Sultry elegance and loads of style

The Bridal Bar San Diego

For all of you who are looking forward to an outdoor wedding or planning some other alfresco occasion, look no further than Raj Tents.

Calling them "tents" is truly an understatement. They feature the most amazing colors you have ever seen and allow you to create an outdoor space that will take your breath away. The tents come in a vast array of colors, sizes and styles and only your imagination will limit the creation of your luxurious outdoor space if you take advantage of their custom design options. Each tent is handcrafted in India and features exquisite touches like hand dyed fabrics, scalloped trim and shimmering tassles.

We were fortunate to feature them recently at our grand opening and they were "the" talk of the party.

We particularly love this gorgeous tent, the Cabo which absolutely takes your breath away.

Check out these cool Cake Pops

The Bridal Bar San Diego

Just Fabulous Pastries provided these decadent cake pops for our Grand Opening and we are officially in love!!! They were red velvet with cream cheese frosting and wrapped in chocolate. Yum, yum, yum. Every attendee was scrambling to taste them and still raving about them the following week.

"As we all know, cupcakes are showing no sign of letting up in popularity. And for very good reason. Portable, just enough dessert, as fancy as you want or as simple. Dressed up for an elegant wedding cake option, dressed down for a birthday party at the beach. Minis make an adorable addition to a sweets table. However they come, cupcakes are definitely THE dessert of the moment," said Chef Beryl Ann Byrd of Just Fabulous.

These are just one of the many styles and flavors available so visit Beryl online to get a full preview of her work.
