Fun with Fleur-de-lis

If you love fleur-de-lis, you'll LOVE this site. It has so many fabulous and elegant entertaining pieces; all with fleur-de-lis. I found lots of great gift ideas.

Getting married? Then you can even create a wedding registry through their site.

Personally, I love how perfect our LuLu damask cupcake wrapper designs look among them.

Calling all Fashionistas

Fashionistas can thank the Italian Catherine de Medici who in 1533 brought high heels into vogue for women. The legend goes that the young Florentine, bride to-be was nervous about her debut entry into the French courts. She needed to dazzle and shine. She needed the right shoes.

She wore heels made in Florence for her wedding, and as a result, Italian high heels became the norm for ladies of the Duke's court in France.

Boy, have high heels come a long way!

Our wrappers on Kelley Moore KING 5 show

Mother's Day is just around the corner. Are you ready?

If not, check out some of the gift ideas here on the Kelley Moore "Moore to Life" show. Hint: our cupcake wrappers are one of her suggestions.

Our Kelley Moore Show Special
Anyone who buys three packs of 12 wrappers and enters the promo code “Kelley” will get them for $12 each ($36 total vs. $42). We can also ship them directly to your mom if you’d like.

Happy Mother's Day!

Oh what a fun-filled day!

Today was a very busy, yet an extremely fun-filled day.

First it began with our Bella Cupcake Couture wrappers being on the Kelley Moore "Moore to Life" show in the morning. It was her Mother's Day gift idea show. The video link should be available soon. In the meantime, here is an overview of the show.

Then I got to present at a local elementary for "Getting Ready for the World of Work" day. I've included a picture of these darling kids. My favorite part was them saying their daily mantra, it went something like "We're here for success. We won't settle for less. We stay focused to do all our best." It was a beautiful thing!

In the evening we visited BizNik's event which was a recording for a new movie called "Shine". It is featuring small business owners and their stories of how they got their start.

And last, but not even least, we went to the CakeSpy's Art Show at Trophy Cupcakes. We got to see Jessie with her fabulous art, meet Jennifer Shea (owner of Trophy Cupcakes), and even got to meet Kelley Moore and her friend who were there to enjoy art and cupcakes.

What a perfect day!

Bravo Bride

We are a new vendor of Bravo Bride.

We have been a big fan of BravoBride and have followed their updates for several months. However, last weekend I actually got to meet the owner Susan Alexander Shapiro during a social get together at a local restaurant with a few friends. She is the sweetest little thing with a very infectious laugh. We had a wonderful time chatting about life, weddings and business.

If you haven't heard of BravoBride, they are an online marketplace where savvy brides buy and sell new and pre-owned wedding items. Shop for designer dresses, jewelry, accessories, decorations, favors and more. All items are FREE to list, check them out!
