These pretty floral creations are not only perfect for place cards, but also for escort cards, favors, or table numbers! We were inspired to create them as floral favors for a girly bridal shower featuring pastel hues and sweet spring blossoms. Make them your own by designing them in your own colors and style!

You will need:

Popsicle sticks or plant markers

Acrylic Paint

White paint pen ( it’s important to use a paint pen, the normal kind won’t work)

Foam paint brush

Flowers

Containers

Step One. Paint the popsicle sticks in a combination of colors that look good together (or match to the flowers).

Step Two. Wait for them to dry (should take only about 5 or 10 minutes)

Step Three. Using the paint pen, write names or table numbers on them.

Step Four. Gather little floral bouquets with each wooden nametag and tie with string before placing in vases.

These are so inexpensive. It was about $5 total for lots of popsicle sticks and a tube of paint, which went really far. They add such a fresh and pretty flair to a wedding event.

I’ve been waiting for weeks to share Marko and Merryl’s incredible beach-inspired wedding in Half Moon Bay!  Now that it’s finally time… I’m overjoyed and thoroughly excited.  This is one to bookmark/pin/and glean loads of inspiration from.  The couple married on a bluff overlooking the ocean.  A palette of fuchsia, navy and grey popped against an overcast summer day.  Oh… and did I mention the florals by Flowers Claire Marie?  Just wait and see…Here’s a peek at their gorgeous album by Tanja Lippert Photography. Merryl was the picture of bridal sophistication in her exquisite Amsale gown.  The men looked classy in khakis, striped ties, and navy blue blazers.  Vibrant fuchsia bouquets contrasted the maids’ charcoal grey Dessy dresses.  Their style?  Impeccable.  

But wait… that’s not even the half of it… see more from Marko and Merryl’s day right {here} and read their story just below.

All our best this stylish and altogether beautiful pair!

What is it about the ballet, that is just so romantic, alluring and inspiring?  A group of wedding professionals in Virginia took the concept and ran with it to produce a poetic evening photoshoot at Mount Ida Farm.  Feminity and grace were juxtaposed against the rustic-luxe venue.  Billowing florals cascaded across the tabletops, exquisite calligraphy danced across the paper goods, and the shoot even featured dancer/models from the Richmond Ballet!  Enjoy reveling in these photos by Aaron Watson Photography.

Stacked honeycombs will bring a burst of bright, festive energy to your wedding day. They are perfect for centering a table, hanging in bunches or just casually placing around the room. With a quick order of DIY honeycomb paper, it’ll be easy to personalize for your specific color and sizing needs.To design this stacked honeycomb centerpiece:

Step One. Purchase DIY honeycomb paper in your colors. Here is a good {source} for an assortment of the colored paper.

Step Two. Using a bowl or other circular object, cut out shapes. For the stacked centerpiece, use different sized circles and ovals.

Step Three. Use glue or double sided tape to secure the ends of the honeycomb paper together on each side.

Step Four. Begining on one side, fan out your honeycomb working with it to pull into shape.

Step Five. Stack the honeycombs on the center of a circular table for a bright centerpiece, hang from above (if your venue allows), or stack them around the room on shelves, tables and in windowsills for festive accent pieces.

The charming, vintage romance style and beautiful pink hues from Kristin and Jordan’s Southern California wedding are an utter delight!   The couple dreamed of a timeless, cozy evening wedding with twinkling lights and tons of sweetness.  I’m so happy to share their album, photographed by Sherri J. Photography. I love the classic romance of the wedding party wardrobe!  Kristin looked lovely in a gown by Casablanca, as did the bridesmaids, in the perfect shade of petal pink.  Both the ceremony and reception were held at The Victorian, a charming, old-fashioned mansion tucked away on a street corner  in Santa Monica. 

Sooo happy for this pair!  Best wishes, Kristin + Jordan!
