Succulent Love

Martha gets me every time. Sometime last year she featured a story with the MOST delicious gold succulent floral accents … and I died. As Henry would say, call 1-800 Caskets. Since then, we’ve been BFFs — bestie floral friends. We adore these little beauties — gilded and in their natural green state. It’s something...

Nutty for Nutella

We LOVE our share of high-calorie, high-carb, fried, sugar-filled sweets at the BZ office. However, in our constant search for “healthier*” snack options, we are are ALL about Nutella these days. You might call us a little nutty for Nutella. OB. SESSED. This hazelnut spread definitely hits the spot, especially on long work days. And...

Not Just A Chick Flick

Nobody will ever forget films like Runaway Bride, The Wedding Planner and My Best Friend’s Wedding. The classics. That said, go right ahead and add Bridesmaids to the “Top Five Wedding Films of All Time” list. It’s that good. At $152.9 million, Bridesmaids is now the top-grossing female comedy in all of Hollywood history. And I...

Marfa Road Trip

BZ road trip! We recently returned from the oh-so-fascinating town of Marfa, Texas, where we were scouting for an upcoming Fall wedding. Yay, Marfa. Gotta love a desert town filled with amazing art, delicious restaurants, random hipsters and Teepees. Marfa population = 2,000. And they are all some mighty interesting characters … While we were...

BZ hearts MDD

Move over Housewives, our new favorite show at the BZ office is Bravo’s Million Dollar Decorators. We LOVE these crazy designers and spend a nice chunk of time dissecting each episode’s design plan, the color palettes and which ideas we can “borrow” for events. And courtesy of our new favorite way to “waste” time, we...

Cuke Crazy

It’s hot out there. Damn hot. And a brand new yummy has come into my life that really hits the spot on a hot Austin day… the Cucumber Martini. I have always been a fan of the cucumber, but more so in salads and not really in my cocktails. I am now a changed woman....

Let’s Do Shots

I’m not totally sure about this one, but I can be convinced. In the past few months, I’ve had seen a story on Martha Stewart Weddings AND had a super-chic BZ bride (no names!) ask me about doing a classy jello “shot” bar at her wedding. Hmmmm … is this the hottest new wedding trend?...

Tot-tastic

Ever since Cortney and I went on our Phoenix field trip, and had the most amazing bar snack ever, I have been coo coo for tater tots. Hello, major high school cafeteria flashbacks. Tots rock. Fun Foodie facts — Australians call them potato pom poms. And in the good old US of A, we eat...

Pining for Pinterest

Happy almost-Friday, peeps. Peeps. Easter. Get it? And Happy Passover, too, friends! In all seriousness, I wanted to share one of my new and most favorite ways to waste time on the Internet! Facebook — blah. Twitter — so 2010. Google Reader — I can’t even begin to keep up. This year, it’s all about...

Royal Wedding Watch

We are starting to get giddy for the wedding of the year … the Royal Wedding! And we’re equally in love with the May issue of British Vogue, shot by Mario Testino, which features the ultimate in romantic wedding day style. Romantic frocks, ethereal make up, whimsical hair. We love the dreamy and soft feel....
