project wedding: teacup flower favors

 

I made these little teacup flower arrangements for Project Wedding. They could be used for a shower, a luncheon or any girly sort of party. Full article and instructions here.

project wedding: a farm-inspired table

   

As you know, I am always a sucker for farm-inspired anything! I had a lot of fun with this table for Project Wedding. I was able to use some of my new finds from this amazing second-hand shop in Stockholm. Hope you enjoy!

outdoor dining

  

I've had these photos filed away for some time. I want to go set up a table in a field or on a beach and eat amazing food with friends!

gingham place mats

How adorable is this book of gingham place mats? I just about died when I spotted them in a shop today. Perfect for a lobster feast, me thinks. By Plenty Design.

sunday suppers

 

I love Sunday Suppers SO much. Their casual, effortless tablescapes and recipes are right up my alley. Months later, I am still obsessed with these butters and biscuits.

magic wedding

  

Cheri of Scout Holiday pulled off the most magical, homemade wedding party I've ever seen. I love the confetti, flags, paper cranes, streamers, and heart shaped balloons. I love how imperfect, yet perfect it all is!

project wedding: linen + lace

I've been really excited about all the gorgeous Queen Anne's Lace growing along the roadsides lately. I decided to pair them with linen and a handmade ceramic vase from Ink & Peat for this Project Wedding story.

cupcake invitations

Even though I am not really on the cupcake bandwagon, I couldn't resist these delightful invitations from the always amazing Betsy Dunlap. As much as I hate to admit it, a cupcake party does sound very fun + very pretty! Photo is better, bigger.

P.S. I feel like a grouch admitting that I don't really like cupcakes. I think they are pretty and taste yummy. I am just a little weary of the very long trend. 

once wed: diy peony centerpiece

I am excited to tell you that I've started up my flower column at Once Wed again. This time, the stories will be photographed by Lisa Warninger (I can't tell you how happy that makes me!) July's article is a super easy peony centerpiece. You could also make this with garden roses or dahlias. And, like always, this is meant to be for your own home and party inspiration, not just weddings! Enjoy!

P.S. A huge thank you to the Ace Hotel for letting us shoot this at their awesome event space, The Cleaners.

alison events

I love these images from Alison Events of a wedding they produced in Costa Rica. All those pillows look so tempting. I'd love to set something like that up for a small party.
