* Purple Passion

Everywhere I went during bridal market in NY I kept hearing, “The trend is purple!” Purple bridesmaid dresses, purple flowers, purple sashes and purple cupcakes! I am in love with this orchid bouquet by The French Bouquet, as well as this array of purple arrangements, which could be DIY’d!

From Cori, the master floral designer behind this gorgeous wedding decor…

Beth’s Wedding was all about the details!  Details, Details, Details!  Her bridal bouquet was adorned with a piece of vintage lace from her mother’s wedding gown.  Her mother also hand-sewed a sixpence into the lace! She wanted her colors to “pop,” which we achieved by using limes, candles, willow branches, and plenty of shades of bright orange. The creativity of the vendors made a space that was traditional in nature chic and contemporary with the help of gorgeous linens, chair ties, and stylish florals.

When life gives you lemons, you can make lemonade or buy some shiny, happy sunflowers!

The sunflower inspired team from Snippet & Ink put this inspiration board together for us. We heart the simple sunflower bouquets, placecard holders and table settings.

* Destination: Brazil

Posted on May 5th, 2009 by Kathy. Filed under Beauty, Flowers.


Even if you aren’t going to Brazil for your honeymoon or destination bachelorette, you can still get a little taste of some spectacular goodies from New York’s MoMA Store.  They just launched an exclusive product collection featuring materials usually only found in Brazil.  Some of the jewelry is truly unique, especially this amazing rose brooch made out of fish scales!
