cake

Look what I got today!  A gorgeous cake made entirely out of flowers!!  Thanks so much to my friend's at BLUSH for making this arrangement for me.  I love it!!!  It's perfect for my b&w dining room and as the centerpiece to my table for my big birthday this week.

Out of Town burlap bags

These are the Out of Town bags I made for my good friend, Elisabeth, from BLUSH. She had the most beautiful wedding at the Jonathan Edwards Winery in No. Stonighton CT this weekend. To welcome her guests to this fabulous event I used burlap bags to include home made cookies (made by the grooms mother) and personalized m&m's, among other things. I used craft paper and the couples custom wedding stamp to personalize the water bottles. Attached to the bags was an invitation to lunch the next day. I used a mason jar stamp for the invitation, hand wrote the party details and then had it color copied. The mason jar tied into the wedding details. Not only were flowers arranged in mason jars but, the bride & groom served the most delicious white sangria after the ceremony in them too! Look for more details from this spectacular event on Elisabeth's blog later this summer.

mmm,mmm, good

I got this idea from my friends at BLUSH! They used tomato cans for vases at this gorgeous backyard wedding. I thought iconic Campbell's soup cans would be the perfect vessels to display flowers for our soup party. They make these tall "family" style cans in the supermarket. I simply cut the tulips to size and voila.... a simple, inexpensive and whimsical arrangement!
