Wine, women & shoes event, by BLU Event Design

Few weeks ago we posted an inspiration board for the Wine, women & shoes event! ...and ta da... Various shades roses, tulips, green goddess callas lilies with touches of dusty miller, berzilia and green amaranthus spilling out of polka dot magenta hat boxes complete with black satin bows.



Our flirty creations felt right at home at the penthouse suite of stunning Emerald Grand! Bright and colorful blooms complimented the old world glamor of mahogany bookcases and beams.. Sheer lime green overlays, fuchsia silk napkins and a tiny stiletto at each place setting added to the sophisticated glam look for a worthy cause!

Stunning WaterSound Wedding, by BLU Event Design

You know when you look at a picture and you can feel the mood. A blanket of white sand, a breathtaking sunset that bounces off a crystal chandelier nestled in between sweet ivy, and white orchids. Lining the way to the arbor, a collage of vine spheres adorned with white roses and ivory ribbon.











Meet Kristen & Chris. Chris, your All-American blond hair blue eyed groom, lapel dressed with a mini calla lily and Kristen, a real princess adorned with pearls and lace, holding a sweeping bundle of white lilies accented with tiny pearls, to create the true meaning of soft elegance. This wedding folks, was about pure romance.

Sweet Valentine, by BLU Event Design

Happy Valentine's Day to all of you love birds!!!

And nothing says Valentine's Day like chocolate-covered strawberries! Those red, heart-shaped fruits, that melted chocolate, together in one sweet, scrumptious bite. They're undeniable!!


You will need:

Approximately one pound of washed fresh strawberries, stems intact, dried thoroughly.
11-12 ounces of a good quality dark or milk chocolate. Chocolate chips can be used, Ghirardelli is a recommended brand. Try to avoid cheaper melting chocolate.
A double boiler, or a glass or stainless steel bowl over simmering water, or a microwave safe dish.
Wax paper and a baking tray



How to:

Line the baking tray with waxed paper, prepare strawberries.
If the chocolate is in bar form, chop into small uniform pieces.
If using the double boiler method, make sure the bowl is completely dry, and the bowl isn’t actually touching the simmering water. Stir the chocolate pieces until you have achieved a smooth and shiny texture with no chunks.
If using a microwave to melt the chocolate, set the microwave on 50% power for 30 second intervals, stirring after every interval. Continue microwaving until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
Generally, your chocolate will be sufficiently “tempered” when the bottom of the bowl it’s in no longer feels warm.
Immediately dip the strawberries, one at a time, in the melted chocolate and transfer to the wax paper lined sheet.
Serve as soon as the chocolate has set up a bit. (If you can resist!)
