Color Palette: Blues & Reds

I am in love with this color palette right now! Aqua and grey-ish blues + poppy and tulip reds = fabulous color scheme for your wedding.

Bakery Bar Cake Inspiration

This morning I came across Bakery Bar's website and had to share some of their cake pictures. While not the most elaborate cakes in the universe, their cakes are simple, sweet & modern. Just reading their cake flavor combinations makes me want to whip up a batch of homemade buttercream frosting so I can eat it straight from the bowl (no cake necessary)!!

Bakery Bar is located in Oregon, so an Indiana bride most likely would not have their wedding cake made through them, but the pictures are something you could bring to a local caterer as ideas of what you like.

I love their cupcake displays - small cake on top for the classic "cutting of the cake", but individual cupcakes below. Eliminates the need to have a huge cake cut for all of your guests!

Fabulous Outdoor Decor Idea

Per usual, I was browsing some blogs this morning when I happened across this picture (taken by super-fab Amelia Lyon):

How perfect would it be to do a photoshoot in a field of colorful balloons??!

This is a great idea for any outdoor occasion - little kids' birthday parties, grown-up birthday parties, heck - ANY party!

Now Accepting PayPal & Credit Cards!

Attention!!!

Bustle Event Design now accepts PayPal & all major credit cards!



So often I'm stuck with just my credit card or debit card to make purchases, and if a store doesn't accept credit/debit cards, I'm often forced to skip the purchase. To make it easier for my clients to book services with me and provide a secure transaction environment, I have created a business account through PayPal.

Here's how the payment process will go:

1. You (the client) tell me you want to book Bustle Event Design for your event.
2. I (Bustle Event Design) will e-mail you an invoice for the deposit amount of the service you would like to book.
3. You pay the deposit with your credit/debit card or PayPal account.
   
4. I mark my calendar for your wedding/event!
   
5. I will send you another invoice for the remaining balance.
6. You pay the remaining balance before your wedding date.
   

Of course, you can still pay by cash or check, but I just had to let you know about this exciting, new, convenient online payment option!
