Appetizer On A Stick




Good appetizers are key for wedding food. This appetizer is great for a wedding in any season, but would love to serve it at a summer wedding alfresco. There are a few things I'd like to pass on to my daughter's caterers...this is one! Looks sooo good in the photo, just wait till you taste it! This recipe DOES NOT disappoint!

I suppose I could give you directions on how to make this, but if you can't tell by looking at the picture you REALLY don't want to be doing your own cooking for your wedding anyway.

I will say this, it sure looks good! Do love those mozzarella balls, might consider making some of those at  home, it's not too hard. Enjoy!

Italian Wedding Gowns Go Romantic


In Italy wedding gowns go extreme...extreme couture, extreme romance and extreme color and cut.   Antonella Rossi's gowns are all that and more.  Sure, she makes the plain Jane white gowns too (well actually nothing Antonella's designs is 'plain') but her expertise is providing Italian brides (or anyone willing to travel to get one of her gowns) with a gown to 'WOW' everyone at their wedding. 

The dress above has a floral overlay with a pink underskirt.  Not exactly a typical dress by United States standards for sure!


The blue underskirt of the gown above certainly adds plenty of 'something blue' to your wedding day!  The blue underskirt and the blue on the bodice are sure to draw your guests eyes.  Antonella Rossi once again hits a home run.


Looking for a gown that's not white or even off white? This gown certainly does that.  Perfect for the older bride, for a second wedding, or even for a bridesmaid dress, this skin tone gown by Antonella
 Rossi perfectly combines color and cut in a style that is glamorous without sacrificing that Italian sense of style. 

Some say the French are the leaders in the fashion world, Rossi is well on her way to proving them wrong.  She designs for brides at all stages in their life, not just for a girl.  Head to Rossi's web site to see still more of her fashionable gowns for the bride as well as accessories.

Italy and wedding cookies are synonymous.  But these are not your usual Italian Wedding Cookies. No white sugar coated anise flavored balls of dough here. These sugar cookies are decorated with Florentine wafer papers and gold accents.  They are perfect for a sweet table at a wedding with an Italian Renaissance theme, or any wedding looking for an upscale look. 

Want to give your cookie favors a high class look? Add gold accents (also sold at fancyflours) to the Florentine wafer topped cookies.  The beautiful Florentine design was inspired by traditional Renaissance patterns.  The sheets that come with your order can be used to decorate almost anything.
