Kim King Smith Events loves the idea to add your pooch to the wedding party.  Its just an extra special touch for your big day.; especially if he’s “dressed to the  nines” in a classic tuxedo or other adorable outfit.  Finding a stylish skirt or suit for your pet can be simple and not too pricey on great sites like DoggieCloseline, www.doggiecloseline.com .   By including your cutest K9 not only  will  you snatch some absolutely adorable images, but include the “entire family”.

Oh my word!  I had to share these IMMEDIATELY!! What a fun idea from www.mycakies.com; red velvet cupcakes in a Mason Jar. 

Wouldn’t this make a great favor, shower dessert or gift?  Imagine taking these to the office as surprises for your fellow workers.  Wow, the list could go on…..

The recipe below is a tweak of Paula Dean’s recipe.  Can’t wait to try it.  Let us know, here at Kim King Smith Events, if you do and how they turn out!

Follow these easy directions and enjoy! Bake the cupckaes, split in half, put half in the jar, a little cream cheese icing, the next half and a big kiss of cream cheese icing on top :):)  Put the lid on and tie a fork around the jar.  Remember, when using cream cheese, you MUST keep refrigerated (better safe than sorry).

New twist on cupcakes!

This is very creative and fun for spring.  From the Design Sponge, http://www.designspongeonline.com/ a strawberry plant wreath centerpiece you could make. This centerpiece wreath is a definite DIY project for you crafty fans. 

 If you have never seen a strawberry plant, go to a nursery this spring and take a look.  They are really pretty.  Make sure to check out this website’s other designs and ideas for decor.

 Wouldn’t this be a great centerpiece for brunch guests or when your mom and grandmother visit?  You could always invite us over from Kim King Smith Events for tea too:)

Recycling at Its Best

As I was reading another blog, (at Kim KIng Smith Events we are constantly researching new trends and ideas for you) The Ritzy Bee, http://ritzybee.typepad.com/my_weblog/ I remembered an idea and floral I love. A great way to be earth friendly and unique is to consider succulents for your wedding or party.  These hardy little plants can take lots of action, little water and remain perfect.  I love their many soft hues.  Fab for your party or event, they now can even be rented. Yes, used again!  How eco friendly! Look at these great photos for ideas from The Knot, http://www.theknot.com/,  Martha Stewart, http://www.marthastewartweddings.com/ and Kojo Designs, http://kojodesigns.blogspot.com/
