These letterpress escort cards/place cards come in different types. These come from the “conversation” collection.
In French…
I am in love with these mini olive oil and vinegar bottles every since I saw them at C & B’s wedding in September. From Wedding Favors to Love.
Picture I took at C & B’s Wedding.
I love these olive oil bottles from O & Co. courtesy of Sur La Table. Expensive at $10 each but so beautiful.
Not your Average Utensils
November 12, 2007 –
I love using splashes of color and unexpected elements and textures. I especially love using fun utensils to add a certain something to a wedding (or any party for that matter). While this idea will not work for some weddings I love it for a fun outdoor wedding or a backyard get together. Here are some of my favorites.
I love anything bamboo. From Green Feet.
From Charles and Marie.
It would be fun to use these Sporks for an ice cream bar. Also from Green Feet.
I love Snap a Party. Also from ThisNext.
These “stainless steel” utensils are really heavy duty plastic.
From ThisNext.
Why not store them on tables or buffet in this caddy. Caddy from the Macbeth Collection.
DIY Wine Themed Centerpiece
November 9, 2007 –
Okay here it is. I love using “different” materials as I believe it adds interest to a tablescape. I had seem a similar bottle table number and replicated it. This Centerpiece cost me just under $20.00. Assuming there are more than one the cost would go down as you would be able to buy materials in bulk. Price included everything you see including votives and votive holders, vases and containers and even the bottle of red wine I got for a steal at Safeway. The floral portion of the centerpiece was done at Huckleberry Karen Designs DIY Floral Workshop! If you borrow please give us credit. Thank you!
Centerpiece of the Week
November 8, 2007 –
I know what you are thinking….Centerpiece of the Week is usually posted on Friday. Well there is good reason for the change. I finally designed and photographed my DIY wine themed tablescape. And I loved it! So tomorrow you will all get to see it.
Yes, the Centerpiece of the Week is again Aisle Decor but would make a great centerpiece. My super talented friend Karen from Huckleberry Karen Designs did this decor for a wedding held in Tiburon, CA.

These Hot Chocolate Tins would make such great favors. They also have different flavors such as Apple Cider. Check them all out here.
I love these wine bags. Great for spicing up your wine favors. These sayings also come on coasters. From Greener Grass Design.
These are Personalized Biscotti from my Bridal Shower. They were a big hit. From Precious Memories in San Bruno.
I love these invites from Telliegrams. Yes this box is the invite!
The invitation is printed on the inside of the box.
These are a few examples of designs they have.
