Inspiration Board: White on White

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

We created this beautiful white-on-white inspiration board with the following elements in mind:  texture, warm lighting and keeping things friendly and inviting.  So often an all-white color palette can end up looking sterile and bland.  But, by ensuring that we included those 3 elements and adding color with the food and drink, the result is anything but boring!

More Non-Floral Centerpieces

Monday, April 27th, 2009

Here are some more non-floral centerpieces for the hosts that want a show-stopping centerpiece without flowers!  The button jars really lend a vintage-y detailed look – perfect for a casual affair like a baby shower or bridal shower.  The book centerpieces are more old-world and lend themselves more toward a semi-formal event such as a cocktail reception or networking event.

Favorite Favors: Party Beans

Friday, April 10th, 2009

As we always say, guest favors must have one of the following purposes: something they can eat or something they will use.  These adorable little packages from Party Beans are available in a bunch of different styles (my favorite are the glass jars) and filled with jelly bellys, M&Ms or mints!  Customize the packaging by using a pre-designed logo or by uploading your own photo/art.  And, the coolest part is you can even color coordinate your candy…you can choose up to 2 specific colors to go with your color scheme.  YUM! 

Not into candy?  They also do breath strips and toothpicks!

Candles Outside – Beware!

Sunday, April 5th, 2009

Ahhh, don’t you just love the scene below? So home-y and gorgeous, a warm glow of candlelight illuminating a beautiful table.  It’s absolutely stunning! One thing to keep in mind when re-creating this lovely look: the wind! Don’t underestimate the power of the wind to blow out your candles, no matter how large the jar or candleholder is!

Instead of lighting & re-lighting votives until your fingers are burnt, just go for the cheap battery-powered votives. You’ll get the same look but without the headache.

White Tent Alternatives

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

Not wild about the traditional white tent for your outdoor wedding or event? Check out these white tent alternatives: a clear tent, creating a false ceiling with fabric or lusing the tent “skeleton” with strings of lights. Each of these establishes a very unique look that will be sure to give your event your own personal stamp.
