Thursday Trend Day | Prohibition Bakery | Boozie Cupcakes

 

Today we got some yummy, boozie wedding trends to serve ya!
Wait for it... yes it's boozie cupcakes! I know! Right here in NYC, Prohibition Bakery is whipping up some oh so yummy cupcakes with fun names like White Russian and Sex on the beach!

Here is more form Brooke and Leslie, co-owners of Prohibition Bakery: We got started in 2011 after we met in January of that year.  We've been on the catering scene up until we opened the store this week.  We only make mini alcoholic cupcakes--no red velvet or vanilla here.  Our best seller is the Pretzels & Beer.  Brooke's favorite is the margarita and Leslie's favorite is the Sangria.
Our cupcakes are a fantastic option for brides. They are bite sized, beautiful, and sophisticated.  They are also significantly cheaper than a wedding cake, and tend to please a larger array of palates.  We have brides who like to have us incorporate a favorite beer or spirit, or perhaps one that will be featured at the wedding.

What do you think ladies will you be boozing it up at your bridal shower or wedding with these cupcakes? I know I will be heading downtown for a few myself for umm... happy hour?

A Real New York Wedding Engagement Photoshoot | Amy & Derek

Loving this engagement shoot submitted by the amazing Turnquist Photography!
Here is more from the photographer: We absolutely fell in love w/ this couple as soon as we met up with them near their apartment in NYC. She's an elementary school teacher who fell in love with a man who still loves Spiderman. We had so much fun hanging out & getting to know their story a little more. We started in a park nearby their apartment where Derek proposed to Amy. We got a photo of the exact chess bench he popped the question. Then we roamed around the streets where Derek had all he could do to contain himself from "shooting out the web" from his wrist. Got a few shots of that in his spidey t-shirt none the less. So Fun!

A Classic Real Wedding | The New York wedding of Amanda and Jeff

I love this real wedding submitted by the very talented Zac Wolf Photography.
I love all the romantic photos and how happy the couple looks! And oh yes the shoes!!!

Here is more from Zac: We were blessed with not only beautiful weather but it was at the gorgeous Temple Shaaray Tefila which is not just a massive and beautiful synagogue but it is also where Amanda’s father resides as Head Rabbi. I am stoked to have shot this wedding; even mentally revisiting the moment they first saw each other brings a huge smile to my face. David gave one of the most beautiful ceremonies I have ever seen and I was 100% tearing up while shooting (even more so than normally). In addition to that the band was great and had people dancing all night long. Also, one of the craziest hora’s I’ve ever been trapped in. Every single person at the wedding was having a blast and had a huge smile on their face. What more can I say, candy buffet, dancing, love, family, couches, awesome. I loved this wedding, I love my family. I am very proud to share images of this amazing day with everyone.

Thursday Trend Day | Blush Wedding Inspiration featuring Luxury Wedding Invitations by Lela New York

It's no secret I love pink but blush has a special place in my heart! I'm in love with this color and it is still going strong. I especially love blush when it is combined with more of a glam and elegant look or mixed with metallics like silver. Oh so lovely! Check out the inspiration above with the pretty glitter table design and the lovely blush shoes. Did you see our luxury Lela New York wedding invitations?! I know! Below is a closer look.

A Real Wedding in NYC | Brie & Evan's Battery Park Gardens Wedding | A Pink Modern Wedding

I'm loving this pink and black wedding with luxury details photographed by the amazing Christopher Duggan Photography!
Here is more from Christopher: Brie & Evan had so much fun getting married—the entire day was filled with laughter.
Evan is a theater director, actor and acting teacher, and Brie sings, dances and acts, so both bride and groom added some theatrical elements to their wedding. Evan quoted Shakespeare in his vows to Brie. They cut the cake with a sword. And Brie performed for Evan, singing “Making Love out of Nothing at All” by Air Supply.
Brie performs along with groomsmen on rock band
Battery Gardens is a beautiful place for a wedding, both indoors and out, and I really enjoyed photographing the happy bride and groom in such a fantastic venue.
