The Zoe Report: The Great Gatsby Bride

So, I get an email earlier this week from none other than the Zoe Report office....for those of you who watch the Rachel Zoe Project are probably familiar.  I really heart Rachel and the amazing empire she has built, so to say I was excited to see the email in my inbox from one of her editors would be an understatement (I may or may not have squealed upon opening it).

We are beyond excited to be included in the latest Zoe Report that came out yesterday.  It's a special Great Gatsby Wedding edition!  Our cake from the My Modern Clementine shoot was selected to be included!  Thank you very much Pinterest for being invented and being our connecting force!

I. Die.




O.M.G.  It's so maj.  :)

Oh and by the way - if you aren't signed up for the Zoe Report you should go do it now.  Not kidding.  Go...like right now!  Click here!


Happy Weekend!

Cakes For A Cause is one of my favorite events of the year!   This year's event will be held Thursday, March 28th at the Mid-Ohio Food Bank from 6pm - 9pm.  We've got some really great bakers lined up and a lot of new faces joining us this year!  All of the event proceeds go directly back to the foodbank's Operation Feed Campaign. 

We've got five fantastic bakers competing in the Sweet Taste of Victory Competition vying for the Golden Spatula award.  Diva Desserts will be back trying to regain her 2011 title and Kitties Cakes will be back defending their 2012 title!  New to the competition this year is Sue Larson owner of LeGateau, Debby from Home Run Cakes and Cosette the Cake Chick!  I can't wait to see goodies they bring for everyone to sample!

Cameron Mitchell Catering, Made From Scratch and Two Caterers will be back serving their creative delicious hors d'oeurves.  The Sweet Carrot will also be back to greet guests as they arrive for the event!  Remember those amazing BBQ Sundaes from last year?  OH. MY. GOODNESS.

Destination Ohio!

We have been dreaming of summer and warmer weather here at the studio and we have destination weddings on the mind! A lot of brides want a destination feel, but would like to get married in Ohio, so we have dreamed up some cute ways to give your wedding that destination feel right here in the heart of it all!

This week we were dreaming of Napa, California and some yummy wine. When it comes to finding the right winery Ohio has a wide selection all over the state. If you want a database of Ohio Winery's go to the Ohio Wine Association. But having looked around there is one that stands out. Fox Hill Vineyard it is a small winery located in the Alexander Valley owned by a lovely looking older couple who truly loves what they are doing, we love that! When people truly care about their product they are going to give you a great experience. This photo from their website is so pretty, it seems like just the perfect place for an Ohio destination wedding!                                                          photo courtesy of Fox Hill Vineyard

New Rules of Weddings.

 
                                              Image by Michelle Waters


 This week's rule is a favorite of ours!

Rule #4: Tipping

The old rule about only tipping service staff and those that work for "companies" is antiquated and should be tossed out into the recycling bin!  Our advice to clients is simple. You can tip any member of your vendor team (whether they own the business or not is irrelevant) as long as they are providing a level of service that has gone far above your expectations.  Many of your wedding vendors are small business owners and strive to do the very best job possible for you.  Showing your appreciation for a job well done means so much to them, not because it's about a little extra cash, but that you took a few seconds to recognize them for a job that was above your expectations.  Small business owners tend to take their jobs and the service they're providing for you to heart and a little tiny thank you means more than you'll ever know. 

Next month, we'll dive deeper into calculating tips for vendors, but for now, we thought we share this "new rule".
