Weekends are for.... Tastings

In an effort to blog more, I am starting a new weekend series of posts all about my Friday-Monday activities! (No I don't take off 4 days a week but when I have to work weddings on the real weekend, sometimes I take Friday or Monday off) well cover weddings were doing, bridal shows or tastings and some personal activities! So let's get started! 

Well, this weekend actually DID start a bit early. I live about 10 miles from Atlantic City and this weekend they hosted 2 free concerts on the beach! I personally hate country music but I do enjoy the beach, it was a reason to party and Mr. Viola loves country, so we went! It was so crowded but we really had a great time! 

On Friday, I stopped at our local fish market to get some fresh little necks for steams and some scallops to serve over risotto. Mr. Viola must have been super excited because he brought me home flowers! And look what we found! I had never seen this before! 

And to end the weekend we had one of our favorite events, the Stockton Seaview wedding tasting panel! Instead of doing individual tastings for their couples, Seaview does seasonal tastings where couples & their families get to taste all different hors devours, salads, entrees and cakes! AND they invite all their house vendors! Did you know we were the house stationery vendor to Seaview? Have been for a few years now! Check out our display! 

Not only do we get to set up a display but The Seaview asks us to do the table numbers and escort cards! It's always so hard to decide one style to show all the couples with different taste so I usually go with something that's on trend! This time is was watercolor & gold! Two personal favorites! 

After the tasting, we headed over to Brigantine to have a big family feast at my parents house! And that's how the weekend ended! All in all, it was a perfect mix of work & play! 

xoxo
be.
