Cupcake Vineyards & a DIY Wedding Reception Cocktail

May 21st, 2012, by Brooklyn Bride

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,...

5 Tips for Crafting the Perfect Signature Cocktail

April 02nd, 2012, by Valley & Co.

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...

For one, the flavors are just crazy....pair red velvet, vegan carrot cake, and chocolate chip (just to name a few) cookies with dirty mint, beer & pretzels and bananas foster ice creams (tons more flavors where those came...

Personalized Sweets for Your Wedding Day

December 12th, 2011, by Brooklyn Bride

  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?

September 21st, 2011, by Courtney

Looking for a sweet treat for guests in addition to your wedding cake?  Maybe you want to do away with the tiered tradition altogether?  Cupcakes, pies, candy tables and tiers of doughnuts are fun alternatives, but let’s face it, by now they’ve lost their uniqueness in the world of weddings.  Below are some of our (not too-overly done) alternatives to wedding cakes.
