br /><br /></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7x44RBOzUR6xJ2oYOKCWuUZcUr2CqJ7uzGeu33Mh1gF4aocaHtIencJw3E59WFtR2zVa8cQjNZjh3XR1LLPZNv__FT9-Rbf0CNhzWw2Yn85Gnf0FnytNDI2EjrHRCsMpTju2Pb_TLE73e/s1600/vintage-cake-table.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 196px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7x44RBOzUR6xJ2oYOKCWuUZcUr2CqJ7uzGeu33Mh1gF4aocaHtIencJw3E59WFtR2zVa8cQjNZjh3XR1LLPZNv__FT9-Rbf0CNhzWw2Yn85Gnf0FnytNDI2EjrHRCsMpTju2Pb_TLE73e/s320/vintage-cake-table.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470206981166945522" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;">So we find ourselves in the year 2010, lets take a brief look at the wedding cake topper and how it has evolved.

We are truly in awe of their vision and dream -- that turned reality -- and were <span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 0);">thrilled </span>to be a small part of it.<br /><br />Blake & Becca were married at the <span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">beautiful </span><a href="http://www.thefilterbuilding.com/">Filter Building on White Rock Lake</a>. It is a perfect location for your 'i-do's'; rich with Dallas-Style history to <span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);">boot</span>.<br /><br />Luckily, the inside of the Filter Building is as beautiful as the outside. Plan A was to have the wedding outside on the lawn, overlooking the <span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">beautiful </span>lake. Plan B was to have the wedding on the patio over looking the beautiful <span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">lawn </span>(mentioned in Plan A) and the beautiful lake. Plan C was to arrange everything inside the building, while looking out of the <span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);">windows </span>to the patio, lawn and beautiful lake. Rain was in the forecast; although we hadn't seen any. The call was made to move everything inside... and the bride and groom couldn't have been any happier with the decision. Who wouldn't be with great <span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">options </span>all around?!<br /><br />But what was really <span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">refreshing </span>about our wonderful couple were all of the details they put in to the wedding. We honestly can't take any credit for the design aspect of the below photos. They had a dream and we were there to set it up and turn that dream in to <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">reality</span>!<br /><br />Speaking of photos... <a href="http://www.bellapop.com/">Bella Pop</a> did an amazing job of not only capturing these one-of-a-kind details but also in showing the <span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 204);">love </span>that Becca & Blake share.

Everyone wants to put their own personal spin on their special day. From ceremony to reception there are many opportunities to make the your wedding day your own. However, with that being said we understand you want to make your wedding day unique and special to you and your groom, but there are certain trends you should keep in mind. There are some trends that you might want to consider when choosing the details of your day. Staying current on fashion, colors, and even hair styles will help you in the right direction and will ignite your creative thinking</span>.
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Our most favorite new trend is brides wearing a colored funky heel. What gal doesn't love a great pair of shoes? From flowers to jewels the sky is the limit on shoe possibilities. It really brings out your personality and helps you coordinate with your wedding color pallet. Why not even let your bridesmaids in on the fun? Let them be creative with their shoes or even let them match your heel.</span>
<br /><h1 class="margin_top"><span style="font-size:130%;">2010 Wedding Color Trends</span></h1> <p style="font-family: arial;">It's important to stay in tune with 2010 color trends. The table below includes popular wedding color choices for the current and upcoming seasons:</p> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr> <td style="font-family: arial;">Fall/Winter:</td> <td style="background-color: rgb(213, 36, 74);" class="specialTD">deep red</td> <td style="background-color: rgb(33, 123, 191);" class="specialTD">teal</td> <td style="background-color: rgb(188, 135, 188);" class="specialTD">violet</td> <td style="background-color: rgb(194, 163, 146);" class="specialTD">mocha</td> <td style="background-color: rgb(153, 204, 153);" class="specialTD">sage</td> </tr> <tr style="font-family: arial;"><td colspan="6">
<br /></td></tr> <tr> <td style="font-family: arial;">Spring/Summer:</td> <td style="background-color: rgb(88, 195, 187);" class="specialTD">turquoise</td> <td style="background-color: rgb(190, 185, 182);" class="specialTD">platinum</td> <td style="background-color: rgb(245, 154, 135);" class="specialTD">coral</td> <td style="background-color: rgb(246, 231, 103);" class="specialTD">pale yellow</td> <td style="background-color: rgb(184, 26, 149);" class="specialTD">fuchsia</td></tr></tbody></table><img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Jud/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.png" alt="" />
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Another great trend that we have found that the "generation y" has been particularly interested in is "going green". This generation knows the importance of this in their everyday lives from the cars they purchase to being more conscious in the grocery store with the food they buy. Why not use those values and interests on your wedding day. Some couples choose organic fabrics, flowers, food and invitations, etc. Making green and sustainable choices helps our environmental crisis tremendously, why not use that thinking for one of the most important days of your life. Choosing environmentally responsible resources helps reduce the amount of carbon emissions, promotes sustainable practices, and supports local businesses. This trend in particular is one that we hope this is here to stay!</span>

