{LUV-LY} Appetizers

WISEOYSTERS@YAHOO.COM (Pearls Of Wisdom, LLC) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 13:20:00 +0000

The perfect solution for gatherings that require smaller portioned food is to serve appetizers. Appetizers tastefully stimulate the palette, while happily bringing your guests to a state satiety.

A mid-afternoon reception, a bachlorette 'tea' party or an early morning breakfast for those much appreciated out of town guests. Instead of an entree' of heavy cuisine, satisfy your guests with a 'mini' meal of appetizers.

Try these delicious samples. Want the recipe? Click on the picture and get started with these palette pleasers.

REAL WEDDING... {RETRO} STYLE

WISEOYSTERS@YAHOO.COM (Pearls Of Wisdom, LLC) — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 13:46:00 +0000

Yuli Hsu and Keith Fisher

The Couple, posing for pictures. The beauty of the Delaware River serves as a serene backdrop.

The Bride and Groom with there retro-chic bridal party. {I just love well thought out themed weddings.} Don't you?

“Our friend is in an old-time roots band—it’s him, a husband and wife, and their three children—that plays folky swing music on the ukulele, accordion, steel guitar... We had them play during the ceremony (our recessional was the Beatles’ ‘When I’m Sixty-Four’), cocktail hour, and dinner. We also had a D.J. spin everything from sixties funk to New Wave.” -Yuli & Keith

Does your guestlist include children? Why not take your lead from Yuli & Keith and make a bonfire for them? Add s'mores and you have one great time for the kids. Don't worry, the adults are not to be left out. Once the kids are put to bed, re-light the fire, get out the marshmellows and add beer... Now that's one AFTER PARTY!

Not into the traditional cake cutting? Pastries such as cupcakes make a nice statement about when things were easier...retro

They named their tables after old romantic films—table numbers were mini-movie posters that the couple found online. Photoshop helped them transform the escort cards to look like 1930s ticket stubs that were cleverly displayed inside an antique creamery crate.

Nine lucky couples said "I do" today at a local 99 Cents Only store, giving them the quirky wedding date of September 9, 2009 or 09/09/09.

The couples were among 2,999 applicants hoping to score a 99-cent wedding as part of a promotion for the store.With nine family members and friends on-hand, the nine couples exchanged vows near check out #9 in the store, located at 5270 Sunset Boulevard.They were then sent off in a limousine with $99.99 in cash to celebrate at an undisclosed "famous romantic Los Angeles" spot.The brides won wedding gowns made out of T-shirts, table cloths and other items sold at 99 Cent stores. They also had the option of wearing their own gown.

In Las Vegas, wedding officials are preparing for the busiest day of the year.Nine couples are scheduled to marry at the Madame Tussauds wax museum on the Las Vegas Strip at 9:09 a.m., while 99 more are waiting until 9:09 p.m. for a shared ceremony in the observation deck at the Stratosphere Tower. Each paid $99 for their wedding package.

Still, officials don't think 09-09-09 will be as lucrative as July 7 two years ago or Aug. 8 last year. {photo & story via ktla.com & momlogic}

What's behind you...

gigisglamma@yahoo.com (My {S.T.U.F.F.} ::) — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 14:33:00 +0000

If your special gown has you bearing you back, be sure to pay even closer attention to detail.
Be certain that the fabric lies smoothly against your skin and that any fastening accessories are not twisted, gathering, gapping or worst yet, in ill-repair. Be certain that undergarments are not raring their pretty little heads, and that they are appropriate for the gown's fit.

Most of all, take time in the months before your special day to get your back & back-side in tip-top, lean mean shape. Supplementing regular trips to the gym for that extra cardio with a well-rounded back & glute routine, will assure that the important assets that follow you, will leave your guests in awe of the backside of your dress, and envious of the body that fills it in.

If you are having out-of-town {AKA-OOT} arriving for your big day, put an instant smile on their faces with a gift bag placed in the hotel room for each of them. Make the items inside reflect your theme or something special about you and your future husband.

While you are making a list of those special filler items, don't forget the first impression starts with the container that you chose to hold all of those special items.

Above are a few vessels that, not only reflect your style, but are vessels that can take on other functional duties when all of the goodies have been used. All the while relaying to your guests,

that they are very special'.

The look--clean,not fussy, all lady. Even the seemingly over plucked eyebrows get a nod. The coiff, every strand in place & defiant of all weather conditions. The pout, soft & crisp...loving the mat colour. And you have to love the soft, mysterious eyes bedecked by well-placed full yet wispy eyelashes.
For your special day, you may not want this look {I can't imagine why not}, but you definitely want this 'total package' look when you are presented as 'The Mrs' to the world.
