The Wine Box

We loved the idea that our beautiful couple had at their wedding and wanted to share it with you.

The Wine Box is a beautiful sentiment that a couple can share with one another. You can decorate it with the same flowers you had at your wedding, along with ribbon in your color scheme and why not add some ivy and grapes! The fun and romantic part is what comes next.

Start off by taping or glueing your invitation inside the top lid of the box. Next, add two wine glasses: here you can have fun with decorating them, personalizing the glass with your names or using two pieces that may be a family heirloom. Between the glasses place a bottle of wine from the year you started dating. My favorite part is what you will do next.

A love letter is written from bride to groom and vice versa and sealed in separate envelopes. You can also have each set of parents write a letter to be sealed as well. On your 10 year wedding anniversary, or sooner if you are like me, you open the box, enjoy a glass of wine, read the letters and relive the beautiful day where you celebrated your love for each other with your family and friends!




We hope you enjoyed this as much as we did. I now plan on doing this with my husband for our anniversary!

Candy Buffets!

The hot new trend are candy buffets and we love them! We recently did one for a birthday party and it was a big hit.





What's great about candy buffets are how you can create this fun trendy party decoration to fit any theme and party. The above was done for a sweet little princess who's colors were pink, black and white. It was fun finding all the different candies to fit within this color scheme and the look on the guest of honor's face told us we hit a grand slam! This candy buffet was a great party favor for guests of all ages. And what is so wonderful about this hot trend is that it's not just for birthday's.

We are seeing candy buffets set up at a lot of our weddings. What a great idea! It's the end of the night, you've been dancing up a storm and your sweet tooth is kicking in. You step out for dessert and in addition to the amazing treats the venue has provided, you see a beautiful display of candy in an arrangement of colors. Makes you feel like a kid again!

Just like for a birthday party, this makes for a great party favor for your guests. You can place bags on your table with a sweet note for your guests to read. They will enjoy picking out the wonderful assortment you have provided as well as reading the nice sentiment you had written that shows them how much you appreciated them being there on your special day.



Holiday parties are a great time to have candy buffets as well. They are easy, fun and a different twist to the traditional chips and dip. We love this idea for a Halloween party. It definitely makes for a great centerpiece display in your home and one you guests will love.



Whatever your next event may be, make sure to incorporate this sweet treat. Your guests will love it and you will have fun creating it! We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!!

Congratulations to one of our couples Jay and Sheri!

AART is so excited for our couple Jay and Sheri. Last week Sheri gave birth to a beautiful healthy baby boy! Sheri had decided to not find out what she was having earlier on in her pregnancy which made the birth even more special. And he must have not wanted to be a surprise any longer as he came 3 weeks early! He was born in the early evening and weighed 5lbs 9oz and was 21 inches long! An adorable cute bundle of joy. Many blessings to you and your new family!
