Favorite Board: Minty Fresh

Last week I wrote about the overview of the day, how we hope it will pan out. We now move on to filling in some of the details in more depth. As the wedding is still over 4 months away, some of the details are still in progress but I will start with the things which are pretty much sorted.

Merry Christmas everyone! Here’s an especially appropriate board for today.  We hope you’re enjoying some fun times with your friends and family!

Nine months ago I had never heard of Etsy. However, I soon discovered Etsy was an online wonderland of all things custom made and unique. You can easily fall in love with a million items wedding and non-wedding related.

Oh, hello Myra from Twigs & Honey!  Why, what a beautiful flower you’re wearing… what?  It’s for me??

This post is a little more free form than I usually type, but I’m in that kind of mood. I’m soaking in the photo in the top left paired with this stationery and centerpiece idea. It perfectly captures summer…

Happy Fourth of July! I hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend.

A few vintage details….

Weddings are extremely personal and special, not only to you but to your loved ones as well.  What better way to honor your family and friends than by incorporating photographs and memorabilia?

I wish I had something poetic to write about, but I just don’t.  So here’s something that inspired me today instead.

There are too many to list!!!  But I did my best to narrow down the choices to my top 4 (in no particular order!).

As 2020 draws to a close and we usher in a new year with its new hopes and goals, there’s guaranteed to be quite a bit of celebrating around the world. And while our celebrations are sure to look different than they usually do, whether it’s a cozy night at home watching the virtual stream of the Times Square ball drop, or counting down over a zoom party with friends, there’s still nothing that marks a celebration more than with a good toast! Champagne or sparkling wine usually take centerstage during these moments, both in weddings and on New Year’s Eve, and there’s really no reason not to break out or break in some new glasses to start making memories now! So whether you’re toasting to a new name or a new year, here are some of our favorite glasses to help ring in the occasion!

This weekend marks the official kickoff of summer and wedding season is in full swing. These summer wedding ideas will have you planning an unforgettable celebration in no time.

It’s Valentine’s Day, and as we all know, Valentine’s is meant to be enjoyed with the one(s) you love, so what better way to celebrate than with a fabulous Galentine’s Day brunch! Emily Elizabeth Events created this adorable “Girl Gang Gathering”, where she and several of her closest friends came together to sip, eat, chat, make Valentine’s Day cards, and create floral arrangements, and this is one party we wish we could attend! Pink and gold stationery from Paper Delights invited each lady to the gathering, where they were greeted with balloons festooning the entrance to Seattle’s Ollie Quinn and the most gorgeous tabletop with florals by Emily Elizabeth Events and dusty pink linens from La Tavola. We’re loving chic and modern details like acrylic standing mirrors, cut-out name place cards, and pink lip cookies, and the romance and elegance of the compote centerpieces, textured fabrics, and vintage trays displaying sips and bites. Galentine’s has never looked so fabulous and we are head over heels for every moment, captured beautifully on film by Blue Rose Photography!

Have you heard the news? Greenery is Pantone’s color of the year for 2017! Incredibly elegant and sophisticated, greenery transforms bouquets, drapery, tablescapes, and even chandeliers into woodland works of floral art.
