"So You Just Got Engaged?"

With the holidays coming up, many couples are getting engaged, which means shortly after, comes the first stages of planning a wedding! It may seem like a challenge with so many things to plan and organize, but before contacting wedding vendors and venues, take some time to brainstorm and jot down some ideas that you envision for your big day. 

Whether you have a specific "theme" in mind or not, one thing that will help tie everything together throughout the planning process is to decide on your wedding colors - this will of course be influenced by the time of year (a spring garden wedding might inspire green tones while a winter wedding silver or gold), but selecting a color or two that you feel really speaks to you will also help you out with choosing flowers, bridesmaid dresses and decor. You may also want to come up with an overall style idea for your wedding: "simple chic", "eco-friendly", "old hollywood", etc. This will really help narrow down the wide range of wedding ideas out there into something much more manageable.

What’s so great about the internet are the endless resources you can find such as this wedding checklist, which gives you a good breakdown of your planning timeline. As you make your way through all the planning all the way to when you walk down the aisle, remember to have fun with it and don’t feel too restricted with guidelines, but do what feels right!

It’s October and Halloween is just around the corner! Here are some Pumpkin inspired ways to make sure this is the best Halloween your family and friends have ever had!

Hosting a classy Halloween party and need something delicious to serve to your guests as they mingle in the living room while you slave away in the kitchen? Here’s a recipe for a classic fall drink that will really set the holiday mood for your fabulous party.

Pumpkin Martini

Ingredients:
• 3 oz Infused Spiced Pumpkin Vodka (can also substitute with 2 1/2 oz cinnamon vodka and 1/2 oz Bols Pumpkin Smash Liqueur)
• 1 oz Amaretto
• Toasted pumpkin seeds or Cinnamon for garnish

Preparation:
In a shaker filled with ice, combine all ingredients and stir gently. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and top with toasted pumpkin seeds, or a cinnamon stick and serve!

Décor idea to go with your Pumpkin Martini:
Go one step further and decorate the coffee table or living room area where your guests will be enjoying their Pumpkin Martini’s with this simple décor idea:


Place some decorative pumpkins (or real ones) as small centerpieces along your table. Cake stands, or platters serve as perfect display methods. Adding some fabric fall colored leaves or candles around the pumpkins will also give it that October touch.
