Centerpiece of the Week - Green and White Wedding Flowers and Limes
December 1, 2009 –
While getting my daily dose of facebook I stumbled across a centerpiece that one of my friends made. Now this is no ordinary friend. This is the fabulous Audrey Crandell who owns Glowing Bridal. Brides, if you are looking for a spectacular makeup artist who is a pleasure to be around give Audrey a call…you will not be disappointed.
She created this table arrangement for her mom’s birthday party. It is truly beautiful. The use of limes is one of my favorite elements. Audrey was wondering about the acidity in the limes causing problems. I asked the Karen with Huckleberry Karen Designs and she said that the acidity and sugar actually helps the flowers just makes the water dirty after a day or so.
I also love the use of the baby blue patterned china. A great touch.
Audrey you rock!!
Burlap Wedding - DIY Table Runners
November 24, 2009 –
I love the look of burlap. You can see my ode to burlap post here. I came across instructions for a DIY burlap table runner. Burlap is such an inexpensive fabric and looks great if you are doing a casual wedding but also can look very modern and chic. Below you will find instructions on how to DIY burlap wedding table runners. This post is from a great wedding resource: Style Me Pretty.

One bolt of 54-inch wide burlap (you can use less, but 21 runners took the full bolt)

1. Cut fabric in lengths of 14 feet, two inches.
2. Cut in half lengthwise so that each strip is 27 inches wide
3. Turn the ends and sides under one inch and hem
