tgif + weekend bliss, Oscars style

via {here}

TGIF to you! I'm off to the beach for a zen weekend with one of my besties - psyched! It will involve a lot of things including watching the Academy Awards on Sunday night. Is anyone attending an Oscars party? There's been a bunch of fantastic posts this week about how to jazz up your own Oscars Party. Check those out here at {Pizzazzerie} and here at {Valley & Co}. There are some fantastic ideas there, so be sure to stop by those blogs. Or you just interested in fun Oscar treats? AMAZING Best Picture cookies over at Amy Atlas' blog! Or if you're a go big or go home kind of awards show fiend, Event Brite dot com has listed the Top 10 Pre-Oscars parties around the nation. Check those out here!  


Any guesses or hopes for Best Picture? I hope Inception takes the cake - mind. blowing.

I've put together my dream weekend ensemble via polyvore dot com. Super fun website - check that out too! Those my theresa suede pumps are after my own heart - le sigh. Okay, party people - have a GREAT Friday and an even better weekend :)

Kat

guest dessert tables

One of my regular reads these days is the blog of dessert guru, Amy Atlas, called Sweet Designs. Whether this is to satisfy my sweet tooth cravings without the calories or just all of the eye-candy, I'm not sure. Regardless, you should check her out!

Many brides & grooms today are opting to offer more than just cake at their receptions. Guest dessert tables and/or candy tables are HUGE trend right now. Amy does fabulous designs herself and she also features dessert designs from submitted entries. Submissions range in types of events, but many fall into the wedding category.

Here are three entries I particularly love:

By Bobbette & Belle

by Amal Sarah of The Wedding Chateau

By Sandra of Sandra Downie Events

And here is one of my favorites by Amy that appeared in the May 2010 issue of Brides magazine!

Is she not BEYOND creative? The vintage birds and blooms set up was a combo by Amy, cake pro Kate Sullivan and was shot by photographer Andrew McCaul.

As you can see, Amy's blog will not disappoint - happy reading!
