Color Me {Botanical Grace}

There is something so refreshing about surrounding yourself with natural elements. While vibrant colors and bold patterns have their place, botanical touches are certainly much nicer to me. They give off an ever lasting classic feel with the right balance of elegance and modern trend. The versatility can't be ignored either. Whether used in varying sizes as a neutral chic centerpiece or placed strategically around the room to create an outdoor feel, emerald colored botanicals are the perfect addition to your celebration's decor.

Have a great Monday!

Goin' to the Chapel

I have great news! I have just found out that one of my best friends is getting married in August. With such a short timeline, planning must begin immediately. The summer nuptials will take place in North Carolina, the perfect setting for a rustic southern soiree. The inspiration behind the big day is a casual, laid back event full of fun and laughs. With friends gathering from across the country to share in their special moment, this isn't only a wedding but a reunion of sorts. The outdoor affair will feature vintage touches, handmade details, and a bit of southern flair. Imagine a rustic barn, warm candle light, white blooms, and summer fun including corn hole, late night dancing, and bon fires complete with s'mores when the sun goes down. With a color scheme of greens and white, the natural, rustic feel will be naturally fun too. Can't wait to share more details of her big day as time approaches!

The Secret Garden

Happy First Day of Spring! The spirit of the season is already filling the air here with warm temperatures and pollen everywhere. But none of that matters because finally the flowers will begin to bloom and no longer will I be forced to stare at bare, lifeless trees (The one outside my front door is especially ugly during winter months.). With such beauty now returning outside my window, it is taking everything in me not to spend every minute soaking up the sun and I'm sure all of you feel the same. So in honor of our urge to spend more time enjoying the outdoors, let's throw a garden party with no hot tea or cucumber sandwiches required! While pastels and fresh cut blooms are a must, impress your guests with a table set under the trees. Serve up champagne and macaroons, fruity salads and fresh roasted vegetables. Keep everything light and airy, just like the season, to create the ultimate impact. Encourage floral frocks, sandals, and a good time at a wonderful garden soiree to open the party season!
