Mercury Glass Love...

It took awhile to grow on me, but now I am totally in LOVE with mercury glass...especially mercury glass votive/candle holders. It may be the romantic in me, but there is something about the soft glow and the vintage looking votives that has my heart pitter patting. What I love most about mercury glass is that it can be dressed down or dressed up and looks equally fabulous!! I've been working with my florist on the decor for my wedding and mercury glass will definitely be making an appearance. I can't wait to see it all come together!!

They're In!!

My bridesmaids' dresses came in the mail yesterday and I couldn't have been more excited to see them!! Of course I immediately ran over to my sister's house to make her try on her dress (and pose for my camera). Doesn't she look fabulous!!

.
.

I think my favorite part of the dress is the dramatic collar, although she might say the pockets...

.

Unfortunately, I had to cut her feet off in the picture because she is wearing flip flops. She assured me that won't happen at the wedding...maybe just the reception :). I'm thinking a nice pair of strappy gold shoes would be perfect. Well, I couldn't end this post without throwing in a photo of my precious nephew Bennett. He just turned one and has gotten his first pair of "walking" shoes as my sister calls them. We are waiting to see if he will be able to make it down the aisle as a ring bearer. He's pretty cute, isn't he?

Swooning...again

It never fails...every time I see a ghost chair I swoon! You may remember my post awhile ago featuring a fabulous monogrammed ghost chair at a wedding reception. Or my post on a navy and pink color scheme, that just so happened to feature the ghost chair. Well, my obsession still continues since I came across the images above on Style Me Pretty yesterday! Not only would I love to style a party with the ghost chair, but I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have a ghost chair in my house. Ahhh...a girl can dream, right?!

Blue and Yellow

I'm not usually drawn to a blue and yellow color palette, but I am loving this subtle combination of those two colors. You know my obsession for mason jars, so this table setting has lured me in! I love that the blue and yellow are combined through the use of vintage glassware, whether its a wine glass, vase or mason jar. I'm also crazy about the juxtaposition of the delicate glass and the rustic wood table. The gorgeous flowers are simple and romantic and make the perfect centerpiece for this fabulous table.

.

Now not only do I need to keep up my collection of mason jars, I need to add colored glass to the list too!

Pinwheels!

I feel like everywhere I turn these days pinwheels are popping up...especially in event decor. And don't just think pinwheels should be limited to a child's birthday party, they are making appearances at wedding receptions too! I love how they add a youthful fun loving punch to any type of party. If you are on a tight budget, they can be certainly be a creative substitute for flowers. Would you incorporate pinwheels into your next party??
