Jelly Balls... What???

What are Jelly Balls, you ask? They are a brand new decor item: polymer pearls that expand by simply adding water. These water absorbent pearls expand into perfect miniature spheres. They are non-toxic, biodegradable, and can be reused up to six times. You can use them to add color to your centerpiece vases, floating candles or decorating scheme. They come in eight different colors, and when you are done with them, put them in your potting soil to help your plantings retain more moisture. What a great idea!!

Latest Trend: Lampshade Centerpieces

I am planning a wedding at the Sheraton Novi Michigan in August, and we will be utilizing one of the latest trends in the wedding business. One third of the guest table centerpieces will be tall cylinder vases with a floating candle inside, topped off with a lampshade! You can incorporate any color, shape or size to fit your wedding decor.

Creme de la Creme

I attended the Creme de la Creme fashion event on May 22, 2009 at the Detroit Athletic Club. Alexis Williamson, owner and founder of LeSalon Bridal Salon in Royal Oak, premiered the "Carrie Gown" by Vivienne Westwood as seen in the "Sex and the City" movie. The Fashion Show designs by Katerina Bocci, Cynthia La Maide and Kate Bennett graced the runway. Jon Jordan, local Channel Four Fashion Editor, was the MC for the evening. Le Salon will sponsor a yearly event featuring her couture wedding gowns and other fashion attire.

Emergency Bridesmaid Gown Fix

Approximately 1-1/2 hours before the Ceremony was to begin at St. John's Orthodox Church in Southfield, I was called into the Bridal Dressing Room. The Junior Bridesmaid (pictured here) had attempted to put her own dress on. She not only broke the long brown zipper down the back of the dress, but she ripped the material next to the zipper. I immediately called a couture wedding gown alterations professional to ask if she had a replacement zipper. When I learned that she did, I asked my Associate to drive the gown to her for repair. My Associate returned with the dress within 1/2 hour of the wedding with a brand new zipper. Everyone walked down the aisle as though nothing had happened!
