The Conscious Cupcake is an amazing company founded by South Florida Optometrist, Liz Schwartz. Liz found it difficult to find healthy, vegan cakes and cupcakes made with no animal products for her three kids' birthday parties.  She wanted treats made with no butter, no milk, and no eggs, yet no sacrifice on the taste. 

Yes!! Delicious cupcakes can be made without butter, milk and eggs!

The Tipping Point

Some of the most popular questions we get asked are regarding tipping vendors. Let's be clear.  Unless gratuity is included in your contract, you are not obligated to tip anyone. Catering and Transportation vendors almost always include tipping in their contracts. Saying thank you with a monetary tip is not always expected but is always appreciated by vendors. In addition, you can't ignore the fact that some vendors just exceed all expectations and will blow you away.

If you have a Wedding Planner, one or their responsibilities will be to pass out previously prepared individual envelopes, including a thank you note, to each vendor.  If you do not have a planner, the responsibility will then lie with the Best Man, a Father of the Bride etc.  Remember, gratuities are a kind and generous gesture of appreciation to thank the people who go the extra mile to make your wedding day perfect, but it is ultimately the decision of the couple to decide who they will tip and why.

Reasons... (Earth, Wind & Fire Voices)

Wedding planners are not just for celebrity brides! Every bride should have the opportunity to have an organized and well-planned wedding.  Life is too short, and a wedding is way to special to leave to chance! 
That's where we come in.

Here are 10 reasons why every bride should have a wedding planner:

#1~ I want a stress-free day!

#2~ My partner and I both work full-time.

#3~ I don't want to spend time researching vendors.

#4~ I want a voice to represent me with my best interest in mind!

#5~ I need inspiration to pull together my theme.

#6~ I am planning a destination wedding.

#7~ I need help sticking to my budget!

#8~ Everyone has an opinion, but I need someone with a clear view.

#9~ I don't want to worry about covering all, or forgetting about, all the details.

#10~ I want a stylist, a diplomat, a director, a weather girl, an agent, an accountant, an educator and a friend to guide me along the way!
