Swarovski Crystal Rhinestones

I love these pictures of genuine Swarovski crystals. We just got another shipment in. I love how these sparkle.

We only use Swarovski crystals because the look is far superior to the other options out there. Put our rhinestones next to the "other" kind. It is so easy to see that using the right crystal can really make your invitation.

Rhinstones are our favorite way to add sparkle to an invitation, enhance the elegance and look of the invitation.

Just one small rhinestone can be placed at tip of a monogram or in the center of an invitation to balance out the spacing of the wording.

Swarovski Crystals come in a variety of colors. The colored rhinestones can be used to bring in the wedding colors to an invitation in a simple and elegant way.

Place Cards

Place cards are an elegant touch for formal events. Using place cards is a way to organize your guests into groups to make the event more enjoyable for them. This way you can accommodate seating requirements, etc. But place cards can also be used for practical purposes as well.

Consider Taryn and David. This couple hosted a sit-down dinner for 250 people following their wedding ceremony. Each guest requested one of three entrée choices on their rsvp cards. Taryn wondered how to let the servers know which guests ordered the chicken entrée, who selected the beef entrée, and who needed the vegetarian option.

Taryn wanted a consistent look to the tables, so we opted to design a place card that changed out the ribbon as the embellishment. We used Taryn and David’s wedding colors to accent the place cards. A green ribbon on the place card instructed the server to bring chicken. A gold ribbon meant beef, and a black ribbon was for the vegetarian dish.

Place cards can also be used as food labels for buffet style serving. By labeling the food, there is no question regarding what the food item is. Food labels are especially useful for labeling assortments of smaller finger foods and buffet-type meals.

You can use place cards, or food labels as a way to continue your wedding theme, and add color and style to your table.

With the multitude of options available for these functional and fun cards, these cards can be a fun way to enhance your special event.

Wedding Favor Ideas - The Candy Bar and Startup Candy

Candy Bars are a great way to personalize weddings favors by using some of the bride and groom’s favorite candies. The display is not only colorful and beautiful, but the candy groupings are sure to delight your guests’ tastebuds as well.

One of our favorite treats for candy bars are suckers from Startup Candies. These old-fashioned jumbo pops are fun for children and adults. The quality of these lollipops can’t be matched. Not only are the flavors exceptionally delicious but, the lollipops come on beautiful wooden sticks. We are yet to find another lollipop that comes on a wooden stick.

Since they come in 27 different flavors, they are sure to have a color combination that will work for your wedding.

We first saw the Startup Candy lollipops at the wedding reception of Kim and Trent. They had suckers displayed in matching apothecary jars with the bride and groom’s initials on the jar. The result was simple, elegant and so fun. We were hooked!

Now, we give our brides one of these lollipops when they come in for a consultation as a tasty treat.

Startup Candy has a great history starting in England, then coming across the plains with the pioneers, eventually settling here in Utah Valley in 1875. The trade has now been passed down for 5 generations. Everything is still hand made, here locally, in their Provo Factory.

Start-up Candy has other fun vintage candy options. Check out their website for more information: www.startupcandy.com or at 801.373-8673.

Thank you Startup for providing the best quality candy for Paper Hearts!
