Color Me {Wheat Fields}

Now that Halloween has past, I officially consider it to be the holiday season. Thanksgiving will be here in a few short weeks and Christmas is right around the corner. It really is hard to believe but it's even harder to contain my excitement. As we move closer and closer to Thanksgiving, the more and more planning appropriate decor becomes an everyday item on my to-do list. While I love incorporating small pumpkins and gourds into the table scape, this year I plan on using more wheat elements for a natural touch. The color is neutral and basic allowing the texture to really take center stage, something that a lot of table scapes lack. So, whether you use it in it's given form or simply use it for color inspiration, wheat is a great addition to any Thanksgiving table.

In Full Bloom

A lot of times, my inspiration for parties and posts doesn't come from a theme, place, or holiday but from something simple, a beautiful floral arrangement. Especially in the spring, the fresh blooms are coming up in a variety of colors and textures. Take for example peonies. Their light pink color is gorgeous and their petals have a soft ruffle feel. Translate that into a ruffle trimmed napkin or table linen in a soft shade of pink. The possibilities are endless, especially when you find a gorgeous bouquet and take notes from the variety of colors, shapes, and textures. Have a local florist recreate it for you to complete your look.

I have compiled today a few of the most inspiring bouquets I've seen lately. Hopefully they bring a smile to your face and inspire you as well. Have a great Wednesday!

Color Me {Feathered}

Thanksgiving is coming up in a few days and I've got turkey on the brain. With thoughts of the savory roasted main dish running through my mind, I'm looking to it for inspiration today. While the colors of fall are a given, the textures and accents are not. Feather touches will perfectly accent your table this Thursday. Whether you use gold dusted ones or a more natural looking chocolate brown, the feathered accents are the perfect touch to any of your fall decorating.

Have a great Monday!
