Luxe Wedding Garters by florrie mitton couture
I’ve never been a huge fan of garters– I’ve gotta admit. Mostly because I think their designs are just flat out cheesy. Polyester strapped to my thigh? No thanks. But these garters by florrie mitton… well, they single handedly made me change my mind all together! The UK based designer has created handmade works of art with vintage finds, lace, and fine silks. You must check out their etsy store to see more of their custom designs. It’s just pretty, pretty, pretty.
xo!
Delicious Vendors: Whimsey Spice
I came across this delightful etsy store via Swanky Tables a long time ago. Whimsey & Spice is the creation of Jenna and Mark, an art direction and a pastry chef living in New York. They specialize in making sweet food with a dash of spice. I have to admit, I haven’t tried Whimsey & Spice personally, but I can tell you that if it tastes only half as good as it looks, I might develop an addiction!
Among their products, my favorites have to be the pillows they call marshmallows, butterscotch bars, and the gorgeous earl gray sandwich cookies. Yum! For more delicious goodness, visit their etsy shop. They also have a wonderful blog, sweet fine day, where they share insight into their business and family. It is one of my favorite daily reads in my rss feed!
Holiday Cocktail Party Invitations
The best parties start with a fabulous invitation! Just like your save the dates and wedding invitations, an invite to your cocktail party gives guests a glimpse into the style, formality, and overall theme. If you must, you can always do e-invites, but I prefer to send something beautiful in the mail instead. Here are a few invitations I really love and think you will too:
Invitations by Jubilee
First up are the invitations Jubilee is offering through our etsy store. They all have a vintage vibe to them with fun and catchy phrases. We can customize them for you too, based on your parties color scheme!
Good Golly, Lets Get Jolly
This one is a favorite of mine — and I love that it is double sided! Click here to see more!
Holiday Soiree
This invitation was originally designed for our own fabulous holiday party, which we’re throwing on the 20th of December. I love that it is double sided, too! Click here to see more.
The tree won’t be the only thing that’s lit…
This one is fun and a slight variation to the invitation that Mike and I sent out to our first holiday party three years ago. Click here to see more.
Eat Drink & Be Merry
I love the design and colors in this fill-in-the-blank party invitation by MewPaperArts on etsy. Click here to see more.

Jubilee is on Etsy with Custom Holiday Cards & Save the Dates
I have a super fabulous announcement to make (which many of you may already know about): Jubilee is now on etsy.com! After a little bit of pressure from our friends and clients, we’ve decided to offer a casual line of holiday cards, party invites, save the dates, and thank you cards. I am super excited about the designs I have featured and invite all our friends to go take a look.
I’ve also received a few requests from our colleagues and vendor friends looking for personalized “business brand” holiday cards. If you’d like a custom design based around your business brand give me a holler and we’ll come up with something fabulous! Here are a few of my favorite designs:
Off to BizBash!
I’m out of the office today because I’m spending some time in Manhattan for BizBash, an annual conference for wedding and event planners. It should be fun! I always look forward to meeting new vendors and seeing what is up-and-coming in wedding styles and designs. I also wanted to remind all our readers about our exciting contest where one Connecticut couple will win full service planning from Jubilee!
While you are browsing the internets today, do us a favor and visit one of our favorite couture invitation designer and friend, Erin from Brides Design. She opened up an etsy shop and takes custom orders!
I have so much exciting content to get up in the next few weeks! I can’t wait to share. Plus, I have some really knowledgeable and talented Connecticut vendors guest blogging. So, enjoy this very cold autumn day!
Vendor Spotlight: Chapeau de Gateau
I came across Chapeau de Gateau on etsy.com this afternoon during my weekly window peeping. I love to poke around and see what the fabulous and talented etsy craftspeople have been up to. Chapeau de Gateau makes mini cake toppers out of ribbon. They have a very preppy “Martha-chic” feel to them and quite frankly, I think they are darling! They would also look beautiful as decor elements for a bridal shower. Wouldn’t they be lovely as a card box (if made on a larger scale) or on the desert table for decoration?
