Fall Wedding Favors: Honey

October 5, 2011

There is nothing more appropriate for a fall wedding than a honey wedding favor – don’t you think? With so many different ways to package honey (jars, bottles, tiny bears) and ways to decorate those jars (burlap and twine, scraps of vintage fabric,

ribbon, wrapping paper), honey isn’t just

the sweetest favor around, it can also be the cutest!

DIY: simple mirror vase centerpiece

September 28, 2011

1 comment

Today we’ll show you how to make a mirrored vase that you can use on your reception tables to make a big impact. This is a very easy project: just five square mirror tiles, a hot glue gun, and a little bit of patience while you wait for the glue

to dry!

Instructions: Take the square mirror tiles and gently scrape off any stickers. Clean with windex or something similar. Turn the bottom tile upside down and holding another tile at 90 degrees, carefully hot glue along the edge and press the tiles together. Move onto the next side and glue the bottom and side edges. You might have to hold the tiles together for a couple of minutes so the glue can start to dry.

When the fifth tile

is in place, allow to dry for a couple of hours before using it. Remember that it will not be water tight so you will want to place a small plant pot or glass inside for fresh flower arrangements.

And voila! A stylish and elegant vase ready for use!

With

everyone still so focused on

vintage, we thought we’d bring you a different and modern look for your wedding flowers – mirrored vases. Mirrors add a glamorous touch to wedding decor. They reflect light from votives making the vases appear to sp

arkle and adding a warmth to the floral centerpiece. Mirrored vases look best with tightly packed, pave or modern styled flowers and work with any color scheme.

Real WA Wedding: Pink & Yellow

September 23, 2011

This wedding is from dream team collaborators – designer Steven Moore and photographer Michele M. Waite of Bellingham, WA and was featured on viagra online canadaey-ryan-part-2″ target=”_blank”>The Bride’s Cafe. The bride and groom, Ashley and Ryan are simply adorable and we love all the design elements from Steven. The choice of pink and yellow for a color scheme is a sweet one, but by using a more unusual floral palette, Steven made the flowers sophisticated and modern.

The bouquet is comprised of celosia, hydrangea, hypericum, billy balls and peonies and wrapped with grass. Simple boutonnieres of billy balls are fun and playful.
