A Timeless & Elegant Event

I immediately fell head over heels for this chic, sophisticated wedding by Beth Helmstetter. The elegance and Old Hollywood glamour was perfection. Take a moment to enjoy these gorgeous moments captured on film as well as the video montage that shows the creation of the event. These photos make me yearn for a black tie wedding that is chic and timeless.

Winter Fete: Hot Cocoa Bar

At last! The snow is finally starting to fall here in the Midwest :) At my next winter fete, I'm planning on having a hot chocolate bar where people can mix and match their favorite toppings for this cold weather treat!


I love this adorable display of hot cocoa toppings :)


Perfect for Valentine's Day


These chocolate mugs look delicious!