We've placed notes by each regarding our <span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">opinions </span>of the article! <span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);">Enjoy</span>...<br /><br />These <span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">savings </span>are based on a wedding with eight attendants, 150 guests, and a seated reception. If your guest list is larger, you'll <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">trim </span>your expenses even more!<br /><br />1) Schedule your wedding during your locale's off-season (usually November through March). Most venues reduce their prices during these times. Other vendors may also offer lower, more flexible rates. <span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">*This could be a great option to save some money! The busiest wedding months in Texas are September & October and many late-summer months as well. </span><br /><p><span><span>2) Save on a high-season wedding by throwing your bash on a Friday or Sunday instead of a Saturday evening, which always costs most. <span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">* We ADORE Sunday weddings. You can truly save a lot of money and you can have time to spend with your family and friends by scheduling wedding activities on Friday and Saturday. This is a great idea because most people that will be attending from out of town will most likely want to spend more time with you than just at the wedding. Plus, you will get to show them around our awesome Dallas/Ft. Worth area!</span><br /></span></span></p> <p><span><span>3) Trim the guest list. You'll cut food, liquor, and rental costs, and you might even be able to downsize your reception space. <span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);">* Everyone knows this one... less guests = less money.</span><br /></span></span></p> <p><span><span>4) Reserve a site that's fully furnished, like a hotel or restaurant. You'll save a fortune by not having to rent tables, chairs, dishes, and flatware <span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);">*Most venues do come with most everything you'll need. If you're on a budget, be realistic about having to bring anything in to an open space.</span><br /><br /><strong></strong>5) Choose local, seasonal blooms instead of expensive varieties that need to be shipped. Cut costs even more by opting for smaller centerpieces and bouquets: Fewer stems equal a smaller final tab. <span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);">* Flowers these days come from all around the globe and most are not affected by season anymore. Note: flower prices are higher during a holiday weekend... so plan accordingly. Also, think flowers that are large on one stem, such as Hydrangeas... these are beautiful as boutonnieres with just a few flowers off the whole pod. </span><br /></span></span></p> <p><span><span>6) Hook your iPod up to your venue's sound system instead of hiring a DJ. You'll lose an emcee, but you'll gain more control over the music. <span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">* This is where we whole-heartily disagree! You will need to make this decision yourselves but keep in mind a few things... do you have items such as first dances, toasts, cake cutting? If so, who will announce these important things and how? Second, do you want guests to be entertained? If so, only a qualified Master of Ceremonies and Entertainment Specialist can provide this. Nine times out of ten if theres no DJ or Band... theres no dancing. If that's ok with you two... GREAT! If you want to celebrate this special occation with your guests and family... the consider hiring a professional and don't skimp here. </span><br /></span></span></p> <p><span><span>7) Have waiters ask before pouring wine if you're paying by consumption. Also request that they avoid clearing half-filled glasses. <span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">*Great idea... also if you are serving champagne make sure that they ask guests if they would like champagne before pouring it. For a toast, you can request the glasses be filled only 1/4 of the way. </span><br /></span></span></p> <p><span><span>8) Find a BYOB venue. Caterers often triple the retail price of liquor, so book a site that let you bring your own beverages (buy wine by the case). <span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);">*You will still have to make sure that you hire a TABC Certified Bartender. </span><br /></span></span></p> <p><span><span>9) Transfer inexpensive wines from their original bottles into decanters. That way, no one can inspect the label. Or make fruity sangria; they'll never suspect the vino costs just $5 a bottle. <span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">* Very true... Sangria is a great signature drink for the warmer summer months or if your color is a beautiful red! </span><br /></span></span></p> <span><span>10) Skip the full bar. Instead, serve just wine, beer, soda, and one popular cocktail (it's hard to turn down a margarita or mojito). <span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">* Agreed! Guests are always gracious for simple drinks such as beer and wine. You can almost double your bar total by having hard liquor as well.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">XOXO,<br />Fallon | Sarabeth | Amanda<br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">You can find the original aritical by clicking <a href="http://shine.yahoo.com/event/financiallyfit/10-ways-to-save-up-to-1-000-on-your-wedding-reception-1005625/">HERE</a>. </span></span><br /><br /></span></span><strong> </strong></span></span>Sarabeth Eventshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17567085177654482849noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862916866606180735.post-17244226737281563642010-03-04T16:21:00.002-06:002010-03-04T16:26:12.560-06:00Wanna Meet The Cast of Alice in Weddingland?Everyone is getting SO <span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">excited </span>about our Alice in Weddingland party on April 1st.

