Bridal Bag Glam....

I recently found a beautiful bridal handbag that I thought would be perfect for a bride that’s not afraid to embrace fashion. When I saw the bridal bags they spoke volumes to me but of course I’ve never met a bag that I did not love {ok, I met a Louis Vuitton that was $2500.00 and I couldn’t image paying that much for a handbag}. Dionne Green is the artistic designer behind Susej Designs and looking at all of her creative handbags you can appreciate the intricate details. Each bridal bag is customized with the couple’s wedding date with an inscription that reads “on this day of (the date is written),” I will marry my friend.”. What a great gift to give a bride or maid of honor…. The front of the bag is a white wedding dress with clusters of tulle and flowers adorned with faux pearls to form the skirt of the dress . The bustier is decorated with a single strand of Swarovski crystals and faux pearls and the bride is wearing a veil. The entire bag is beautiful and I invite you take a look at Susej Designs {at}www.susejdesigns.com

Warmest Regards,

Out Of The Box Tuesday

A new edition to The Art of Inspiration blog is “Out Of The Box" Tuesday. This is dedicated to the entrepreneur who thinks outside of the box, who inspires others or simply has that “wow” factor. I decided the entrepreneur would not only be from within the wedding industry but anyone who inspires others.
My first “Out Of The Box” honoree is Renae Bluitt, the founder of Crush Media and In Her Shoes blog. I chose Renae because she’s an inspiration to others and let’s face it... she has that “wow” factor. As I read her blog I realized there is something for everyone, no matter what's your style, you'll walk away with something. I encourage any reader looking for something uplifting & empowering to check out In Her Shoes Blog{@} www.inhershoesblog.com.

Renae keep bringing the flair!

Jacksonville’s Original Cupcake Bakery
There’s a saying , a cupcake is a cupcake is a cupcake. Well that’s not the case at CamiCakes Cupcakes, which showcases at least 16 varieties of the sweet treats. Cupcake connoisseurs can sample favorites like Red Velvet and Strawberries n' Cream but shouldn't overlook the Classic Cami Cupcake. The Classic Cami Cupcake is the signature yellow cake with classic pink buttercream frosting which is truly one of my favorites. At $2.50 a cupcake, it's okay to indulge. I would highly suggest if ordering a dozen or more to place your order 24 hrs in advance….

There are two locations to sweeten your day: the Orange Park location 1910 Wells Rd., Orange Park, (904) 541-1099 & the Tinseltown location on Southside Boulevard, 9734-5 Deerlake Ct., Tinseltown, (904) 998-4611 [ www.camicakes.com ]

Yummy!

Social Networking

Well it's been a long time since I have posted anything and I recognize I'm not the most savvy blogger but I have decided I would try to post interesting things on a reqular bases. I've been working on updating my look on Myspace, Facebook, Twitter and Bridal Tweet and I'm excited. It's interesting to see what other wedding vendors are doing during these tough economic times. I realize this is the time to re-introduce myself and reach out to other wedding vendors.

Warmest Regards,
