]]> Our creative department recently created these beautiful floating pom poms and hung them above one of our staffers desk in celebration of her birthday. They were so beautiful that I just had them share them as today’s DIY Divas idea.

]]> In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Jennifer at Hostess with the Mostess published some gorgeous pink drinks.  They were so pretty that I couldn’t resist sharing.  If pink is part of your color palette for your event, consider adding one of these pretty cocktails as a signature drink:

]]> I love this trend. And why wouldn’t I? Candy bars are both sweet and chic, fun and functional! They offer an easy, affordable opportunity to incorporate your wedding colors into the reception in a delightful way, and with M&M’s new campaign that allows you to customize your candies with photos and messages, you can add even more sugary fun to the mix! Plus, candy bars are a more family friendly option for the ceremony than wine bars, letting everyone from the flower girl to Grandma enjoy the treats you’ve laid out.

But, when I brought the idea up to my family, they argued that it seemed a little childish. I think their exact words were, “Who are you marrying? Willy Wonka?”

What do you think? Are candy bars playful and posh, or do they leave a bad taste in your mouth?
