A toast is in order.
Only ONE more day until THE party of the wedding planning season.
I can hardly sleep tonight – I am so excited for tomorrow night’s Pre Wedding Party at Bloomingdales Home and Furniture.
You simply must join us – from 6-8 pm at 600 N. Wabash in Chicago’s legendary Medinah Temple. And here’s why…
We debut our eight trend tables for the season’s top wedding color palettes, decor and floral vignettes, paper couture, and so much more.
From the aforementioned Royal Wedding, where we pair our “sneak peek” designs for Kate and Wills with Cacao Bakery’s Mini Whoopie Pie tiered wedding cake.
Can you even imagine this work of art? Candice has been color creating, testing and baking for a week – to perfectly coordinate to Kate (and Diana’s) favorite color…blue.
Tomorrow Cacao debuts the next trend in royal weddings: Wedding Cake Whoopie Pies in beautiful Blueberry with lemon filling, rolled in gold.
Speechless.
See why I can’t possibly sleep?

Now, moving on to Food for Thought Catering’s INCREDIBLE mouth watering menu.
Tell me this isn’t the end all, be all wedding party menu:
