“Give me both!” I’d say. I think both alternatives are great. Ultimately, it comes to preference and cost. With a cake, you have more options for designs, but you can still get creative with the cupcakes. Some things to consider. Is it important to you to cut into a cake? (You can still share a […]

It took me three months to finally find the right pair. It was a happy accident. The first few weeks, I wanted a pair of Christian Louboutin. I kept worrying about how ugly the red bottoms were going to get, and I just couldn’t get passed the idea of them getting scuffed. I took a […]

Raul is a big fan of James Bond, so cocktail drinks would be served and appetizers, […]

This part became easier as I knew the size of my party. However, for the first few weeks of the wedding planning process, I had a venue in mind in downtown Houston. I liked the open concept of the venue. My initial thought was a cocktail party with either a pizza bar or a taco […]
