Lesley Foley Photography


Quick shout out to my friend Lesley Foley, a great photographer here in the Destin area. I attended a bridal expo last weekend in FWB and she was the first vendor booth I passed and she did such a fab job on it that I had to post a pic! Check out her work at www.foleyphotography.com!

Curing a hangover

Ok let's face it, most brides, grooms and their bridal party do tend to overindulge at the rehearsal dinner. Here's a few tricks to lessen the pain for the day after:
~Hydrate. Force down as many fluids as you can, water and gatorade are always the best. Avoid caffeine which will only dehydrate you more.
~Sleep. Rest is one of the best ways for your body to recover so sleep in as much as possible the next day!
~Eat Sensibly. Of course you'll be craving greasy foods the next morning but it's so much better to refuel with complex carbs like a bagel, lean protein or fruit.
~Last but not least, "hair of the dog". No I'm not talking about the last shot of whiskey in the bottle next to your bed! Bloody mary's.....while your body is dealing with the new alcohol the tomato juice and celery are full of vitamins.

CHEERS!

I had such a blast planning this event! The couple could not have been any cuter and their big day fell on one of my favorite holidays.......Halloween! Eden Gardens was an amazing backdrop for this super fun event complete with carved pumpkins for centerpieces, masquerade masks , and trick or treat bags for favors. Congrats Kristen and Jamey Gwaltney.......................

Grooms cake out.......Dessert table in!

Dessert tables are all the new rage! Out with the old traditional grooms cake (that nobody ever eats anyway) and in with a dessert table featuring various assorted goodies. Lately some of my dessert tables have included creme brulee spoons, mini chocolate souffles, banana pudding bites, assorted cheesecake shooters, smores, fruit tarts, chocolate covered key lime cheesecake lollipops, beignet filled parchment cones, root beer float shooters, mini ice cream sandwiches and grilled Ghiradelli sandwiches! Your guests will love the options and when they are all served "mini" everyone can sample lots of different treats!
