This being the week of Shamrock shakes and green beer, I am sharing my love for another variety of green — succulents. It’s sort of along the lines of seedling favors, and I think guests appreciate them in a similar fashion. Mary Swenson sent these pretty pics over along with some tips:

Mary purchased these little beauties for less than $3 a piece at a home improvement store! She kept their natural/rustic vibe by wrapping kraft paper around them and adding little name tags, using some unfussy twine. You can also remove the name tags and cluster them together for a sweet centerpiece, as seen above.

I had the best time playing around with creating looks from the new BHLDN collection for {this article}, but there was just so much more to share! BHLDN, the new bridal line by Anthropologie, is chock full of versatile accessories and the type of unique finds that you’d discover in a trendy boutique.  Without further ado… my favorite pairings of bridal goodness:

Ok, I’ll be honest, normally I don’t get totally jazzed about trinket type thingys… but when I saw these completely adorable salt and pepper shakers in our Favor Shop, they won me over.  I mean kissing fish? Come on… who doesn’t love a fish kiss every now and again? : ).  Hip Hooray for cute little trinkety-things! From now until Sunday take 5% off site wide.

The team at Bear Flag Farm did such an ammmazing job coordinating Heather and Tom’s late summer wedding.  The couple resides in Colorado, but they fell in love with the farm’s ‘field-to-table’ concept and decided to have a destination wedding in California wine country.  The unique red and blue color palette exuded charm and elegance, and the bounty of the farm provided exceptional décor and edible delights.  {Click here} to see the full feature!
