BEVERAGE BRUNCH BUNNIES

I think next to Mother's Day, Easter might be the most popular holiday for brunch. If you're like me–always looking for small and easy ways to add something cute or even something that is a bit of a conversation factor to your food presentation–these super adorable ice bunnies are easy to whip up in time for Sunday brunch. You just need to find the bunny silicone molds--which should be available anywhere that carries Wilton baking products. I'm sure Michaels and Joanns would have them. Make them in different juice flavors to drop in lemonade or water.

Hop on over to Pink Martinis and Pearls to get the full directions.

Have a wonderful Easter weekend!

FREE DOWNLOAD: HEALTH FOOD TAGS

Health awareness is so prevalent these days--especially if you're hosting a party. My daughter has many food allergies, so I ask guests to make me aware of any allergies they have right on the invitation. That way I can make sure to have food options ready for them. Even preparing meals for teacher luncheons we are asked to provide one gluten free option.

To make it easy for guests to identify foods at a party, FoodPackagingLabels.net has a great set of food labels you can download instantly for FREE HERE.  From sugar free to gluten free, their set (shown above) covers a wide variety of options. You can also use the labels to organize your fridge and pantry. The website also generously shares free printables for the weekly meal planning and special events. With Easter right around the corner, you might want to check out the Easter labels here.

CIRCUS THEMED FARM BIRTHDAY PARTY

Sharing their 5-year birthday proved to be double the fun for these two five year olds. This colorful circus themed party took place on a local family farm and provided fun for all! Pony rides, face painting by a clown and photo booth were just a few of the activities. I think just their adorable outfits stole the show! A "big top" thanks to Nevada's Jeramie Lu Photography for capturing and sharing all the fun!

FRESH FLORAL WEDDING

Intimate, elegant and plush. That's what I thought of when I looked at these beautiful images from this couple's wedding, beautifully captured by Pasha Belman Photography in South Carolina. And what great inspiration for a spring shower or other special outdoor occasion! The reception was set on a plantation that is 240 years old and provided the perfect green and soft setting the bride was looking for. To represent the bride's Russian heritage small accents like a Russian samovar (tea urn) and Russian sweets were added to the tables. The magical night ended with a dance to 'Unforgettable' under a chandelier hanging from a 300 year old oak tree. Dreamy!

PURPLE MINION 2ND BIRTHDAY PARTY

I got a good chuckle on how this mom came to choosing the theme for her son's 2 year birthday party: "As we watched the adorable yellow minions get transmutated into the crazy purple monster minions, we thought that is perfect! THAT is turning 2!" A great reflection of the terrible twos! But the big smiles and sweetness of this little 2-year old shows no evidence of being a little monster! It looks like he had a blast! Mom and Dad did a great job with the decor. I especially love the balloons and hard hats. And lucky for us, Mom and Dad also happen to be California photographers, DPARK PHOTOGRAPHY, who shared these fabulous photos with us. Please make sure to check out the other vendors listed after the photos who contributed to all the awesomeness.