Thank you for your kind words and support, Esther & Joe!<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">February 19, 2010</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">To Whom It May Concern:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">I met Sarabeth at a bridal show last year. At that time, my husband and I were contemplating whether or not to hire a wedding coordinator. It was January and we were slowly starting to plan for a September wedding. I didn’t think that a wedding coordinator was necessary at that time. With so many costs slowly climbing up, I thought that this was something that we could save money on. Now that I look back, I don’t know how I could have done it without her!! I was so pleased with how affordable her services were. The payment plans she offered were great and made it less stressful on us.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">She was there for all my meetings and helped me make important decisions. The only regret I have is not listening to her on my DJ. To future brides, always listen to Sarabeth and take her advice seriously. She has so much knowledge in the wedding industry and she knows what she’s talking about.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">You’ll be so surprised at how well organized she is. She’ll help you remember what needs to be done along the way. On the day of the wedding, nothing went wrong. Everything was perfect and on schedule. I don’t know how she did it. Everything went so smoothly. I literally woke up the day of the wedding knowing that everything would be taken care of and I was able to enjoy the day more. She did this all while she was 7 months pregnant too!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">I miss planning my wedding and having Sarabeth as my wedding coordinator made it so fun and less stressful. I promise you that you’ll enjoy planning your wedding and guarantee you that you’ll have the best wedding day ever if you hire Sarabeth as your coordinator.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Enjoy this time of planning and have lots of fun! It goes by fast, especially the day of your wedding.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Good Luck!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Sincerely,</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Mrs. Esther Choi</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">=) </span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">February 19, 2010</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">To Whom It May Concern:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">I've had the pleasure of meeting Sarabeth when Esther and I were searching for a wedding coordinator at a wedding convention in Dallas. My goal as a fiancé, at the time, was to find someone who would help Esther feel less stressed and worried about planning a wedding. It was very important for me to find a wedding coordinator whose personality would complement Esther's to make the planning process run smoothly.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Sarabeth's warm personality and organizational skills were exceptional. She did an excellent job from start to finish which made the wedding run smoothly. Esther and I were able to focus on enjoying the wedding ceremony. I appreciate Sarabeth's genuine care and concern for our special event and look forward to working with her again for anything else in the future we may have planned.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Sarabeth was able to bring everyone together as a team and tactfully lead the wedding planning which I was impressed with. I would recommend her services to any friends or colleagues who may be getting married in the future to benefit from her expertise.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Sincerely,</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Dr. Choi</span><br /><br />Here are a few beautiful photos from Brett & Kiri with <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.pencarlson.com">Pen Carlson Photography</a>!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifZ5GsXxccqVfjZPoUTqfyv3sXmCIXry7YVMdOeiapUR7QraAoLXwg9Ei9W6LZ4eUjehStuNJykgD8alOwY0ScBiDgtlKBKqZNeBf9lUcKgctkHo7oTyVML5uHUnOqJmQsXh07qeJC-ccV/s1600-h/115.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifZ5GsXxccqVfjZPoUTqfyv3sXmCIXry7YVMdOeiapUR7QraAoLXwg9Ei9W6LZ4eUjehStuNJykgD8alOwY0ScBiDgtlKBKqZNeBf9lUcKgctkHo7oTyVML5uHUnOqJmQsXh07qeJC-ccV/s320/115.