Dress of the Week

Jasmine 2011 Spring Bridal Collection

Real Wedding: Pasadena, California

Judith and Enoth actually met in grade school and the two were finally married this summer in a gorgeous Pasadena event. The day began with the bride getting ready at her dress designer's gallery (hence the gorgeous images of Judith surrounded by bridal dresses) and continued to a beautiful ceremony at Westminster Presbyterian Church. The couple opted to invest most of their attention into the ceremony itself, and therefore had a short and sweet reception following their vows. I am absolutely enamored with Judith's dress, and her peony bouquet is lovely!

Fall Wedding Inspiration

It finally looks like fall outside. My porch was full of leaves this morning. 

There's no better way to start a perfect fall week than with a perfect fall wedding inspiration. 

These cozy images full of pine cones, autumn colors and apple pie were styled by Jessica Solane of Love Bird Style and captured by Souder Photography.

Artistic Wedding Cakes: Maggie Austin

These Maggie Austin cakes are truly some of the most artistic I've ever seen...they are so completely lovely! Some of them look more like sculptures than cakes, and those ruffles look like they are paper thin. So creative and beautiful.

The French Farm Table...

Ok... I am finally getting my post up about my french farm table.

I actually took these pictures about a month ago....

So you will have to excuse the fall decorating in these pictures...

sorry : )

This little table gets moved all over the house....

It now has a spot in our living room....

I don't know if you can see what is under my plates....

About a month ago, I received these beautiful vintage music sheets from a friend.

Thank you Rozmeen for sending me so many wonderful things...  I loved everything....

Pastels and Whites

I only have a few items in my house that are this distressed.

I love decorating with food...especially pears. 

The red fabric that is draped over the pillow on the bistro chair will soon be made into a pillow.

I have a friend in Canada to thank for sending me that piece of fabric. 

Thank you Theresa!

I think this little table helps  add a lot of character to the room....

Thanksgiving Ideas Marathon- Part 2

Keeping up with our Thanksgiving Marathon Ideas, I present to you this super cute DIY favors/gifts.

They are very easy to make and they look so good! All the tags can be printed from your own computer (click on the links and download for free) and you can get the rest of the supplies from the grocery store. Instructions and list of supplies at the bottom!

For the packaging is:

1. small kraft boxes or cellophane bags

2. pretty orange ribbon (add more color with apple green)

3. one of following printables: drink/food flags (skinny designs used as “closures” on the bigger boxes), favor tags (used on the cellphane bags & small boxes), or paper patterns (used for the layered circle design on one of the small boxes).

For the edible filler: Make a quick sweet party mix that coordinates with the colors on the printables. Use what you have at home or made it from store-bought elements: Sweet & Salty Chex Mix, white-chocolate pretzels, and Reese’s Pieces.
