Stylish Yumminess (the best kind of yumminess)

This has nothing to do with anything, although I can pretend that it does by telling you that these would make such a lovely favor for a winter wedding. Which if you're going to bother with a favor (less and less couples are these days), make it edible! So few people save the trinkets like mini picture frames and whatnot.

Anyway back to the yummy picture at right... isn't it gorgeous? I swiped it from Design*Sponge, which is my favorite daily read of all the (perhaps too many) blogs that I follow. What a great example of how putting a simple twist on a basic concept can completely personalize it and make it all the more special without much (if any) more effort or expense. And we all know that everything tastes better when it's fancified.

So when planning your next event, keep that in mind, and swap out the white linens for something colorful or patterned, serve a signature drink instead of plain old wine (just rename your wine something fun if you're short on time!), or cut your dessert cookies into anything other than a circle. Life's in the details and the details should reflect you!

Now I'm off to attempt to make some cookies. Anyone have any good (and more importantly, easy) recipes? Please share!
