Easter Egg Decorating Party

As easter is right around the corner, I had to put together a board for an egg decorating party. This Easter activity isn't limited to just the 12 and under crowd anymore thanks to Martha Stewart. She has given us a ton of sophisticated dying techniques to try out this year.

Invite your gueats with a handmade Easter card. Decorate your home with Easter egg tree. You could decorate eggs ahead to place on the branches or leave it empty and ask your guests to donate one of their creations to the tree. Bring the Easter pastels into your own menu with cupcakes iced with pastel frosting and banana-berry smoothies.

Just have fun with it.....bring out the kid thats still inside of all of us!

Spring Inspiration

This inspiration board was inspired by the girl sitting by the window. I love the flowers in her hair, the open window, and I can totally picture her as a carefree relaxed bride. The wedding would feature a garden fresh menu, tons of sweets, flower girls in marabou skirts, and bunches of fresh tulips will decorate the tables.

Create your own Wedding Ceremony Backdrop

So while browsing some of my favorite wedding blogs I came across the most amazing DIY wedding ceremony backdrop.  Thank you to Green Wedding Shoes for featuring this wedding shot by Stephanie Fay.

Modern statement with the right light!

These hanging glass globes with the candles look so chic and modern!

Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution

Is the U.S. ready for a food revolution? Depending on who you ask, answers to that question could range from "Yes!" to "A-what?" Well, there seems to be plenty of revolutionizing to go around, and Jamie Oliver is jumping in with a big network TV reality show set in "America's unhealthiest city."

Hors D’oeuvres & Appetizers

Finger foods at your cocktail hour provide easy and mouthwatering goodies for your guests. And based from my work and personal experience, guests usually remember what the food tasted like and how much fun they had at your wedding (yes, of course they will remember how beautiful you looked!). So use your food choices and style as a way to win your guests hearts! And it’s a way for them to try something new! Chat with your catering company about ideas and be sure to ask about their ethnic specialities are – don’t forget to taste!

Think Color

I love weddings that feature unique colors. While every bride has her own personality and favorite colors to incorporate, one gets tired of seeing the same colors over and over again. Black and red seems to be a popular color palette. While there is not anything wrong with the black and red combo, I certainly advocate making your wedding unique.

Clever Wedding Decor!
