Hanging Flowers

I fell in love with this image from The Knot – it’s the perfect solution to the “I want large floral centerpieces, but don’t want to block my guests view”  problem!  Not to mention it looks so new and fresh!  I think you could take this concept and scale it down a little bit for an [...]

Real Party: A Baby Shower for Zoe

This beautiful baby shower was sent to me by photographer, Wendy Updegraff.  Thrown for her sister, no detail was left undone!

The color palette for the party was inspired by the Tiny Prints invitation.  A tent covered the beautiful table setting, and was decorated with paper lanters and a special “baby Mama” banner.  They made [...]

Spring Placecard Idea

I’m loving this placecard idea from weddingchannel.com for Spring!  They inserted gerber daisies into a pot of grass, but you could easily take the same concept and simplify it for your next table setting.  Try placing a gerber daisy into a small bud vase at each person’s place….and then pin a circle tag in the center [...]
