shades of pink

there are so many reasons we love these two pictures {lc lauren conrad for kohl's & martha stewart weddings}! first, the oversize balloons are to die for and the petals use on the tiered cake, divine! the color gradient is such a dramatic effect in a modern way! we could see this used on tissue paper garland, bedroom walls and handmade stationary!

the heat of summer

as temperatures soar, we are reminded of a simpler time when popsicles, friends and care free days were all we needed! here a pretty garden party sets the summer mood {rue magazine}

coffee with love

say it like you mean it ~ en francais! it's never to late to say it and why not wear it on your sleeve! these darling coffee wraps were too cute to pass up from {eat, drink, chic}. je t'aime!

pretty baby shower

create a gorgeous shower using pretty peonies, macarons and other yummy sweets! to create design interest, be sure to use cake stands to add various height. Also try different types of vintage glass and porcelain, sticking to two or three colors only. this sweet event was created by the talented amy atlas!
