Pretty Pansies for an Early Spring Wedding

Wow, it has been a busy couple of months!  I am glad I finally managed to squeeze in a short blog post.  First off, lets just say I am obsessed with Pinterest.  If you haven't checked it out, it is a great site for ideas.  I am constantly searching through the Pinterest site and the web for photos and ideas for parties and weddings that match my invitations and inspire me to create more.  The collage below is an example of photos I have "pinned" to one of my boards.  To check out more of my pins or to become a follower on Pinterest click on the follow me button below or on the right.

Violets and pansies add delicate and natural features to a winter or early spring wedding or party

When I designed the Violet Vintage Botanical Wedding Invitation, I loved the simple and natural feel of the featured floral design mixed with the elegant and delicate text.  Printed on thick luxurious cotton paper makes it extra sweet.  Violets and pansies make a perfect addition to a vintage or rustic wedding.  From shortbread cookies, to favors, to the bouquet, these versatile flowers can be used in so many creative ways.  For more info on how you can create this natural look for your event click on the follow me on Pinterest button for links to each photo above or click on the links below.

Sweet Summer Party Idea - A Watermelon Birthday

I just love the idea of having a watermelon themed birthday party. Not only is it unique, but the mix of pinks and greens is super cute! Here are some ideas to make your summer party extra fun! You could go with a unique watermelon cake and add a scoop of ice cream to stay cool on a hot summer day or you could carve a watermelon into cute and creative shapes and fill with assorted fruits. I created cupcake toppers for this invitation set, but they can also be attached to tooth picks and used in watermelon and fruit wedges as an alternative to cupcakes. Instead of soft drinks, serve watermelon coolers, smoothies or kool-aid and add a little mint leaf to the top. I would definitely recommend taking this party outdoors and having a picnic party, with gingham table clothes and spread blankets on the ground for the kids. Of course there are hundreds of adorable watermelon dresses and bows available for the birthday girl. I had a difficult time picking just one to feature in this collage.
