Pick of the Week - December 20, 2010

With the holiday season here I based this weeks pick based on my favorite holiday, New Year's Eve.  I've got a few pictures that go along with this pick but I've also added instructions and links to the websites for production!  

You can always make (or buy) fortune cookies to celebrate the new year.  Above are fortune cookies that have been dipped in chocolate and then decorated.  The two links below are for a recipe to make fortune cookies as well as a variety of fortune cookie sayings.


 
I saw this picture and just fell in love.  What a great way to show case your holiday party favors!  The homemade fortune cookie is wrapped and then adorned with a gold star. 


Last, but not least, if you're not cooking inclined perhaps making them from paper is more your style.  These are great because you can customize the paper to fit your guests or just the holiday itself.  Follow the link below for a step-by-step tutorial on how to make these.

Pick of the Week - Monday, December 13, 2010

This centerpiece has always been a favorite of mine!


Cream candles can be used with any color floral arrangements and variety in the height of the candles also adds depth and dimension to the setting.  A super romantic centerpiece that won't look the same from any direction!

Welcome to Dreams by Design Events!!!

Well, here I am!  Posting my first blog!  I'm not going to lie...I've never had a blog before so this is a first.  So is starting my own business though!  I have just recently started Dreams by Design Events - an event planning service based in St. Petersburg, Florida.  I am so excited to get to work on so many different projects.  My friends and family have been great in supporting me and I can't wait to get started.  I've already been asked to help plan a number of events ranging from school events, to weddings, to golf outings!  Well, I plan on updating this blog at least weekly, if not more.  Look for picks of the weeks which will include events, locations, wedding ideas, and all sorts of other great event ideas!
