Signature Cocktail – Lavender Whiskey Sour

Posted on June 18, 2013 by steph in gossip 2 Comments

The signature drink… I’ve had this topic on my mind for a while, and trust me, later this year you’ll be seeing a post all about fun do’s and don’ts for signature drinks, but when I saw this recipe from Martha Stewart I knew I just had to pull it out of the Martha Stewart Weddings archive (it’s from 1999!  ah!) and share it with all you Event Crashers!

LavenderWhiskeySour

Let’s start with the ingredients:  ice cubes, 2 ounces of your favorite whiskey, 1 tablespoon of Lavender Sour Syrup, and some fresh lavender sprigs for a garnish.

It’s amazingly easy to make, too.  First fill an 8 ounce glass with ice and pour in the whiskey.  Fill in the glass with the lavender syrup and stir to combine.  Pop in the sprig for garnish and serve immediately.

This cocktail, if served as a signature drink, could easily and quickly be created by bartenders so the bar line stays down and guests remain extremely happy.

 

What about you?  Did you have a signature drink at your wedding?  Leave a comment below and your drink could be featured in an upcoming Signature Drink post on Event Crashers!

[the real deal] Caitlin and Anthony | Hillsborough, New Jersey

Posted on June 17, 2013 by steph in the real deal 2 Comments

Happy Monday, Event Crashers!  I hope you had a lovely weekend full of awesome celebrations!  Joe and I celebrated more birthdays at another Relay For Life event – check out my Instagram for some more photos of that!  More on today’s stunning wedding…

Szaraz-009

Caitlin and Anthony tied the knot on a beautiful spring day last month.  Their day was filled with blooming flowers and trees, crisp air, and details that made their wedding extremely unique.  After the ceremony, Caitlin and Anthony released doves (and you can tell their true fears just off their facial expressions!)  They also set up a live telecast so that Anthony’s grandmother, who was in the hospital, could see the wedding and take part in the celebration in real time!  How amazing is that!?  Jenna, of Jenna Perfette Photography and her second shooter Tatiana did an awesome job capturing the emotion and uniqueness of their day.

10 Wedding Day Manicures

Posted on June 13, 2013 by steph in gossip, top ten 3 Comments

I have a confession.  I have a love-hate relationship with biting my nails.  It’s a horrible habit (and hopefully by coming out with it here I will be so embarrassed I can finally stop for good.)  I go for a while with perfectly painted nails, great manicures and changing colors then all of a sudden one day a snag happens and I just have to get rid of it.  The snowball effect.  Searching for some amazing and unique wedding day manicures though, is motivation to quit and stay away for years and years to come.  Click on the link above the photograph to be taken to the home post!

[the real deal] Brooklyn Turns One

Posted on June 11, 2013 by steph in the real deal No Comments

Put on your party hats and watch Brooklyn blow out the candles as she celebrates her first birthday!  Brooklyn’s party, designed by her mother, was the perfect pairing of whimsy, color, classic and eclectic.  They opted for a modern color palette but added classic touches with sweets and treats.  There were so many amazing details at this California, Bay Area party, including tissue paper pom poms and fabric flag banners all over the house.  All of which made for perfect photos to be captured by Renee Marie Photography.  And of course, no birthday party would be complete without precious little Brooklyn diving into her birthday cake!
