Vision Board Inspiration: From Paris With Love

Greetings All!

I hope you all had a beautiful weekend!  I for one enjoyed the sun and inspiration of springtime in California and love in the air.  It seemed like everywhere I turned there were birds, people, and even dogs roaming around in twos, sooo romantic!

So I chose to do a post about one of the most, if not THE most romantic place in the world Paris!  And to give you Californians some ideas on how to bring a little bit of Perri (in my French voice), to your next wedding or occasion.

So without further ado, I present to you:

 From Paris, With Love.....

Color Combination of the Week

Happy Friday All!

Today's post will be about a hot new color combination for spring weddings and events, I call it "Seashore Sunshine".

I love this combination because the turquoise and gray add a cool and serene feel, but the white and 

 yellow add a bright and sunny experiance to balance the palate.

Baby Shower Theme: Candy Land

Greetings and Happy Hump Day All!

Ahhhh, babies! The most precious gift on earth; and the anticipation of bringing one into the earth deserves a celebration, enter baby showers! 

So I thought I would share a great baby shower theme idea for any mothers-to-be, Candy Land!

For those of you who are unfamiliar with Candy Land, it is a famous children's' board game that requires players to travel through a land filled with candy and candy coated villains, to make it to the finish line to find the lost king of Candy Land.

Invitations are a great way to get your guests excited about your upcoming baby shower!

Reception Themes That You'll Love

Greetings Everyone and Happy Tuesday!

Lets get the day started off right by talking about the one thing that we all can agree is the reason why most people come to weddings, the reception!  And if you are one of the many people who has changed there reception theme multiple times looking for an experience that is all your own, this post is for you!

I have combed the internet and multiple wedding and event magazines to come up with 5 reception ideas that are truly one of a kind.  Over the next couple of weeks I will be introducing some fun and creative themes that will hopefully give you a little inspiration with your own reception adventure.  Now lets get started!

The first theme that I came up with is called "The Campers Retreat"

Candles of different sizes wrapped in twine on a tree stump give a wonderful rustic/woodsy feel to your centerpieces.

Finally, no reception would be complete without a beautiful wedding cake.  To stay within the theme I recommend either a rustic themed cake like the one shown on the left created by www.poppygail.com.

Or for a more colorful effect, have your bakery create a wooden and greenery feel like the cake shown on the right.

DIY Edible Party Favor Ideas

Greetings Again Everyone!!!!

Today's post will be about some edible party favor ideas that are easy and creative that your guests will love.

I will be giving you some examples of  a couple of different ideas that range from holiday favors to wedding favors; all which can be used at your next event to wow your guests.

The first one I'll start with is colorful s'mores! :)

These are a fun way to add a touch of color to your Easter party.  And to make them a to-go option, just wait for the chocolate to cool and harden, and wrap them in colorful candy boxes, that can be purchased at your local craft store (Michaels, Joanne's, etc.) with a ribbon at the top, as seen below.

 The next unique idea is a rather popular dessert with a modern twist.  Cheesecake in a jar!

This cute idea gives you the great taste of a cheesecake without the hassle of cleanup.  The jars can also be found at your local party supply store, and the recipe for this delicious dessert is here.  

Do you have a spring gathering approaching, but you're not sure what delicious treat to serve?

Inexpensive to buy and fun to make, these delicious delicacies are a fun way to incorporate the feeling of your county fair in your own backyard.   The recipe can be found here.

Finally, a really quick DIY party favor idea that your guests will love is flavored popcorn in jars. (noticing a theme here, I looove jars! They are so vintage/chic!).  

Picture from modelweddings.com

These little jars are great for throwing together a last minute party favor.  The jars can be purchased at your nearest party store, and the popcorn can either be purchased at the local grocery store, or if you want to add a personal touch, can be homemade.  There are so many flavors to choose from; chocolate drizzle popcorn, candied popcorn, chili lime popcorn, maple bacon popcorn, the possibilities are endless!  I have included a link that will get you started.  You may even want to mix two flavors in one jar to give your guests a suprise when eating.  

Do you have some unique party favors that you have used in the past that you would like to share?  Please comment below. :)
