fun dessert options

There are many creative options available other than a wedding cake as a dessert option! As a couple, brainstorm your favorite desserts (especially if its NOT cake!), think about your favorite restaurants and what desserts they offer, or even think back to your favorite candy as children! If you need ideas, or have more suggestions, feel free to share them with us at One Fine Day! 
This Texas Longhorns inspired grooms cake is amazing! It is the perfect idea for the groom to showcase his favorite college team, or where he himself attended school! How neat would it be to have a Wildcats groom cake?? Thanks to theknot.com for this inspiration! 

How fun is this retro themed, alternative cake?  The cupcakes are different flavors which are perfect for guests with different taste buds, and the bride and groom with the vintage car really show off the couples personality! Thanks to Style Me Pretty blog for this idea! 

For those who love coffee and sweets, but not necessarily cake, these milkshakes are a great option! It offers guests different flavors and a milkshake is a more creative option for an alternative dessert, aside from cupcakes or candy! Photo credit from theknot.com.

Stumped on a meaningful gift for your bridesmaids, but yet one that won't break your bank?  We came across this idea on etsy, and it is the perfect combination of meaningful and inexpensive! Take a simple pair of earrings (whether you bought or made them) and simply "hang" them on a decorative piece of cardstock that you have either written or typed up a quote, thank you, or short note on. The earrings along with a personal written touch are the perfect combination to show your bridesmaids how much they mean to you! Also, you could even use their favorite color as the theme, or maybe write meaningul song lyrics the two of your share instead of a quote! Share your gift ideas with us at One Fine Day. 

{bloody mary bar!}

We love the idea of bloody mary bars at weddings and post-wedding brunches! They're so fun and guests will love making their own bloody marys, or you can always have a bloody mary bar tender! This is definitely an idea you don't see everywhere and could be so special to a wonderful couple that love bloody marys! 

Here are a few ideas and options for what to include in your bloody mary bar:

-your favorite bloody mary mix

-your favorite vodka (try a flavored vodka to add a twist!), some people even make bloody marys with tequilla or gin

-your favorite hot sauce 

-Worcestershire sauce

-salt & pepper/celery salt/cayenne pepper

-prepared horseradish

-for garnishes (and a little more flavor) try: celery, pepperoni sticks, lemons/limes, pickle spears, shrimp, peppers, jalapenos, cucumbers

-don't forget the olives! you can even try blue cheese stuffed olives or garlic stuffed olives

We love how foodgal.com featured a bloody mary bar with a wide selection hot sauces -                    how fun (and cute too!)

Love the labels in the photo below!
