A $10,00 Martini & A Wedding Proposal

Talk about a proposal....and one enormous bar tab!  At the Algonquin Hotel in Manhattan, their signature drink,  Martini-On-The-Rock , was once prepared for a marriage proposal.  The cost for the Martini - $10,000!  The drink requires ordering 72 hours in advance because you have to first chose the diamond and ring settings you'd like to rest at the bottom of your martini glass. 

Or - perhaps someone will purchase a $25,000 Sundae to propose!  This golden sundae is a blend of 28 cocoas, including 14 of the most expensive in the world. 

   
But wait – it’s also infused with 5 grams of edible 23-karat gold and served in a glass goblet lined with a layer of edible gold. 

At the base of the goblet is an 18-karat gold bracelet with 1 carat of white diamonds. The sundae is also topped with whipped cream covered with more gold and a side of La Madeline au Truffle from Knipschildt Chocolatier, which sells for $2,600 a pound.

It is eaten with a gold spoon decorated with white and chocolate-colored diamonds, which can also be taken home. 

   

Talk about having your sundae, eating it and getting another bonus of diamonds!  That would be a good day.

The trend of diamonds in food is getting quite popular though.  You can also purchase a $1.6 million dollar Fruitcake which is diamond encrusted.

All these might just be out of your price range for your wedding menu...but you can still use the trend in your wedding! 

The Diamond Themed Wedding

Diamond themed weddings capture the gem's elements of everlasting love!

Plus it also gives you the ability to stick to a monochromatic color scheme of pure whites to ivories.

String small white lights throughout the venue (decorate them around doorways, over tables and on archways).  Stock up on them during the after-Christmas sales to save yourself some money or light up the room with arranging white and ivory pillar candles throughout the area.

For centerpieces, if you are going with traditional blooms make sure you get them in whites and ivories.

Decorate your cake with a Swarovski Crystal Monogram Cake Topper!  This topper will add some great glitter to your cake.  You can also keep it long after your wedding day.  Actually, you can find tons of items that are swarovski-studded (such as pins and picks to add to your flower arrangements).

Of course, for favors - you can find many diamond-ring related items (such as diamond ring keychains)

Now, if all white isn't really your thing but the diamond idea is grabbing you.  No worries.  Add in touches of gold and silver to add some more pizzazz! 

For a venue, of course, any typical  place would work but a great idea would be at a baseball diamond.  (This would work great also if your future husband is a baseball fan).  Get married at center plate....lots of fun to be had with this idea.
