Paperwhites, Ironstone, Cafe Au Lait Bowls, and Pebbles....

Hello!

Paperwhites are one of the easiest bulbs to grow in the home....

If I can do it anyone can....

If you want to be able to enjoy these during the Christmas season, now is

the time to start planting these...

The kids and I planted some this weekend.

So I thought I would share a few pictures with you....

What you will need....

A few dishes....

I chose a variety of ironstone dishes from my collection.....

The last time I planted these (which was a few years ago)

I got a little crazy and filled every dish imaginable...

I tried to keep myself under control this time....

You will need to fill your dish half way full of pebbles.

I bought a bag of really cheap river pebbles at Lowe's.

Paperwhite bulbs contain all they need to grow, so you don't actually need soil....

However you can still plant them in soil if you wish....

I like to use pebbles.

Set your bulbs on top of the bed of pebbles with the roots facing down....

You can cram the bulbs together....

No need for spacing...

Add water...

Fill your dish with water just to the base of the bulb....

You don't want the bulb to be fully immersed into the water....

They will rot...

Set in a warm room....

In about five to six weeks you should see blooms...

If you want you can plant one bowl a week for the next couple of weeks so that you 

have a continuous supply of blooms during the holidays....

Be sure and check your water levels....

I am sorry I only have pictures of the bulbs....

Hopefully I can get some actual pictures of blooms during the holidays...

You can read more about paperwhites here....

On another note....

I wanted to share a couple of blogs with you that I think you will enjoy....

{Steal Worthy Weddings} : Glamorous Garden Affair

Today, I would like to start a new section on this blog called “Steal Worthy Weddings”. Twice a week I would present a magnificent wedding, then I’ll share with you all the gorgeous details that to me are worth to steal. Let’s begin with this glamorous, romantic South Hampton’s affair that is about as swoony as you can get.

And the detail’s worth-to-steal are…

Ribbons on Chairs: Ribbons are having a big wedding moment. This may just be the cutest way to incorporate them into your wedding. (Visit my Ribbon Galore post for more ideas)

The Color Palette: Nothing says romantic elegance than gold and pale pink combined.

The Cake: I'm going bananas over this DREAMY cake...super elegant, yet so unique.

The Ceremony Layout: Semi-circle sitting on wedding ceremonies are really trendy right now. Remember Monaco's royal wedding ceremony? I personally like it, because looks very pretty and it allows you to save a few bucks on flowers and decor.

The Comprehensive Look:

The Shoes: Hot, hot, hot! Nude tones and ruffles are one of the hottest trends out there! So combine both on a pair of wedding shoes and you get perfection. If you're still looking for the perfect pair for your special day, don't forget to visit my Nude Wedding Shoes post to get more inspiration.

Parasols: This is a must-have for an outdoors wedding, specially during summer or spring... functional and oh-so-pretty!

The Centerpieces: If you are going for a classic look, you may like to consider something like this stunning centerpieces.

Something Blue - The Earrings: Looking for a way to incorporate something blue into your outfit? Try blue earrings. They look so chic, don't you think? For more something blue ideas you should stop by my 25 Ways to Something Blue post.

Gold: If you're thinking of including gold into your color palette check out the multiple ways this couple used to incorporate gold into each table: chairs, silverware, cups, chargers, vases and menu.

Adding a Darker Color: If your wedding colors are classic soft shades, you may want to consider adding some details on a darker color. Choose one of your main colors in a brighter tone. This would add a splash of modern feeling to your wedding day. In this case, the bride chose to add details of magenta like the cocktail-hour decor, the bridesmaid dresses, one candle on each table and the ribbons on the chairs.

The Bouquet: I showcased this BEAUTIFUL bouquet on my Peony Bouquets post a few days ago, and it was a total success. Check it out and you'll see the reason why!

Salad Trio: Serving 3 small portions of salads, appetizers or desserts are one of the hottest trends in catering for weddings.

Pink Lemonade: For those weddings that have pale pink as a main color, serving pink lemonade for the cocktail-hour or pre-ceremony refreshment is a must. I love how they created two different shades of pink lemonade for this occasion.
