...you can't put macarons on a stick?
Or make a whole bouquet out of them!
Cover a couple (or more) with cellophane and tie a pretty bow around them to make pretty bouquet favors! Or you could use just one covered in cellophane and tied with a ribbon/twine at each place seating with a tag attached for seating assignments. Or use a variety of colors (which is one great thing about macarons), and have each table be one color - then write the names of your guests on the tags and attach to the appropriate colored macaron. Wouldn't they be cute all standing up in grass (like a field of flowers), or sand, or wood with holes drilled into it, or in a lollipop stand. Or you could use them on your dessert table in glass vases...lots of options, as always...which I love!
And if you are willing to take on the task - you could make them yourself (or with the help of friends and family). You can find the delicious recipe for the raspberry mascarpone macarons pictured above here. Hope you enjoyed this {special friday edition} of who says!

~ cool sandwich ~
Vanilla bean chocolate ice cream sandwiches...
Would definitely be something I would serve at a summer wedding...especially at the end of a night of dancing! And there's nothing like an ice cream treat to cool you off.
How totally cute are these with their own little wraps and ties?
Perfect individual sweet treats! Get the recipe here.

~ magnificent mousse ~
If I had to choose between salty and sweet...I will almost always choose salty. Oh yes, give me some french fries, potato chips, peanuts and I am a happy, happy girl. However, there are a couple of sweets that I can rarely pass up...one being chocolate mousse! The light as air fluff (as I call it) is so yummy that I just can't resist. And although I would have a small wedding cake, I definitely would be serving up some of these on my dessert table as well...
The perfect bite size treat...don't you think? Just an option for you that is not only pretty, but delicious too. Are you drooling yet? I am!

~ you are seated at... ~
I am sure a lot of you have seen this before...but it's just so great that I had to post anyway. Now this is the out of the box thinking that I love! A whimsical way to seat your guests...
I love the originality here - the way the names are listed on the board with different fonts.
And what a great way to assign tables - no numbers here! Just dragonflies...
Goldfish...
Frogs...
Unicorns...
And lions, rabbits, butterflies - oh my! What table would you wish to be seated at? Me...any would be great...but I really love the stately lion and the frog.

...you can't wear a sequin wedding dress?
...or sequin shoes for that matter?
Can't you just picture the dress at an old hollywood themed wedding? Oh, it would be so glamorous. As for the shoes...any bride can get away with a little bling on her feet!
P.S. - The sequin shoes are called Carly by Kate Spade and are still available...although in a limited selection of sizes.

~ tuesday thought: honeymoon set ~
Since my brain is still recovering from vacay mode...and with 12 days of very little sleep...I am gonna cheat a little on today's thought! But that doesn't mean my thought for today is any less special - I'd say it's just easy. So here it is: buy an already packed suitcase...
Like this amazing white suitcase by Lanvin that comes with a pareo, a tote and pom-pom embellished raffia flip flops!
See easy. Throw in some SPF and swimsuit and off you go! Honestly, does it get any easier than that?

~ flowers of the week: 4.26.10 ~
Well, I think you all know by now that I love a casual bouqet...but, if I had to choose a little more formal style, I think this just might be it!
I am swooning over the colors here! With just a couple hints of green from the leaves, I think this is stunning! And I am so happy to say that the a.maz.ing designer of this bouquet, A. Hana Design, is in my neck of the woods - San Francisco.

~ beach grass + moss ~
As I mentioned last week in my ~ swamp thing ~ post on luna and chloe (my other blog), I love the moss that hangs from the trees in Florida. And with being at the beach yesterday and seeing the grass...I knew the combo would be very cool! So you could imagine my surprise when I found this picture yesterday with the jar on the left filled with both (granted it's not the tree hanging moss, but it is very similar)...
What a great combination the two make! And I love that it pulls in green as opposed to blue, which is always used with beach weddings. Simple, sophistication is what I would call this combo...especially when used as centerpieces. The moss in the jar on the right would be perfect for a woodland, rustic wedding when combined with some other elements...twigs, mushrooms, etc... And the jars can be found just about anywhere...Target is where I got mine. And after the wedding the jars are great to have on hand! I have filled mine with everything from sangria, cookies, utensils, soap...really anything!
