We’re taking the day off at Soirée to celebrate the holiday with our families and friends. We hope you all are doing the same and please remember to take a moment to remember all of those who served our country past and those present.

It’s the weekend and it’s a holiday weekend. The Memorial Day holiday officially kicks off the summer and what better way to start – it’s all about the fashion. Today at The Bon Bon, I want to share a few of my favorite summer finds at J.Crew.
A cute summer dress is a must have! I adore the stripes that are in this season and I love the fact that J.Crew brought back a few maxi dresses for the summer.




A summer wardrobe isn’t complete without a few pair of cute shorts and the “Walkway” shorts at J.Crew are a serious must have for the wardrobe!



And don’t forget the accessories and my favorites are these cute and sassy J.Crew hats. Yes, of course you will have to have more than one. They are just too cute to resist!



Have a wonderful holiday weekend everyone!
It’s Wedding Wednesday at The Bon Bon and today, we’re focusing on your out-of-town guests. Here at Soirée, we love putting together guest bags and beautiful boxes filled with lots of goodies for our couple’s out-of-town guests. What better way to welcome them in to town and truly set the scene for what’s about to come.
Some of the items that we love to use are personalized bottles of water, signature cookies, visitor’s booklets, pecans, and golf balls, just to name a few. The key thing to remember, is to make it personal and to make it fun. Once your guests get back home, you want to ensure that they never forget the wonderful weekend they spent celebrating your big day!
Here are a few beautiful “goodie” bags and boxes we put together for our client’s wedding guests!



A key factor to consider when having the guest bags monogrammed, instead of using the bride and groom’s names and wedding date, consider the longevity of the bag. Will your college roommate want to carry around a bag with your initials on it? Instead, consider using the logo of the reception venue; something subtle enough to encourage your guests to reuse the bag.
