Its always great to have a theme for your baby shower, it can be anything you want. Of course knowing if your baby is a boy or girl helps lol!




















I love how the baby blocks are hanging from the light fixture.

Wall of Flowers

Happy Tuesday! For some reason when I walk into a room, one of the things I notice are "Walls"...LOL....I know, I know...a little weird but I'm always curious to see whats on it such as color, paintings, style, and decor. So....I did a little digging and found some interesting photos in relation to "Walls of Flowers" that can be used to inspire you at your next special event :-)

I must say that I have ran across Da Vinci's Florist a few times and I truly appreciate their work! I bet they had this wall of flowers going around the entire tent!

Now for all you DIY brides, what a lovely way to create your own little wall of flower ceremony/altar backdrop.

Once again, a wall with paper flowers! Its so chic! What a great way to use this for escort cards or place cards. :-)

I LOVE this photo and the fact that you can still see what's going on across the room with the glass wall....how unique and oh so creative! :-)

Another great photo of the wall of flowers going around the cake table...giving it that extra oomph! :-)

Lovely for a backyard wedding or special event! It kind of has that vintage feel to it :-) You can DIY...just get some bottles, stick flowers in them and hang! :-)

Monogram Lighting

"Monogram Lighting"......ever thought of using this at your wedding, party, or special event? I find that monogram lighting can be one of the most creative, unique, and FABULOUS way to pull together your wedding colors, details, decor, and design elements of your event put together! :-) Great lighting can even turn your drab room into a FAB one...TRUST ME ;-) There's so many things you can do with it such as create your own design, color timeline and etc. Lets check out some pictures I found!

I love how this is very clean, elegant & so simple.

Sweet designs for the ceiling. :-)

Of course I was going to post this photo...I LOVE butterflies! But of course you guys already knew that ;-)

Stunning photo! Love how the photographer captured the essence of the lighting on the ceiling!

Another GORGEOUS photo! Which leads me to my next point. One of the best things about using lighting or monogram lighting is that it can serve as a perfect backdrop for all of your hard & beautiful work! Cake, flowers, decor, table setting, and etc...whatever you want to showcase. :-) Another great way to WOW your guests with your own designs.

Remember to have fun with it and don't be afraid to contact your local lighting/decor company to request a quote, it may not be as costly as you think, especially if you design everything yourself! :-)  You won't ever know until you try :-) Good luck & Happy Planning! :-)

Disney: Wedding Dresses

Disney World! Who wouldn't want to go there :-) I was actually working on vacation plans tonight, boyfriend and I plan to go to Disney World sometime in November 2011...can't wait! But while I was working on those plans I started thinking about "Disney Weddings" and what it would be like to get married there :-) I'm sure its been a dream of most girls to get married there...including me (I must admit). Hopefully my boyfriend will surprise me this year and "PUT A RING ON IT"! Oh oh oh how that would make my year 2011 ;-) LOL! But don't tell him I said that ;-)

Anywho! I did some browsing and here are some FABULOUS Disney Wedding Dresses I found. By the way, which Disney Character do they remind you of?
