CHIC = CARNATIONS = LESS EXPENSIVE FLOWER

Yup I said it...CARNATIONS for your wedding or event! Some you might be saying "I'm not a big fan of carnations"...or "Carnations are sort of the ugly duckling of flowers"...or whatever you reasons may be. Ever heard of the saying "One bad apple spoils the brunch"? Well that's how carnations seemed to get treated as...and I find that very interesting.

But to be honest with you...personally, I've always loved carnations myself... and trust me when I say that carnations can be chic & beautiful when used the right way at an event...especially a wedding.

You might be thinking in your head, "Mary...why should I choose carnations over other flowers that I have in mind?". Well I'd say, think of it this way...Carnations equals:

• BUDGET FRIENDLY: (And all of you brides out there know you LOVE this word!) Carnations are a lot cheaper than most flowers. I believe the last quote I got for carnations ranges from $1.50-2.00 a stem...maybe lower or higher depending on where you're located.
• SHAPES: Carnations are so clean and versatile! I love that they can still look fabulous when created according to shapes such as squares, rectangles, and etc.
• COLORS: Carnations comes in so many different colors from red, green, blue, orange, pink, yellow, white, and etc. Carnations can also be dyed or tinted to match your color scheme. So take your pick because you can't go wrong with choosing colors for carnations!

Here are some ADVANTAGES of using Carnations in your wedding or special event:

• Low Cost (of course!)
• Longevity! Carnations last little longer than most cut flowers. They can last up to 2 weeks depending on variety!
• Usually available from florists year round
• Can fairly tolerate HEAT! Which means for all of you summer brides or anyone planning events in warm climates; carnations can take some heat!
• Carnations are durable flowers that can be used in a variety of designs.

Shall I go on? I think you get where I'm coming from :o) Enjoy!

FABULOUS IDEA!

Hi everyone & Happy Thursday! I hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend! I had a blast! Its great to be around family and those you love :o) Anywho...

I was browsing on Google checking out wedding photos of place cards, and etc and came across these FAB photos of ring boxes being used as place cards! I have never seen something like this done before and I think they're very unique and modern! What a great idea!

I wish I would've found them earlier or I would've never gotten rid of my empty ring/jewelry boxes LOL!

Are you lovin' the idea for your wedding or event?! If so, you can get empty ring boxes for as low as $1.59 a piece here, $1.99 here, OR get them for FREE by collecting them from family & friends who has them lying around somewhere.....Trust me everyone has a box or two around the house at least! ;o) Enjoy!

Memorial Day: Red, White, & Blue!

We hope you enjoyed the 3 day weekend filled with lots of BBQ's, close family/friends, warm weather, and FABULOUS fireworks! Since Memorial Day is our inspiration, we have decided to post a Memorial Day photo we LOVE!

We love the the red, white, and blue color palette allows your wedding or event to have a very fresh, warm, and summery feel to it. Be very creative and chic with your details and style of course! Get bold and go after the style/design that represents you the best! Are you vintage or glamorous? Preppy or Chic? Or are you Bold & Adventurous like me?!! ;o) Have fun with it!

Again Happy (belated) Memorial Day!
