floral fantasy!

Beautiful Blooms, based in Philadelphia, is like porn for floral lovers! I love, LOVE their floral design. Beautiful Blooms is made up of a team of designers, and I truly think their designs are unique. And not only do they do flowers, they provide chairs, chair covers and linens...bringing the total package together. They are also a 2008 pick from The Knot Best of Weddings. Please be sure to visit their site for lots of inspiration!

This first set of pictures is my very favorite! I love the black and white combination, I LOVE the tablecloth and the hits of silver bring it all together.

I really like these colour and floral combinations. Look at the fantastic poppies in the centerpieces!

The prettiest of pinks...I love the soft pattern on the bridesmaids dresses. How cool is this greenery on the place cards table! The floral arbor is definitely one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen...do you think I can fit that in my office?

Okay, so I'm CRAZY about this for sooooo many reasons! These are pictures from a launch party for the Wedding Chicks. Amy Squires, a very talented photographer, and Jocey Canrinus, a very talented stationery designer, are the Wedding Chicks. They have a really fun blog, it's well written, the design is fab, and they have so many great ideas! Listen, if they put together a party like this, you know that not only would you totally want to hang out with them, but they've probably got all kinds of goodies to blog about!


This party was organized with the help of Kary H Events, and I wish I could of been there! I love the bottles in the ice....I love the little cupcake toppers....I love all the details!!

All images are from The Wedding Chicks and Kary H Events Blog.

Be sure to link through to their blogs to check out the full size images. Thanks for the great inspiration ladies!

unleash your inner artist

These are two of my new favorite websites. Wonderful Graffiti and Wonder Graffiti Wedding. Don't worry, this is the kind of graffiti that you do want on your walls. They have everything, quotes, monograms, even graffiti for your refrigerator.

Wonderful Graffiti Wedding has so many unique ways to personalize your wedding. I love the idea of graffiti for the car...the website insists that this will not damage the vehicle in any way. And I have to say, it's much better than crepe paper pom-poms. You could put your monogram on the dance floor, signs for the bathrooms or a quote for the entrance doors at your reception.

Be sure to check out their sister site, Wonderful Graffiti, for ideas for your new home (do they have one that says, "put your dishes in the dishwasher"?) My most favorite thing about these websites is that they offer something for all price ranges. The only question left, is which one will I pick?
