Which table shape do you like the most? Round or rectangle? 
I love the rectangular look.

Outdoor Wedding Decor - Farm Tables

I have a thing for farm-tables but I have an even bigger thing for farm-table wedding decor!

I don't know if it's because we had them at my all girls boarding school or if its my obsession with the lavish feasts on 'Game of Thrones' and 'Vikings'. Either way, I'm obsessed. 

Take a look...

Wedding Flower Budget

If there's one item on your wedding budget your fiance probably cannot understand or belittles, it's your flower budget. He probably doesn't understand why you have to pay so much for something that will "just die".

Well, sadly, a lot of people, other than a fellow bride-to-be, and your wedding vendors will understand the importance of having flowers at your wedding. That's okay, you're not crazy.

If your favorite flower is too expensive, consider just using your favorite flower in your bouquet, and on your table only. Choose a more affordable and complementary flower for the rest of the decor and bridesmaids. A good florist will be happy to come up with alternative options.

I could stare at flowers and pictures of flowers all day. I LOVE flowers [insert girliest shriek here].

Check out these gorgeous free flowing and loosely structured bouquets. Aren't they lovely?

Wedding Details - Fruit

It's always exciting to see how wedding stylists/planners/designers style centerpieces and place settings. They come up with the neatest and coolest ideas. 

Every year brings something new to the industry...something trendy or completely unique. Remember when mason jars were the IT item!? Every other wedding had a mason jar, clear glass or painted up. Loved that trend! However, trends die and we look for the next great creative idea.

One design element that I will never tire of, is fruit. Fruit creatively used throughout the wedding is timeless to me. 

Check out some of these fruity ideas:

Hi!

When you're a mother and a small business owner it gets kinda busy around my place. With that said, it's plain to see I've done a horrendous job of blogging. I can't understand why though, when I love writing and sharing the good stuff so much!

It's 2015, Happy New Year and all that good stuff :) Should I even promise to write daily? No, I won't do that. I will promise to TRY and post daily, how about that :)? 

2015 started off well, then it went a bit south as I was battling some personal life challenges. But, I am back now! Happier, healthier, and sure of what I want in my life and for the future. I moved studios in January...yep! It's a bigger space and it's full of natural light. I'm going to do some incredible work there this Spring and Summer. I just know it. 

Take a look at the new space and tell me you don't love it!