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441558327274846018" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaGp5W8K5nwbCProG3jao43ZhI3_DIeZ80aPcUDrpcbrJHWNJ3jyRjT_4T6jozeHf3eT0Gd9WycyNz5hTU8tMDN_vGbCtXXg77yAMC_fukFKM2WtOAtxE7So4dyEI9rMsVuAqHczhHzOUD/s1600-h/501.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaGp5W8K5nwbCProG3jao43ZhI3_DIeZ80aPcUDrpcbrJHWNJ3jyRjT_4T6jozeHf3eT0Gd9WycyNz5hTU8tMDN_vGbCtXXg77yAMC_fukFKM2WtOAtxE7So4dyEI9rMsVuAqHczhHzOUD/s320/501.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441559235411585314" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCLDhXOVSQVu1-D-Ftx33IiqQTLgdbtrExCyKT4r4lAbeRdpZX_A0XRVl0LLyR6Hl60zupysjAcw94fa4RFc3HyhgV1jTr3v144wFTR49XH7TziKlUBTW8VVg6wCx0jDV4gmDW3e7ri91k/s1600-h/370.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCLDhXOVSQVu1-D-Ftx33IiqQTLgdbtrExCyKT4r4lAbeRdpZX_A0XRVl0LLyR6Hl60zupysjAcw94fa4RFc3HyhgV1jTr3v144wFTR49XH7TziKlUBTW8VVg6wCx0jDV4gmDW3e7ri91k/s320/370.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441558512168373154" border="0" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaHuR2UVIwnxPGn0ZzW41OUzkV1c7EOnOqW5nm6mSDlKqygr8zNrArO82Bb7xi1hya7LlEFs9ipSgLEmWqsLvj6Y1QkF2hWXLdukl29Mjm834vjPXX3cMyNPZYiPma-6ebmeWWOr4pUYnn/s1600-h/537.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaHuR2UVIwnxPGn0ZzW41OUzkV1c7EOnOqW5nm6mSDlKqygr8zNrArO82Bb7xi1hya7LlEFs9ipSgLEmWqsLvj6Y1QkF2hWXLdukl29Mjm834vjPXX3cMyNPZYiPma-6ebmeWWOr4pUYnn/s320/537.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441558779166497218" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3xn4HceniVaVrBIV8Fb3KDYgDljo5V_q1sNQVKPgEmncIF3RbWlkxN23j_jipJVUkGM6uEgpr0E4nXl2T78loladQKsddWhdZtwFBouwHVilGUNBIlbgnLoM0aw65XFrc9wTxlt79xR1p/s1600-h/600.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3xn4HceniVaVrBIV8Fb3KDYgDljo5V_q1sNQVKPgEmncIF3RbWlkxN23j_jipJVUkGM6uEgpr0E4nXl2T78loladQKsddWhdZtwFBouwHVilGUNBIlbgnLoM0aw65XFrc9wTxlt79xR1p/s320/600.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441558976876920178" border="0" /></a><br /></div>Sarabeth Eventshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17567085177654482849noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862916866606180735.post-76392154265151277872010-02-18T12:14:00.002-06:002010-02-18T12:20:46.756-06:00Behind The Tradition: What is a Trousseau?Your <span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">Great-Grandmother </span>would know this one. A trousseau traditionally included the personal possessions – clothing and households goods – that a <span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);">bride</span> brought to her marriage. The word trousseau was derived from a French term meaning “bundle”. The trousseau was originally part of a dowry (the financial arrangement between the families of a betrothed couple) and is associated with a time when marriages were arranged and the bride ceded all her possessions to her husband. For obvious reasons, the concept is high on the <span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">endangered</span> list in contemporary American culture.<br /><br />Beyond her wedding dress, party clothes, and honeymoon outfits, today’s bride-to-be is unlikely to acquire a vast new <span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">wardrobe</span> before her wedding. Items including linens, tableware, silver, and basic kitchen equipment, which comprised the household trousseau, are now purchased by the couple, acquired as gifts, or assembled when the couple <span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204);">merges </span>their households.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYdJPJOAvkDgbN9m5TqAfkrp1sUTx_4zZpORt1dDrDrJ2gNX_FnH9iDZY2gCPljQO9ban7F73v-U4UbztW9ALJDD_Vz0S9YN_QHdb25PotH4I9IqqhQlkGh0wfwV7NdxBnwbrjw7S0Xk-I/s1600-h/hope.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 158px; height: 94px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYdJPJOAvkDgbN9m5TqAfkrp1sUTx_4zZpORt1dDrDrJ2gNX_FnH9iDZY2gCPljQO9ban7F73v-U4UbztW9ALJDD_Vz0S9YN_QHdb25PotH4I9IqqhQlkGh0wfwV7NdxBnwbrjw7S0Xk-I/s320/hope.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439650002589226162" border="0" /></a>One tradition that has survived is the <span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 102);">hope </span>chest – a good sized wooden, often cedar chest for storing linens and blankets.
