Ice Cream Themed Events

I had a crazy, busy, fun, exciting weekend! Lipstik was in full force and busy none stop this weekend. I was at two bridal showers this weekend....One I worked and the other was my best friends. Both where beautiful and suited the bride to a T!

I stumbled across these pictures and thought they'd be amazing for a baby shower or a child's birthday.

I love the use of donuts in this picture. I'd eat a donut every day is my waistline would allow it!

How adorable are these ice cream cone cupcakes.

Up, Up & Away!

Well, it's finally here, the week of the wedding! I cannot believe it's here and to be honest, it hasn't hit me yet. Michael thinks it will hit him at our rehearsal on Wednesday, we'll see.

In keeping with the party, event, happy theme of my week I thought I'd do a post on balloons today. I've recently become very infatuated with balloons and think you should too.

The balloons along with the streamers are just fabulous if you ask me! VIA Geronimo Balloons

 How lovely would this be at a New Years Eve party? I am totally doing this!

How great would this be for a bridal shower?

Lastly, my personal favourite because the party was for moi... The balloons from my bachelorette party.

So, what do you think? Will you be adding balloons to your next event?

Chocolate & Fruit

I am a big fruit lover and chocolate's not too bad either. What do you think of these dessert ideas - something you'd try?

VIA Little Cakes

This seems like the perfect dessert or snack ever. I'd suggest making sure the raspberries are very dry before putting the chips in.

How about this one. Angel food cake (my favourite), strawberries and chocolate skewers. Can you see yourself serving this at your next event?

Things That Make Me Smile

Today is my 26th birthday so I've decided to write about some of my favourite things and why I'm who I am.

I love....
Good, true, funny and honest friends
A great glass of Pinto Grigio
Anything sparkly
Everything pretty
Pizza
Everything to do with fashion
Parties, parties and more parties
Hosting parties.. I love hosting!
Christmas
Champagne: I didn't like this before I got engaged but then everyone forced me to drink it and I fell in love
Family
Mason Jars: My love for mason jars is a little freaky, but I just can't get enough of them!
Red lipstick
A fresh manicure: My obsession with this has become rather expensive!

Hope you enjoy these pictures from pinterest of some of my favourite things.

Enjoy the Party,

Nicole :)

Recipe Friday.... Ice Cream!

Anyone else a sucker for ice cream and desert? I'm not so much a cake and pastry girl as I am an ice cream girl. I lied, I love angel food cake!

Isn't this ice cream holder and presentaiton to die for. Perfect for any type of party - kids birthday, girls night, a Friday night!

I hope you all have a great weekend! I am having a very wedding weekend which should be fun! A little less then 2.5 months until the big day!

Enjoy the Party,

Lipstik Events in Action!

Back in August Lipstik Events hosted a very large Celebration of Life Party for a very close friend of my family. The homeowner/host hired a videographer to capture the day and all its memorable moments. Here's the video, I hope you like it!

Margaritaville Party!

This past Saturday Lipstik helped host a 60th birthday and the theme was Margaritaville! There was a margarita station, Jimmy Buffet Music, bright clothes and lots of fabulous food! Check out pictures from the party below.

The host hired a street meat vendor to cook dinner right out front of their home!

Don't you love the blue granite?!

Margarita Station / Bar

They live right on the water which made for a fabulous view!

A look into what we have planned, so far, for the summer!

Hello friends!

I thought I'd share some of the event details we're planning this spring/summer. From big backyard parties to quaint 50th birthday dinners, we're helping out everywhere.

This Saturday we're hosting a 50th birthday party. Lipstik will take care of the bartending, serving the appetizers, serving the plated dinner and clean up from start to finish. I'll be sure to post pictures of the event on Monday.

Some of the other events we're working on are a 50th birthday party at the end of the month, a 60th backyard Margarita-Villa birthday party and a second annual backyard bash in June.  Stay tuned for more information as all the events start coming together.

I thought I'd post a video of my favourite song right now from Adele. If you were listening closely to the music on Thursday's episode of Grey's Anatomy you would have heard this song at the end of the episode. Listening to Adele always puts me in a great mood so I hope it will do the same for you!

Enjoy the Party,

Nicole :)
