Do Your Guests a Favor....

The tradition of wedding favors started with European Royalty bestowing gifts to all their guests as a thank you for celebrating their wedding. A popular favor of the time were small boxes of crystal which held delicate confections such as cubes of sugar which at the time, was ultimate symbol of wealth and royalty.

Today, a favor can be any type of keepsake but why not keep this royal tradition by offering your guests a sweet treat ? Edible favors are very popular even today. What can be more welcome as a little late night munch after your guests have danced the night away?

An edible favor can be customized to reflect your theme, your monogram and even your colors. One of our favorite local vendors, Michael's Cookie Jar offers a plethora of delicious bites that will surely delight the tastebuds of your guests. These treats are handcrafted with real, natural ingredients such as butter and flour imparting that home baked taste that few can duplicate.

No More Diva Dilemas with Clean Heels: Announcing High Heel Stoppers !

When I received this email, with an introduction to this product, I thought-"WOW" !  This is really a showstopper. What creative genius thought of something such as protecting a girls most important posession- her shoes !

How many times have you been invited to a wedding or a special occassion where you sport your most special part of your ensemble only to have your heel cought in the crack of of stones or tiles or embedded deep in the dirt? Not to mention the uncomfortable feeling of wobbling your shoe out.  

The ingenious inventor of Clean Heels/ Heel Stoppers is Ally Stevenson, a savvy fashionista that thought outside the box to bring us this very important accessory.

Her mission was to  provide a product so that ladies no longer have a fashion dilemma while dressing for an outdoor event. High Heel Stoppers prevent even the thinnest heel from penetrating the lawn by providing a discreet platform that prevents sinking in grass or getting stuck in-between decking. No more sinking stilettos, no more ruined heels. The wide rubber base will keep you worry and damage free when walking on wooden floors or teak decks. No more dents and dings, no more walking barefoot in a cocktail dress while your gorgeous heels sit lonely and abandoned by the door. High Heel Stoppers even protects wood flooring from stiletto damage and have become wildly popular throughout the mega-yacht industry for protecting their luxurious flooring while keeping the Fabulous fashionable.
