Summertime

My wedding is a short 8 months away, in August... so I've turned my thoughts to long, sunshine-y days, warm breezes, glam jeweled thong sandals, flow-y sundresses and sunglasses a la Rachel Zoe. While in my summertime trance, I've begun to rethink the black bridesmaids dresses. Although you can't get any more chic and unfussy than a black cute dress, maybe these fab finds will change my mind completely.






These dresses by Bari Jay are just adorable and effortlessly fabulous! My sisters would look great in any of the three styles, while different body types, I believe these are complimentary on any gal. I'm also loving the showing of the long and short version. Muy perfecto for designating a MOH from the BMs.

The last dress, in the short version would definitely be a winner with my summer wardrobe. I could totally see myself hosting a rooftop soiree with this ka-ute dress and the aforementioned glam thong sandals and fab sunnies.

Thank you!!

Wow, I'm truly overwhelmed. Since my last post, we've booked 76 weddings for this year and I still have 13 more prospective bridal clients to follow up with!!!! Thank you to all the Planners that have referred brides and past brides that have referred friends and brides that happen to stumble onto our blog. =D


Because of this unexpected influx of business, I will be able to hire more Artists to join our team. I'm so happy because I can be a blessing to someone else by providing employment.

This year is starting off... a truly wonderful one.

The Gift of Beauty

I had a BFF of a Bride just give me a call asking if she could purchase a bridal beauty package for her besty. Of course, I said yes and because I was in a giving mood... I extended to her our "RCBB Affiliate Planner" discount of $150.00 off of the Total Bridal Indulgence package.


Now the "RCBB Affiliate Planner" program is a discount that we extend to all the event planners that refer bridal beauty bookings to us. This is an incentive they can offer to their prospective brides or just help their bridal client to save a little money. We certainly appreciate our Planners so throughout the year, there's always a discount extended to them..

Since I'm still in a giving mood, I've decided to offer this discount to anyone, not only my beloved Planners, who reserves Bridal Beauty services with RCBB by January 31.

The Chloe Paraty Python Bag. 'Nuff said.

Oh and another pair of Mink Lashes. Mine has had a great run but it's time to replace my fluttery, sexy, doe-eyed goodness. I've placed another order for my fab brides, for the upcoming wedding season. I can't wait...hurry FEDEX!

So Cute!

I have an affinity for all things culinary cute. Remember the cute mini waffle maker



It's fabulous! Presenting Treasure with BNB (breakfast in bed) with those darling waffles, dusted with powered sugar... just makes me squeal inside!

Now my latest culinary cute must have is the Big City Slider Station.

*Removed the video...cuz it was annoying me a tad* You can see it on the website.

I know this video presentation is a little in your face but wow, that slider station is the bees knees! I just love the daintiness of it all. Having a girlfriend get together would be a breeze. I could whip up a few when Treasure's watching the game. I'm hooked and going to buy it right now!

Couture Cuppies

So the fabulous Beverly sent over sketches a few weeks ago with designs for our couture cupcakes. I was thrilled but secretly wished I could see the real thing. And as if she was a fly on the wall, she sent these over a few days ago.





Aren't they LOVE!?!?! I was totally bubbling with delight. And as if reading my mind AGAIN, she included the flavors:

Cosmopolitan Cupcakes
Cranberry/Grenadine Cupcakes filled with Lime Mousseline Buttercream then finished with Cointreau Mousseline Buttercream.

Cocoa Frangelico

Dutch Cocoa Cupcakes filled with Dark Chocolate Ganache and finished with Frangelico Hazelnut Liqueur Mousseline Buttercream

Club Vanilla Espresso

Vanilla Cupcakes filled with Canandian Club Whiskey Mousseline Buttercream then finished with Espresso Mousseline Buttercream
No plain ole chocolate and vanilla cupcakes here... I'm just amazed at these flavor combos. I certainly would have never thought of it. These will be wonderful amongst the dessert bar. I'm thinking we should go with less rich dessert accompaniments for a variety of tastebud experiences. Hmmmm, we'll see.
I just *wish* I could have a tasting.
