I just had a conversation with my sissy yesterday that it is the details that make the difference between good and great. And that details don't have to be expensive or over the top...just something a little extra that shows you paid attention and you care. Here are two perfect examples of simple homemade details that everyone can do...
The simple detail of ribbon, a clothespin and small card take this arrangement up a notch! Don't get me wrong, the arrangement is gorgeous on it's own, but it's the detail that was added that really grab your attention. Same goes for these drinks below...
Rows of drinks at the ready are pretty. But rows of drinks at the ready with orange and lime slices...very pretty! Plus, I am a L-O-V-E-R of some type of garnishment in drinks!
I have decided that since LCW is all about the details that I would start a details series...to be posted randomly...that hopefully inspires you to add some very pretty little details to your event!!!

ReplyDeleteI am a garnish gal, too. It is the little things that can make a glass of nothing look like something.
