FROM OUR SPONSOR: BRIDES, BRUNCH & BUBBLY, A PERFECT COMBINATION

Fine Wine & Good Spirits

Prince William and Kate Middleton followed their royal wedding, a tradition-heavy morning ceremony, with a festive brunch. Were they onto something?

We tend to think of the meals that accompany weddings as evening affairs. But for brides who love brunch, a delicious and leisurely late-morning or early afternoon meal can also be a delightful part of the wedding celebration, either as the reception immediately following a daytime wedding, as an extra treat the morning after the wedding or even as a venue for a bridal shower. Some wine-loving wedding planners may hesitate before planning an important brunch – is it appropriate to serve wine early in the day? Does wine go with the eggy, cheesy, pastry-centric dishes included on classic brunch menus? Can we still get all our toasting in? Happily, the answers are yes, yes and yes. It’s easy to pair delicious and festive wines with every part of a brunch, get your Champagne on and still enjoy responsibly. Visit your local PA Wine & Spirits Store or browse FineWineAndGoodSpirits.com to learn how.

THE FIRST YEAR: NEWLYWED COOKING CLASSES

Posted by Carrie Denny on 6/28/2010 at 11:02AM | 2 Comments

If we were to guess, we’d probably have to assume that you and your groom have eaten more than a few meals too many on the go these last months — either grabbing a quick meal out or picking up something to go or ordering delivery while in the midst of wedding-planning mayhem. And you wouldn’t be alone.

Our advice is to turn over a new leaf — beginning with taking a cooking class together. Philly’s got a lot of great options for how to spend some really fun time together — and to learn to cook some really amazing food. Check out some of our top picks right here.

Now, not only can you play for hours on end with virtual diamonds at your desk when you’re supposed to be working, you can dream and mix and match ‘til your heart’s content on the train, waiting for the bus, or anywhere else you normally fire up your iPhone.

I often get questions from brides-to-be on where there’s a good place for them to get spray tanned before they don that extremely white dress — especially around this time of year, when we’re just emerging from winter, and our skin hasn’t seen the light of day in oh, say, seven months or so.
