The Sweetest Occasion

For our wedding last July, my mother, best friend, sister and I tackled all of the bouquets and centerpieces on our own. It saved a tremendous amount of money (a couple thousand dollars actually) and it was pretty simple to do. Since then I’ve really been longing to take a floral design class or workshop [...]

I always love it when I find something new and have the opportunity to share it with you so today I’m really excited to introduce you to New Hampshire Woods Creations, an Etsy shop that has totally change my view on dried flowers. I admit that I used to think of them as dowdy and [...]

Nothing says spring quite like tulips and while spring is still a long way off for those of us who call Upstate NY home, all of the tulips popping up around the blogworld have me feeling like spring is at least a little closer than I had once feared. The bright happy colors and pretty, [...]

I was revisiting some of my favorite blog pasts of months past (safely tucked away in my Google Reader starred items) when I stumbled upon this wedding at The Foundry in Long Island City that Kathryn posted on Snippet & Ink back in October of 2008. I was immediately struck by the gorgeous flowers at [...]

I’m feeling rather inspired by pretty romantic flowers today, so spreading the flower love seemed like a nice way to ease into the weekend. From gorgeous bouquets to elegant floral chair swags and wreaths, flowers are speaking to me right now. I hate to admit it, but I’m longing for spring already, which might explain [...]

By now you’re probably catching on that I’m a huge fan of stylist and blogger Chelsea Fuss of {frolic!} – I love her eye for color and detail and her designs and ideas are always completely approachable. At any rate, the winter days are starting to feel a bit gray here in Upstate NY so I [...]

I love this classically pretty table with all of the sophisticated blue and white elements. For any of my longtime readers, you might recall my utter obsession with white flowers. (It never even crossed my mind to have anything but white flowers for our wedding, in the end a mix of roses, hydrangea and baby’s [...]

One of the prettiest blogs I’ve ever had the great fortune of reading, hands down, is A Field Journal. (Go take a visit and you’ll see why instantly.) Today as I sit all bundled up fending off the arctic chill that has settled across Central New York, I just had to share these glittery handmade [...]

Confession time – I spent most of the holiday weekend wretchedly sick and I’m unfortunately still recovering so things are likely to be quiet around here this week. With that said, I wanted to share these pretty teal table setting and centerpiece ideas from Project Wedding. I have long loved white flowers best of all [...]

I always find flowers inspiring. Not so much the overly formal bedazzled kind, but always the soft, pretty, slightly wild type like these pretty winter flowers from Studio Choo on Little White Book. Nothing perks up a room or my mood more than pretty flowers so I love this little purple and white bouquet, perfect [...]
