For some weddings where the couple is providing their own alcohol, sometimes it can be hard to figure out how much to spend for the quality of wine you'll be getting. I was recently invited to a wine tasting by wedding planner extraordinaire Alison Hotchkiss (Alison Events) for Cupcake Vineyards, and while I'm not a big drinker, I was pleasantly surprised by the price point, and more importantly, the taste!
They have a full series of wines to choose from, reds, whites, sparkling,...

The signature drink is one of those all-important elements of fun that can stand out at your wedding, if concocted properly.
Our couples look to Mr. Valley (aka Nick), to help them create that perfect signature cocktail based on criteria he's narrowed down from their favorite brews, liquors and tastes, as well as the ambiance they're going for at their event, the season and the menu. Signature cocktails can go so wrong and become a waste of alcohol and money if they're not created...

Papabubble was a fabulous find I discovered years ago near Little Italy, and I've truly been obsessed every since. The candy flavors are totally unique, and they can customize the sweets to have your names, initials, monogram or really, whatever your heart desires!
They're great for bachelorette parties and bridal showers too, especially if you get their jumbo candy rings.
Will you incorporate custom candies into your I Do's?

Looking for a sweet treat for guests in addition to your wedding cake? Maybe you want to do away with the tiered tradition altogether?
