DIY Vanilla Sugar Wedding Favor...

 
We saw this amazing DIY favor idea on kimbryphotography.com that looked easy to do.  We thought it would make a great favor for this time of year.  Something that your guests could use at home while sipping on a nice hot tea or coffee.  Take a look at the pictures and recipe below:
 





 
For this recipe you will need:
 
  • Vanilla bean (any kind is fine)
  • Sugar (I used white, but I think raw would be great as well)
  • A large container
  • Favor jars,pretty ribbons, custom tags
  • Slice your vanilla bean down the center and scrape the tiny seeds out.
  • Mix as much you can get out of your bean with sugar in a large container. Throw in the used bean for added flavor (just don't eat it :)
  • Allow a week or so for the flavor/smells to blend
Now just divide in your pretty little jars and enjoy!

This was just a fabulous idea and super cute wrapping/tagging!  I say go out and get the items and start DIY'ing!

Bridesmaids Luncheon...

What is a bridesmaid's luncheon? This is a party thrown in honor of the bridesmaids and sometimes called a “bridal tea”. This is something generally hosted by the bride and her mother as a way of saying thank you for sharing in my big day. Usually this is when the bride presents the girls with thank you cards and gifts. This also gives the girls a chance to get to know one another incase they don’t already. Some out of town bridesmaids may have never met your cousins or best friend from high school.

Historically this was strictly an afternoon event given the day before the wedding, where all parties involved joined and had lunch and tea, thus the name “bridal tea”, which over the years became known as the “bridesmaids luncheon”. today however it can be given at any point day or night and as far ahead as you wish. Where to have this is entirely up to you and your budget. Keep in mind when planning how lavish or low key you want it to be, and where it would take place.

This luncheon could be as simple as a DIY mani/pedi party to a posh event at a ritzy hotel. No matter how much you spend or where you have it just remember its all in fun and for thanking those close to you!
