Rice Krispy Wedding Cakes


My husband told me that I couldn't screw up Rice Krispy treats. I proved him wrong in 3 minutes flat. I burned the first bowl of marshmallows. Leave it to me.
Yesterday Dominique and I spent the day making Rice Krispy wedding cakes for all the local venues we worked at this spring wedding season. Today all of us will go deliver them to say thank you for such an awesome start to the 2008 wedding year.
Thank you to the sales and catering teams at:
The Ritz Carlton Resort Naples Beach
LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort
South Seas Island Resort
Casa Ybel Beach Resort
Sanibel Harbour Beach Resort
Miromar Beach Club
Be on the lookout for the big gray box with the bow!

Here's to another great wedding! -Kelly

What's funnier?

And a sincere thank you.

What's funnier? The invitation below or the fact that a former mother of the bride sent it it me this morning?I love my clients- they are truly hilarious.
If I have never said thank you before, let me say it now.

Thank you for being the best clients...all of you.
Thank you for cracking me up daily.
Thank you for allowing me to wake up and be giddy because its a wedding day.
Thank you for having me live on pure wedding adrenaline a couple times a month.
Thank you for the emails that remind me that you are enjoying this as much as I am.

Thank you for the voicemails you leave with excitement in your voice.
Thank you for the hugs and happy dances when you come into town to plan.
Thank you for letting me taste wedding dinners and cake over and over again.
Thank you for the opportunity to dance a little bit (behind a door, where nobody can see me) to a great song at your reception.
Thank you for letting me cry happy tears no less than 4 times a wedding when you walk down the aisle, dance with your husband, dance with your dad, and party with your friends.
Thank you for some truly amazing memories- past, present, and future.
Here's to another great wedding!

Maggie and Aaron's Planning Visit


I had so much fun with Maggie & Aaron the last couple days. They came down for a planning visit and we managed to:
Pack in a cupcake tasting with Andrea at Flour Cupcakes. Can I just say YUM?


If you're even considering cupcakes for your wedding- call her 1st. Her cupcakes rock and so does she.

Okay, then we had their engagement photo shoot on Ft Myers Beach with Ashley & Sam Brockinton Go to her blog to see more amazing photos. WOW.




Ashley Brockington's Blog

A little snafoo while we were out on the beach. Um, yeah, I lost the keys to Maggies car. Oops. Ha Ha, not so funny. Luckily some surfer dudes found 'em. Whew!
We also had a 2nd consult with their floral designer and their tasting at South Seas and picked out invitations. Yes...it was a busy couple days. And oh so much fun!

Real Wedding: The Boys Tied the Knot!


















Yes! Our first commitment ceremony & celebration. It was beyond fantastic. Truly, it was such an honor for me to help James & Glenn plan their 4 day extravaganza on Captiva Island. Planning their celebration was just like planning any other wedding. I have to admit though, it was by far the most emotional wedding day I have ever experienced. No joke, I cried like 8 times. And the rest of the team cried too, especially when James surprised Glenn at the ceremony when he sang to him. Oh my gosh we all just lost it. It was amazing.
I want to say a special thank you to Amanda Deminie from South Seas Island Resort. She went above and beyond with this event.
James is an interior designer, and as I expected, his design for the reception was jaw dropping. These photos are all ours; as soon as the pro photos come in, I'll post!
