Twisted Silver
Amazing unique jewelry for your wedding day or as a gift for your bridal party...
Home of the Affordable Convertible
Twisted Silver is the imaginative trailblazer of the "convertible jewelry" movement. Belts become necklaces...become chokers... become multi-wrap bracelets! Rare is it to find a piece of jewelry always outside of the box, yet instantaneously fashionable and recognizable.
Because Twisted Silver lets you define how to wear the jewelry, your imagination is your only limitation. Give free reign to your individuality. One piece of jewelry.....SO many options! It's great to be a girl!
How it all began...
Jessica's e-mail to PR Wedding Planner...
Additional Details You'd Like To Share: I saw your $2000.00 wedding package with "no exceptions" but I have a question. Does this mean that you don't do weddings with more than 8 guests, or is it that the price just rises? As mentioned above, we are planning on having about 20 guests. If you would still do a wedding of that size, please let me know. I'm very excited to find a planner that offers an all-inclusive wedding package, and because we are not wanting a reception--this type of package would work out great. Does the package include the ceremony location fee? Also, we were thinking of having the wedding in March or April. Oh, and one more question. The thought of having a videographer has come across my mind. Have you ever worked with one? Thanks for any help, and I look forward to hearing from you!!!
On June 10, 2008 I received the above e-mail from Jessica inquiring about my services... 6 months later I wrapped up one of the most amazing, sweet, romantic, lovely and meaningful weddings I have ever planned! The couple have been together for 10 years (they are 24) and were sure they were meant for each other, after working with them for over 6 months... I am sure of it too! They are considerate, thoughtful, smart, logical and just plain "good folk". I have planned many weddings in my day and I must say that the love and support in the air on their wedding day was tangible!
Jessica & Matt, I wish you both a lifetime of health, joy and true wedded bliss! May December 5th be the start of a lifetime of true happiness...
Your wedding planner,
Lisa

Looking for unique wedding invites... Linda & Harriett
Beautiful, unique, whimsical, classic wedding invites... Linda & Harriett
Custom designs available
Linda & Harriett was started by Liz Coulson Libre in 2005 as a custom hand-stamp invitations line. Liz worked one on one with the client to come up with the design and had rubber stamps made specifically for that invitation. Each piece was then hand-stamped, resulting in a fully customized and handmade invitation set.
After deciding she wanted to make her designs available as note card sets, Liz began to experiment with letterpress printing – a form of press printing that grew out of hand printing with stamps and woodblock type. In May of 2007, Linda & Harriett launched its first line of letterpress note cards. And now with the help of its printer in Portland, Maine, Linda & Harriett has a full line of letterpress note cards, oversized flats and its first calendar. And as of November 2007, Linda & Harriett is now exclusively offering custom designed letterpress invitations.

Sweets From The Sweethearts...
One wedding trend that does not seem to get old is the candy buffet or confection bar consisting of a variety of candies and treats placed in varied sizes of glass containers, jars or decorative containers on a table.The buffets can serve a two fold purpose. They of course, taste good to your guests, and can work as a wedding favor as well. Your guests can select the candies of their choice, and only those that want a treat will come to get one...no leftovers all around your reception tables to clean up at the end of the night. A special touch of your favorite candies and small beautiful treat bags can wrap up your special evening.
Here are some tips and ideas to help you create a beautiful candy buffet at a low cost.
- Find affordable containers at the Dollar Stores, Wal-Mart, and even yard sales or flea markets. Get clear glass containers that are affordable and look nice. Buy large and small containers for a nice variety. Don’t forget to buy scoopers for getting the candy out of the containers. Remember if you use containers to place them on display blocks that are then covered by the table cloth and assorted decorations. This creates a tiered effect and makes the table visually appealing.
- Keep in mind that guests will need to reach into the vase to pull out candy. Choose vases with wide enough mouths to allow for easy access.
- Small Chinese food take out containers make cute containers. You can get these in your wedding colors, and/or add ribbon or stickers with your name and date.
- Decorate the table – tablecloths, table runners, flowers, pictures. These things can be added to make your candy buffet table great. Coordinate your table with your wedding colors. You can get great prices on containers, decorations, paper and table supplies (even candy) at Shindigz and Oriental Trading Company, Inc.
- You can add extra decor such as a chocolate fountain, cookies, candy bars or any other dessert items you like such as brownies, cookies or even pie slices. If it has sugar in it ... it works.
- If money is not an option or space, you can rent a carnival candy station (with cotton candy cones), popcorn machines, or even buy popcorn already in containers..
- Purchase affordable candy – don’t forget those after holiday sales. Purchase candies after Halloween, Christmas, Valentine’s Day and Easter and put it away for your wedding. Candy usually stays fresh for at least 6 months. Buy candy in bulk at places like Candy You Ate as a Kid, Sam’s Club and Costco.
- Buy sodas from Jones Soda -- where the cans are personalized with the bride and grooms face and name. (It's a definite conversation piece.)
- Color makes a difference – coordinated colors look more elegant than random selections.
- If you are having a theme or holiday wedding such as Christmas, ribbon candies, candy canes and other holiday candies add a nice touch.
- Also, be sure to have some clearly marked sugar free, peanut free, milk free, and gluten free candies for those with food allergies/ intolerances or special diets. Just so everyone can be included.
Some things to think about:
- How much candy would you need for 100 guests? A good rule of thumb is 1/4-1/2 pound PER GUEST. People tend to eat more when it’s a candy free for all! This comes out to about 40-50 pounds of candy.
- How many type of candy should you buy? It's up to you, but somewhere between 8-12 types is a good variety. Too many varieties and you won’t have enough of anything. Too few varieties, and you’ll likely run out of the “top choices”.
- What type of candy should you buy? Get candy that is individually wrapped such as Hershey Kisses, or has a hard coating (like M&Ms). Gummi items can get hard if they sit out too long, licorice is too sticky for guests to pull on all night unless it is individually wrapped. The most successful candies will be wrapped or hard. And, again, remember to buy scoops.... no one wants candy when hands have been in it... especially if there are children at the wedding. And, don't forget the Jordan almonds ... they are a staple at weddings.
- Is a candy buffet expensive? It can be. It all depends on what you buy and how much you buy.
There are no rules to a candy buffet/bar it is an easy and fun way for your guests to take a sweet treat home with them.
Happy sweet tooth from your wedding planner,
Lisa
