Dressing Up Dessert

With cupcakes being very en vogue these days (and a personal favorite of DM Events) we love the idea of dressing up your cupcakes! After all, you get a cute outfit for the day – shouldn't they, too?

Happy Planning!

Inspired by Autumn

By now you must know that DM Events loves autumn... the colors, the weather, and of course the fact that there is nothing more beautiful than autumn in NY!

So when brides come to us and are unsure about their favorite flower, color, or theme, we try to inspire them by the season in which they are getting married! So look around at the colors (burnt reds and oranges), textures (leaves!), and smells (apples, cinnamon, and pumpkin) and see if you can fall in love with an autumn wedding :)

Having trouble visualizing it? Check out these cools ideas for how to add leaves to your special day!

Stationery Personality Profile

Not sure what stationery is the best fit for your special day?

No worries, we understand. It is a very big decision - it is the first introduction guests will have to your wedding and you want to make the right statement. After all, your stationery sets the tone for the rest of the event!

Check out this stationery personality profile from Martha Stewart!

Flower Girls Ring In

Looking for a way to make your flower girls even cuter? Purchase white satin slippers and dye them to match your wedding palette, sew on a few bells and some ribbon and... voilà! Your flower girl will be accompanied by the sweet sound of bells as she prances down the aisle!

Pictured are slippers from Butterfly Kisses Children's Boutique (circuscitykids.com) and bells from Toho Shoji N.Y.

Introducing Erica!

Take a deep breath girls, we would like to introduce you to the cotton cady Erica dress, the bridesmaid dress you can really wear again! This dress is part of Jcrew’s wedding line, which also features bridal gowns and attire for both grooms and groomsmen.

But enough about that, let’s get back to Erica. There is nothing about this dress that says “Yes, I was a bridesmaid and I’m trying to get a second wear out of this hideous dress.” In fact, quite the contrary and the good news is there’s other ones just like it! Erica comes in 13 colors and can be easily paired with a chic brooch or necklace to complete the look, all of which are also available at Jcrew.

Check out Erica and other fabulous dresses at http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Navigation/Wedding.jsp, or for the first time ever at 99 Prince Street in Soho where select styles are available to preview.

Chic Jewelry is a Family Affair!

They say never to go into business with family but they are wrong! It’s a family affair at The Crangi Family Project, a new jewelry boutique located in Manhattan's chic Meatpacking District.

Philip Crangi designed and built the shop which showcases black pressed-tin ceilings, dark velvet walls, and ribbon trim. Custom shelving displays his namesake line (designed with sister and biz partner Courtney) as well as Giles & Brother, a more cost conscious costume collection. Father Crangi is an artist who will showcase sculptures and sister-in-law Sheri manages the store so everyone is in the action!

So if you are looking for that perfect piece of jewelry to accompany the most expensive dress you will ever wear, the Crangi Family has something for you!

The Crangi Family Project, 9 Ninth Avenue (between Little West 12th and 13th Streets) 212-929-0858

Whimsy and Spice

So you may have noticed that here at DM Events, we are really into baked goods! We love mini cupcakes, decadent brownies, and designer petite fours... well we found yet another yummy treat to obsess about - homemade marshmallows.

Brooklyn bakery Whimsy and Spice has some of the most delicious (and interesting!) treats we have tasted in a while, but we are particularly enamored by their marshmallows. Whether your wedding includes a dessert bar or you just want to dress up your coffee, these marshmallows are sure to be a crowd pleaser! Click here to check out Whimsy and Spice.
