My newest obsession in prettiness? Black and white bridal bib necklaces! Tied with ribbon, layered with bling, and stop-you-in-your-tracks gorgeous, these statement pieces will add a whole lot of drama to any look you’re after. Wear one with your wedding gown and add a new level of modern style to your big day, or pair one with nearly anything else in your wardrobe- your little black dress, your favorite layered fall outfit, or your funky jeans and t-shirt- and watch all the eyes in the room gravitate toward you.

Readers behold! The ever illusive and hard to find, the mysteriously absent from the wedding market place, the project that forces many to do-it-themselves- the damask table runner!
After years of receiving e-mails from brides looking for these rare decor accessories and being amazed that there just aren’t many resources creating them, I was thrilled to run across Longrunners on Etsy.com. The shop owner and lovely mother of two offers table runners and other accessories in multiple sizes, patterns and color combinations, will work with you to create just the pieces you’re looking for, and even makes many items available to rent! The black and white damask is always a classic choice, but I have to say I’m loving the preppy pink and green and the yellow, black and white damask as well, and that mod multi-colored floral print table runner would be amazing anywhere. Thank you Longrunners, for solving this difficult wedding dilemma!
Amy Atlas takes dessert to a whole new level with one-of-a-kind decadent displays that are as divine to behold as they are to devour! In the last few years her work has been seen in every major wedding and culinary magazine and on dozens of blogs including our own. We had the chance to see Amy’s amazing work in person at Mindy Weiss’s Most Ridiculous Wedding Event Ever (see the vibrant citrus colored dessert table below!) and to sit down with her to find out how she makes her business stand out from the crowd.
Q: Amy, now that your work is sought-after by scores of celebrities and society couples Im curious how it all began. What first inspired you to create your unique dessert displays?
A: I actually started out as a lawyer with a passion for entertaining. I love to cook and celebrate with people I love and I started creating dessert tables for my parties with back drops that complimented the displays. My friends and family thought I was creating something unique and fabulous and they urged me to launch my business. I am forever grateful for their encouragement and support.
Q: What inspires you today?
A: I love beautifully decorated cakes and there are some amazing artists creating them in todays market. I strive to bring the same level of design and attention to detail to my dessert displays. Most of all its the people that I work with that inspire me, they are endlessly creative and always delightful.
Q: What do you love most about your job?
A: I love to work with vivid color and patterns to create something that resonates with the unique personality of each celebration. I love to weave the fashion style of each of my clients into their display to make each one relevant to them. Fashion plays a big part in my approach to design. I encourage my clients to break the rules if it fits, in order to create something that truly reflects their personalities.
Q: What the best advice anyone has ever given you?
A: My husband, Rick, is my business advisor. When I first started out he told me to focus on my niche, to do what I do well and to not try to do everything. I think this is great advice for many aspects of life. If you know what you are truly passionate about and what you bring to the world that no one else can youre bound to succeed.
Q: What advice do you have for our readers?
A: Never give up. If you set your mind to something and pour your heart into it, you can get it done. If you have a goal you can get there. Stay on course, dont give in and dont sell out.
Q: If you were getting married today what goodies would you have on the table?
A:Christopher Norman chocolates, macaroons from La Maison du Chocolat and lots of chocolate and peanut butter combinations. I had a chocolate and peanut butter cake at my wedding seven years ago and I would still choose one today. I love mini-cupcakes, Reeses peanut butter cups, Kit Kats and Nestle crunch- theyre my favorite Halloween treats.
Thanks Amy! It was so fabulous to finally meet you! To lean more about Amy Atlas Events and the tasty art that she creates, be sure to visit her website.
