Loving Spoonfuls: Food for Your Connecticut Wedding Reception

Image
If you haven't been to a wedding reception where you were served a reheated stuffed chicken breast or dry roast beef, you probably haven't been to a wedding reception. When it comes to your wedding day, you want to do better for your guests, and that may mean thinking beyond standard reception hall fare. If impressing your guests with your wedding repast is high on your priority list, the first thing you want to do is find out what restrictions your intended reception venue places on catering. If the venue requires you to use their catering staff and menu, be certain you are happy with the options they provide. Always, always, always, no matter how delicious the offerings sound, ask for a tasting session so you can see how the dishes you have in mind will be presented and taste.

Atmosphere Productions: Choosing Wedding Rings That Will Express Your Love Forever

Image
After the bouquet is tossed, the cake is cut, and music from the last dance has faded away, one part of your wedding endures—your wedding rings.  While these tokens may not be the details that catch the eye of your guests, you and your spouse will look at them every day—hopefully, for the rest of your lives. Your choice should reflect who you are, as individuals and a couple. Match Game Do your rings have to match? Not unless you want them to. For some women, it’s critical that their engagement ring and wedding band go perfectly together. If the band is also expected to match the husband’s, that may seriously limit his choices. So don’t feel pressured to buy wedding bands as a matched set. The reality is, you’re not going to be physically attached at the left hand for the next fifty years: no one will notice or care if you’re not wearing identical rings. If coordination is important to you, get rings of the same metal with complementary, but not identical, styles. Style Poi...

Carte Blanche provides an authentic live experience of a variety of jazz and international styles. Heralded by the likes of Darcy Miller, David Stark, and Martha Stewart, amongst others, Carte Blanche takes us on a journey through warm classic sounds spanning jazz, bossa nova, and other lush world musics across the 1920s, 1930s, and beyond.  Carte Blanche has performed around the world for celebrities and royalty alike.  Dressed in authentic 1920’s style outfits, Carte Blanche has the ability to transport the listener to a vintage American speakeasy or a Parisian café one minute, and the streets of Havana the next. Sultry female vocals in seven different languages which recall the sounds of Ella Fitzgerald, Edith Piaf, Buena Vista Social Club and Lila Downs combine with the band’s versatile style to perform musical selecti...
