Fall

Fall is the time for caramel, so why not add it in your wedding? Give guests small mason jars with caramel corn in them! Decorate the jar with twine and a ribbon for a more polished look.

Winter

Everybody loves a mug of hot chocolate to warm themselves up during the winter. Why not send your guests home with personalized or custom mugs! Something they can use throughout the season.

Unique Guest Books

Post Cards

We had the honor of designing a lovely garden themed April wedding on a stunning private estate. Our tablescapes turned out beautiful but it was a personal touch the bride added that really stole the show. She provided  handmade books on each table that guests seated at that table would sign. Each table number then represented the year that the bride and groom would read their guestbooks- a little surprise every year! We loved the unique idea so much it inspired us to look into other creative DIY guestbook ideas to share!
Provide postcards for your guests to pick out and sign, or write tid bits of advice. Then have a relative or friend mail them to you throughout the year!

Poloroids are always a fun way to capture the night-of moments and scrapbook guests' advice and notes. 

Art Work

Picture

Guests can leave their finger print along with their names written above or below it! Don't forget to have baby wipes near by for guests to wipe the ink off of their fingers!

Decor

Picture

Your "guestbook" can also be something you make into art! Move home to home with your piece of memorabilia decor. Painted monogram letters of your [new] last name or beautiful antique china to hang provide beautiful and quirky home decor with a special meaning. 

Games

Picture
Picture
Have guests sign a puzzle, or your favorite game like Scrabble or Jenga!

Wine night

Picture
Last but not least and certainly one of our favorites, wine bottles! Such a cute idea to provide numbered wine bottles for guests to sign, and then open with your loved one every anniversary!

"Pretty in Pink" Robin & Lisa

7/11/2014

Pink couldn't have been a more appropriate choice for these two bright and bold ladies who put their love, bling and personality throughout their beautiful May wedding. Light and dark pinks beaming with passion and energy, feminine feels, and spunky, romantic, and intimate charm set the scene for this dazzling day. Lisa carried a gorgeous bouquet we filled with peonies, calla lilies, sweet peas, ranunculus, lisanthus and more seasonal flowers in bold shades of pink. Her bridesmaids had matching bright and bold bouquets in various shades of pink, and the best women's boutonnieres were wrapped in the perfect shiny bling.  Robin's pink boutonniere matched her on-point shoe style & rock-star socks & we just loved Lisa's blinged out tennis shoes to match - talk about personality! 
These ladies rocked it!

& a spunky yet sophisticated"pretty in pink" charm.

Couture Week in Paris is bringing out the best of the new fashions for Haute Couture Fall / Winter 2014-2015 and we couldn't be more excited! However, all our "oos" and "aahs" are focused for now on the Dior line and their fabulous runway room walls of white orchids. Absolutely stunning!

Dior will just always have our hearts with their  passion for floral fashion 
as their Spring 2014 Show was jaw dropping just the same...

Raf Simons truly stepped up the springtime fashion flair with his choice of decor for the 2014 Christian Dior Spring line Fashion Show. Displaying a hanging garden of striking lianas, wisteria and beautiful bold orchids in eye-catching shades, guests were invited into the jungle of Dior. The pallets are always striking, suave, funky, and with tons of floral inspired prints. 
We just can't get enough ...

Bringing together two cultures can be difficult when planning your wedding. What better way than to have TWO wedding ceremonies! That's exactly what beautiful bride Erin and her handsome husband Devinder did for their beautiful Baltimore ceremonies. 
Dazzling beading of elaborate traditional attire, incredible detailed henna designs, & immense amounts of rich sparkling jewelry; A regal white horse carrying the groom who truly resembled a prince himself, among  a colorful bustling crowd of family and friends, ready to marry his bride; adorned with jewels in bold reds and golds; sets the scene for this truly jaw-dropping Sikh ceremony.

The Legg Mason building in Baltimore, MD's inner harbor was the breathtaking venue chosen for the reception. For the traditional ceremony, we had the pleasure of creating beautiful arrangements of  hydrangeas, roses, stock, and lisanthus in soft pinks, purples, and white, surrounded on tablescapes of glowing romantic floating candles. The flames flickering off the water mimicked the amazing sunset views from the venue overlooking the harbor. We  REALLY loved the personal touches Erin and Devinder incorporated to truly make their day unique, including Erin's beautiful memorabilia charm addition to her bouquet of her lovely mother, and Devinder's crabby groomsman cake that really rocked the Baltimore spirit. 
Just of few of the vendors: 
Florals and design provided by  Nature of Design with Janet Flowers 
Cakes: Sugarbakers
Linens by Patty Boyle's Table Toppers 
& a huge thanks to David M Photo for sharing his amazing shots with us! We'll let his photos do the rest...
