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.

These instructions are verbatim from Style Me Pretty.

Materials

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

Directions

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

4. Stitch with a zig zag stitch (my mom used the largest zig zag, about a quarter of an inch) on her machine and chose satin thread)

5. Iron flat

Centerpiece of the Week - Yellow and White Wedding Flowers

November 12, 2009 –

Yellow and White as a color combination has always been one of my favorites…clean, crisp and makes you want to smile.  As my girl Karen would say, always display vases in odd numbers…3’s, 5’s etc.  Well Huckleberry Karen Designs created this wedding centerpiece and it is beautiful.  Photo by Elle Jae Weddings.  P.S.  Both are my new office mates…yay!!

Cool Things Wednesdays 74 - Unique Wedding Ideas & Decor

November 4, 2009 –

Well this CTW is all about burlap.  I love mixing rustic, earthy elements with chic, simple and sophisticated elements.  Burlap is a great way to add texture to your wedding decor.  Plus it is a fairly inexpensive fabric.  I love these wine bottle bags.  Would be such a cute favor.

 

This burlap banner would look great at a wedding.

 

I also love the use of burlap as part of your wedding table decor.  This table runner can be customized for both size and letter personalization.  A simple and inexpensive way to spruce up standard linens without having to pay the upgraded linen costs.

Centerpiece of the Week - Artichoke Wedding Decor

October 29, 2009 –

I love the use of artichokes in wedding decor.  They make a unique and visually interesting focal point.  And I love how simple and elegant it looks.  I can only assume that it is cost effective too.
