Pure Bliss

It was Pure Bliss.....seeing our recent Newport destination event featured in a Bliss Celebrations! Congrats to Lisa & Matthew for being one of the amazing couples chosen (among hundreds) of  submissions!



                                                                                                                                                                   It was all things nautical for this fun rehearsal party that started aboard the Schooner Aurora
and ended with a dinner at The Regatta Place on Goat Island. “It was an absolute pleasure working
with Lisa to design and plan her gorgeous Newport destination wedding weekend,” said Kristin
Love, event planner, Details with Love. Guests were welcomed with a custom Newport-themed goodie bag by Details with Love filled with an array of nautical favors. Then everyone enjoyed a traditional New England-style lobster boil complete with Del’s lemonade (a local favorite). A groom’s cake was created with all of Matt’s favorite things: aquatic life, the couple’s dogs, and his alma maters Providence College (where they both are graduates) and Kansas State. The evening concluded with a slideshow of childhood photos of the soon-tobe newlyweds.

Let me call you sweetheart

Valentine's day gives us the chance to show our sweetest side to the ones we love. Any heart-shaped candies turn simple, sweets into an expression of love. And we are always swoon over the message of love, especially in chocolate! Here are 2 of our simply sweet favorites: 
 (I truly believe this is one of the things that won my husband over; and we of course used for our wedding cake topper;)

Chocolate Covered Strawberries 

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 

Serves: 1 pound chocolate covered strawberries

 

Ingredients

6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 pound strawberries with stems (about 20), washed and dried very well

Directions

Put the semisweet chocolate into heatproof medium bowls. Fill 2 medium saucepans with a couple inches of water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Turn off the heat; set the bowls of chocolate over the water to melt. Stir until smooth. Once the chocolates are melted and smooth, remove from the heat. Line a sheet pan with parchment or waxed paper. Holding the strawberry by the stem, dip the fruit into the dark chocolate, lift and twist slightly, letting any excess chocolate fall back into the bowl. Set strawberries on the parchment paper. Sprinkle with your favorite confections. Set the strawberries aside until the chocolate sets, about 30 minutes.

(What could be more romantic than sharing hot chocolate by the fire on a chilly NE February evening/morning;)

 

Hot chocolate with marshmallow hearts 

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 

Serves: 2
Simply make 2 cups of your favorite hot chocolate and top with (strawberry heartmallows) by Kraft.
 (our favorite is Jacques Torres wicked hot chocolate, it always reminds us of our NYC engagement;)

Xoxo: these confections of affection may induce blushing!
