    Edmonton Wedding Photographers/ Flirt Cupcakes for Flirty Brides

    January 25, 2010

    When my mom used to yell the word ‘cupcakes’, I would run… no, sprint the other way. Cupcakes…eww!

    I was never able to understand why people would eat cupcakes.
    The cupcakes that I knew were made of bran, flax, whole wheat….possibly molasses??
    My mom was a health guru. I am certain that she may have even figured out a way to
    blend wheat grass into our ‘cupcakes’.
    One of the first weddings I ever shot, the couple decided to substitute a wedding cake for cupcakes…
    It was incredibly adorable and each little cupcake look delishious to the eyes… but I wasn’t fooled.
    I knew better.

    I watched as the guests went and put a cupcake on their plate…. oh, should I warn them, they are all so innocent!
    and then, the most obscure thing happened… many people went of for seconds and thirds.
    I couldn’t help but stare and watch them. I was curious… why would they eat those things??
    I had to try, I had to see what they loved about them. Did they love the bran? The Flax?

    I hestitantly took a bite.
    Oh Sweet Mother Of Cupcakes.

    I have never tasted something so moist, so sweet, so…perfect.
    I thought to myself ..’Had my tastebuds decieved me all these years??’
    No.
    My mother did.
    She made me believe her cupcakes is what every mother made for their child. ha!

    I had to find out who made these perfect little cakes in a cup.
    Flirt Cupcakes.

    I feel like I have never lived my life fully all those years, without knowing of what real cupcakes were.

    So many brides now are substituting the traditional cake for cupcakes, and I think that is such a cute, fab, trendy idea.
    I took a little stop at Flirt Cupcakes the other day…. ordered 4…
    Yes, Matt and I devoured every little crumb. Possibly licking the box…
    and maybe licking the ‘cupcake paper lining’… ( i am not saying i did and i am not saying I didnt!)

    I just wanted to give a shout out to Flirt Cupcakes. It is the most cute and quaint place you ever did see!
    I am a huge fan and now, so is Matt.
    I love that they treat my brides top notch, and I highly, highly recommend them to brides, friends, family.

    They are a real treat!! (Well, Matt thinks I am funny…i think.)

    Mucho Love,
    Kari

    Edmonton Oasis Conference Center| Jewel of the West End

    January 20, 2010

    When we work with a company/facility/florist/DJ/caterer/videographer/etc  that is phenomenal, we love to pass

    the good word on to our fabulous brides. Planning a wedding can be daunting. daunting. tears can & will be shed.

    I hope that these ‘reviews’ will give you a little glimmer of light to follow as you forge ahead with creating the wedding

    of your dreams.

    I remember when my sister Krystal was planning her wedding…she had always had her little heart set on a classy & popular

    Edmonton reception location. We made an appointment & met with the gentlemen in charge of weddings. He could not have been

    ruder. I’m serious. We were seriously surprised to be treated this way. Our questions were answered with a condescending attitude

    & sarcasm. We were made to feel like a huge inconvenience. Needless to say, we booked her spectacular reception….elsewhere.

    As such, it is highly unlikely that I would ever recommend that reception location to my brides, for fear that they would be

    treated in the same terrible manner.

    HOWEVER, there are so many wonderful places in Edmonton to hold a classy wedding reception and we loved the Edmonton Oasis

    Conference center. This beauty features a stunning marble foyer & gathering area with vaulted ceilings. Not to mention the

    1300 gallon super tall indoor fish aquarium. Awesome right?  First impressions are everything  and this place brings it.

    The Oasis’s (tounge twister) ballroom is spectacular…it even has a balcony (which is just lovely for us photographers)! When

    it is time to play the slideshow for guests, dual 12′ projections screens come out of the wall to the delight & enjoyment of all. Everyone

    can easily see your show! (and at the end, the zip back into their hiding spot)

    There is a lovely courtyard in the back for greeting your guests &  a few quick photos.

    Must importantly, when you meet with Leigh Ann (780.451.9227), you will fall in love with her warmth,

    her sincerity and you will know that this gal call pull off the wedding of your dreams.

    Just snopping around Etsy and found these little treasures! I thought they were beyond darling. See them HERE

    These faux cupcakes are perfect favors for any elegant occasions and special events, like weddings, baptismal, 18th birthday, anniversaries, etc. Your guests will be delighted with these wonderful giveaways.The faux cupcake sits in a silver foil cup which wrapped with an elegantly printed paper. The fake frosting is vanilla scented, decorated with tiny sparkling faux gems and is topped with your choice of photo holder: a wire loop or an alligator clip. So, these faux cupcakes are not just eye candy, but also serve a purpose of holding notes and photos, and also to decorate your home and office space. A ribbon adds a finishing touch to each of these lovely fake treats.I can personalize these faux cupcakes for you by adding monograms or event details.Each faux cupcake is individually packaged in a clear box
