Spring Wedding

Spring inspires a wedding. The blooms makes the most pessimistic believe in love and matrimony. As I have walked through my own streets, I am inspired to share the ideas for a spring moment.
The Ceremony. An garden arch painted pink but on the arch, we hang flower petals on white beads for the front of the ceremony. Flower petals are glued to small green wreaths on the aisle. Then there a flower petal decorated aisle runner. A mistletoe in pink florals hang near the front of the ceremony.
The guests receive a fabric but floral fan at the door with the program.
The Bride. A floral wedding dress in tea length is bold but a beautiful statement with simple pink shoes. The headpiece of a green glass flower in hair gives a subtle but still elegant statement. A green bouquet with three pink tulips in the center is quite lovely for this wedding.
The Reception. We enter into a space for 50. The tables are covered in flower petals with three tulips in green glass bud vase. Each guests receive a tulip with name tag on plate. There are oversize pots of greenery throughout the room. A dance,a meal, a live music selection, a dj, and cake cutting...then there is dancing.
The Cake. The cake is two tiers in pink with greenery as a topper in a birdcage with candy Easter eggs around.
The Favor. The favor are egg shape candies.A sweet ending for the day.

Love is a gift,celebrate it...

The Bull

On the calendar...The Bull with bread and pasta for a middle of week date.
Tune to The Bull on the radio, Atlanta.

Pink

Pink is the color of spring. This is not my favorite color, but  it is my top ten. So from the flowers to dress, consider this color for the moment.
The Ceremony. We are going to do paper spring flowers inside a container of greenery. Two large pots of this design. Then we use  flower confetti in pink instead of flowers petals.  Pink pew bows with paper flowers in the center. Nature music is played outside.
The Bride. The bride wears a pink gown with a pink veil. Then floral shoes gives it a touch of the season. We use a bouquet of pink paper flowers in various shades. A real bouquet of roses is presented at the end of the day.  A sweet pony tail. Tiny crystal and diamond earrings. Then we walk down the aisle to Human Nature by Micheal Jackson.
The Wedding Reception. Oversize pots of greenery with pink paper flowers throughout the room. The cocktail of fruits and vegetables placed on rounds of grass. Jazz tunes. Then we move on to dinner with a centerpiece, a grass or miss covered container with paper flowers. Then consider a tea bar with a pink signature cocktail. Edible flowers are incorporated within each course.  The music goes from retro to old school hip hop.
The Cake. A sweet spring ending. A round table cloth in pink. The oversize cupcake in pink with the paper flower as a topper.

Happy Planning

Creative Invites for Wedding Party

Normally, a phone call does it.
Then we scream with excitement.
We are off to plan our wedding, knowing our close family and friends will be there. Yes, it can be that simple or you may give them a moment.
Singing Card. What's their favorite song? A personalized singing card says thank you in advance. A card, a colorful pen, and a stamp, then we are off to ask the big question to those who close to you.
Sweet Tooth Gift. Bribery, sometimes gets you everywhere. Maybe some food will help. A cupcake, chocolate at a great shop is the way to go. A small gift with the question on a small personalized card.
Fun T Shirt. What is your friend or family member's personality? A personal expression t shirt is light hearted to say yes.
Three ways to get a  I Do for you. I would keep it  light hearted and fun. Then email a list what you need from them. Personal touches set the right tone for your day.
