Texture is such a nice addition to any decor. I love these banana mache votives. They come in natural, red/orange, and blue.

Dots are so fun. This ribbon is definitely fun.

The perfect wear for your pooch ring bearer.

You could easily DIY this favor by making your own labels, packaging and personalized sayings.

Centerpiece of the Week

I know....not another non-centerpiece as Centerpiece of the Week. But a smaller version of these would look cool hanging from a candelabra centerpiece.

I think these head wraps are so beautiful and elegant.

From the Jennifer Behr 2007 collection.

Cootie Catchers evoke playfulness and would make great wedding favors.

Butterfly inspired candles holders from Wrapables.

Centerpiece of the Week

For those of you who don't know I had an amazing florist do my wedding flowers. I love Wiggy Flowers.

I think these Dr. Seuss inspired centerpieces are so interesting and fun.

These recycled wooden tags would look great on a wedding favor. Just write on them with a permanent marker.

Who does not love Dupioni Silk. Hang these on the chairs at your ceremony for a petal toss.

These best man cufflinks are classy and of substantial quality. I bought the Father of the Bride version for my dad!

People say the best favors are the one that are edible. These Escort Card chocolate bars come in a ton of different colors.

Centerpiece of the Week

I love the winter themed wedding. Why do I love branches so much??

I know a lot of brides who wanted to achieve the below look but were quoted prices that were in the $300 range and above. I found a way to DIY this. Check out these metal trees! Drape with crystals, flowers or just candles. After using them at the wedding they can be resold as storing them may be a pain.

Black, 2.5' tall, $62.99 and free shipping. Comes in 3.5' tall also.

White, 2.5' tall, $62.99 and free shipping. Comes in 3.5' tall also.

Metal Flower Ball Tree, 2 feet tall, $69.99. Comes in 3' tall also.

These votive holders from Pottery Barn are fun.

30 Days and Counting....

I can't believe we (Karen and I) will be putting on our first wedding event. We have been planning this for over 6 months and I know that it will be fabulous!! I can't wait to showcase my ideas and can't wait to see Karen's floral designs. Admission is free so come stop by and say hi to us and the stellar vendors who will be showcased.

I don't know what type of tree branches these are but it is stunning and wild.
