Ruffles

Well, they are romantic, pretty, elegant, & chic.  No wonder ruffles are making a big splash on the wedding scene.  We can't complain.  Wait until you see some of the gorgeous ruffle finds below.  Have fun!


We are in love with this ruffle cake, perfect for a bridal shower or small wedding.

One more cake for you, mimicing a ruffly wedding dress.  So fun!

These ruffle-esque rosette flowers serve as beautiful chair backs.

Ruffles overflowing for both the bride and bridesmaids.

Happily Ever After & Just Married Lanterns

         
Simple, modern, beautiful.  These lanterns are the best!

Purplicious

We did a post a few weeks back on the striking color combination of purple and lime green.  Purple, in general, is everywhere!  Especially for weddings, it brings a welcome spirit and beauty.  We love it particularly when it is paired with lime green, orange, and even hot pink.  Below find some inspirations for a wedding or special event with this great color.

     
Love these purple pom pom accents for a shower or wedding.

Sparkle purple Converse can work for the bride or bridesmaids.

Wow!  Gorgeous purple bridesmaids with bouquets of roses and hydrangeas.

Ruffles are big, too, in weddings (that will be a blog post later this week!).  In the meantime, here is a gorgeous ruffle wedding cake in varying hues of purple.

We're sort of in love with lanterns around here!  Absolutely love the "punch" that the purple, pink, and orange make in this event.

Fresh lavender tied around a vase to be used as a candle holder is pretty & rustic.
              
LOVE these flowers in hues of purple and blue on top of lanterns.

We've featured these before, but we can't help but love these hydrangea cupcakes!

We are loving this purple tent, complete with chair cushions and table decor in complimenting purple hues.

Beach Chic

Beach weddings remain eternally stylish.  And we've come WAY beyond simple barefoot affairs on the sand.  Below are some of our favorite ways to add beach chic to your nuptials.

  
Check out this romantic nightime beach wedding.  Luminarias light the aisle for an intimate reception.

  
How about this for a gorgeous beach wedding?  The covered guest chairs are adorned with gorgeous fabric and flowers.  The aisle is strewn with orchids.  The trees provide privacy.  Simply amazing.

  
This tented beach reception is, in a word, stunning.  I know I would love the feel of sand-in-my toes as I sat and chatted with guests.

                 
Provide parasols for your guests to shield the sun.

                   
Replace the rocks with shells for a unique guest book alternative.


These coconut bath salt #favors are amazingly aromatic and perfect for the beach.

        
Coconut soy candles in a real coconut shell=perfection!

Favorite Pins This Week, Part I

We know you all love Pinterest.  We are going to periodically compile our "best of the best" of pins we collect every few weeks.  So here goes.  Below are some great wedding finds from the past week or so.

  
Love it....paint your ring finger in sparkles or an alternate color.
                           
Hot air balloon centerpiece.  So creative and unique.
         
We know mason jars are crazy popular for weddings.  Here, we like this one on a classic striped tablecloth dipped in glitter.

Beach wedding=GORGEOUS!
            
Cheesy no more......these gumball-shaped reception balloons make a classic statement in black and white.

Color Focus: Yellow & Orange

We can't stop hearing about yellow and orange as primary colors for a wedding theme.  Colors that were once only part of Fall weddings are now taking on a fresh look with nuptials.  Take a look......

   
These beautiful yellow flowers simply "pop" against the bright green dresses at this wedding.
             
These outdoor reception tables simply glow with the addition of drapey yellow fabric and hidden lanterns.


Yellow is simply stunning when paired with gray at this sweet bar.
           
Fresh lemonade makes a great favor.
            
 I always think of daisies when I think of a yellow theme; these Daisy Seed Favors make a perfect match for a yellow theme.
 
Love these Gerber Daisy Place Card holders for a reception.

Bridal Tea Time

Tea and bridal shower have gone hand in hand as a theme for quite some time now.  We like to think our favors put a little bit of a twist on the theme.

         
It's tea.....for your tub!  This relaxing blend of chamomile and lavender makes a perfect soak for brides and maids that need some pampering.

         
How cute is this?  A tea infuser in the shape of a dress.  Absolutely the perfect bridal tea shower favor!

         
Our Bridal "Tea Bag" favors have it all:  two tea bags, cinnamon sticks, and honey sticks, decorated sugar cubes.  The tags can even be personalized to fit the event.

          
These Teapot Guest Soaps have a floral scent and super cute packaging.
