~ two: perfect purple details ~

Stunning hydrangea that would look fabulous grouped together for a simple bouquet/centerpiece, or purple bottles lining the tables with simple white blooms - perfection!

P.S. - Sorry for a late post today...such a crazy, busy day!  I will be back later tonight with another post...see you then!

~ tuesday thought: collections ~

I just L-O-V-E everything about this picture...

The glass jars, the buttons, the vintage silverware, the color...all of it!  I think the reason it appeals to me so much is that these are some of the things I like and collect (especially the vintage silverware)...among others.

Do you collect anything?  Well if you do...here's your Tuesday Thought:  incorporate them into your wedding.  I mean, how cute would it be to have each table be something different - placed in a pretty jars like the ones above you could have a button table, a vintage silverware table, etc...  It would allow you the opportunity to show off your collections and provide a great centerpiece display.  Just add some small jars of flowers, candles or other little things and you have a very personal centerpiece!  (P.S. - I'm working on a photo shoot doing this...and it looks amazing!)

And if you don't want to use them as centerpieces...I am sure you can find other places to have them on display...a mantle, a vintage cabinet, at a welcome table...you get the idea.

~ tea time ~

I am loving all these different pitchers and decanters of tea, each with their own little nosegay...

They look so pretty all grouped together!  I love this idea for a casual reception, a bridal luncheon or a day after the wedding picnic, and it's so easy to do!
