Ladybug Birthday Party

Loved working on the ladybug party.  It was the guest of honor's first birthday and she was so adorable in her black and red tutu!

Rustic Wedding Ideas

We are so in love with rustic weddings.  They have such a warm, fun feeling to them.  The personalities of the bride and groom seem to really shine. There are some great ideas out there.  I could pin and post pictures all day!

Choosing Seasonal Flowers for Your Event

Flowers are such an integral part of any event.  Everyone loves to see flowers; they make people happy! Along with choosing flowers based on color, you'll want to think about what is in season.  One of the best reasons to choose flowers that are in season the same month as your event is that you can save money.

Spring Flowers

Peony

Hydrangea

Parrot Tulip

Cherry Blossom

 Summer Flowers

Daisy

Orchid

Sunflower

Gardenia

Fall Flowers

Japanese Anemone

Aster

Rose

Dahlia

There aren't too many winter flowers, but you can use forced bulbs and berries.  Roses and carnations are good options, since they are available year round and are inexpensive.  Some beautiful winter bouquets can be found at Enjoy Your Wedding Now.  I added two of my favorite below.

Amaryllis

Winter Berries

Rose
