It's all in the Details http://blog.lvlevents.com all you need to know about weddings, events and much more! Wed, 10 Mar 2010 22:55:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 en hourly 1 Trend Alert: Macaroons http://blog.lvlevents.com/2010/03/trend-alert-macaroons/ http://blog.lvlevents.com/2010/03/trend-alert-macaroons/#comments Wed, 10 Mar 2010 22:55:47 +0000 LVL Events http://blog.lvlevents.com/?p=2235 Move over cupcakes, there’s a new trendy dessert in town! Macaroons! These darling little pastries are said to have originated in Italy but are mainly know as a Parisian treat. Macaroons (or macarons if you like) are crisp on the outside while smooth and soft in the middle. These little guys are the new hot item to serve at your next event. You can customize your macaroons in a variety of colors and flavors to coordinate with your wedding or party look.

Just think of all the creative things you can do to display your macaroons. Try stacking these little ones high in a tower, place in cute to-go boxes as favors or set on vintage platters for your guests to nibble on throughout the event.

Paulette Macarons in Beverly Hills (also in San Francisco) has the tastiest and cutest macaroons that they make fresh every day by their award-winning chef, Christophe Michalak. They have 12 everyday classic flavors and will gladly whip up a specialty flavor to your liking. They offer overnight shipping if you can’t get to a location to pick up the macaroons and at only $36 for 2 dozen macaroons, we must say that Paulette’s is the place to get these delicious treats!

Kristin and Brandon’s wedding, featured on Green Wedding Shoes, was absolutely picture perfect (the groom is a photographer by the way) with their rustic and organic feel.

Using raw cotton as a main décor and floral idea created an elegant and gentle effect – perfect for an outdoor ceremony and reception in a wooded area.  These little white puffs of pure softness get our vote for those of you looking to make your wedding more “green.” How unique and gorgeous are these!

Drink. Chic. created these adorable origami heart invites that are so creative and so cute! We love that you can use them for just about anything from Save The Dates, Engagement Party Invitations, Wedding Shower Invitations or even just to send out to friends to say hello.

As a graphic designer, Amy has a good eye for the adding in the special touches like the the idea of using translucent paper to hand-stitch the pockets for the invite. And we must say those pockets do add a special touch to the look of the origami hearts. Amy was kind enough to post a template for all those that want to create their own origami invites. Get ready to brush up on your folding skills and enjoy!

We adore these edible butterflies from Etsy’s seller, SugarRobot. Each butterfly is so lifelike and completely edible!

Adding one of these precious butterflies to a cupcake or to accent a large cake would look fantastic. And what’s even better, is that 20 butterflies are only $8.95! These are cute and so affordable…we like!
