Call it an Xmas present to myself! How was everyone’s holiday? I need a holiday from the holidays, yay for NYE!

Candy bars have been the wedding reception craze for a while now. I definitely don’t see it stopping, but I do see hope for us savory-loving people! The concept remains the same – setting up a favor table with various spices for your guests to scoop into bags or mini jars. Or you can pre-assemble the spice favors yourself and place at your guests dinner setting. Why not attach a little recipe to the container using the spices provided?! Some even suggest providing spices that compliment your hors d’oeuvres or specialty cocktails. The ideas are endless! The colors and smells will lure them in and you can even come up with your own spice or rub mixture, check out this diy project! Season with love!

OMG! I have to share Courtney’s (of Flush Designs) guest post on Once Wed with you!!! I can’t describe how incredibly creative this table setting and decor is for winter. It’s always hard to find unique winter decor ideas for weddings and non-weddings (that’s not cheesy). This one is right up my alley – Kitschy Winter Table.
