My Little Flower Shop Wedding Centerpiece Goes To A “Kate Spade” Party

by

A modern wedding centerpiece from our website was featured in a blog today about translating your favorite clothing designer’s “look” into a look for an event. Our wedding centerpiece was put on an inspiration board for a Kate Spade-styled event.  How delightful!  Thanks to Dana from Big City Farm Girl, and to Lindsay from Pinklet and C for including us in this fun concept.

Hi Everyone, I’m Dana – fashion lover, DIY enthusiast, blogger over at Big City Farm Girl, and good friend of Lindsey’s! I’m super excited to be posting over here at Pinklet and C. I wanted to make my post both fun and inspirational and came up with the idea of translating one of my favorite designers into an awesome party. When a designer creates a collection it needs to be cohesive, inspirational, eye catching, and make everyone go “wow.” Well don’t you want the same reaction when throwing a dinner party, birthday celebration, or bridal shower? Incorporating a certain designer’s aesthetic is a way to make your party both  fun and fashionable. One of my favorite designers out there right now is Kate Spade. I’m in love with her bold, gorgeous, bright pieces and jewel tone accessories and of course classic polka dot prints. So why not take this look and plan a party around in?

Thanks Lindsey for having me over here at Pinklet and C. I would love for everyone to stop by my blog and say hello!

What Makes A Bride Feel Like A Bride? Her Bouquet.

by

All brides’ bouquets are very important to the way they feel on their wedding day, but none so much as the women we meet who are here in Palm Springs to elope or have tiny family weddings.  The bouquet is central in making that bride feel no less important than Kate Middleton taking her vows in front of the entire world.  This inspiration board we’re sharing is from an elopement at The Lucy House here in Palm Springs. The bride, in an adorable cocktail style dress, was definitely in love with her bouquet. Oh yeah – and the groom too.  Enjoy.  Photography by Debi Parker.

 

Back to School Rules for the Bride

Why not get married on campus? (Photo credit: Lisy)

It’s Spring! Kids, teens and college students across the country are looking forward to the end of the year.  No more teachers, no more books…But when you’re planning a wedding, there are reasons to go back to school.  Here are several wedding “wins” to be found on campus.

  • The campus itself.  Are you attached to your alma-mater? Or do you live in the vicinity of a university with a gorgeous quad, beautiful chapel, or a high school with an art-deco auditorium?  Consider educational institutions when looking for a wedding venue.  They are often clean, beautifully landscaped and have plenty of parking.
  • The musical talent. Students at the college level (and if you have a performing arts high school in your area – there too) have all sorts of musical groups that make for great wedding entertainment, and/or ceremony music.  Need acapella singers? A string quartet? A marching band for a rousing grand entrance? They’ve got you covered.
  • Don’t forget the trade schools.  Particularly the cosmetology schools.  While you may not want a student to do your hair and make-up day-of, what better way to experiment with a few looks in advance?  Up-dos are definitely in the repertoire (and on the exam) for any aspiring hairstylist, and maybe he’ll teach you a thing or two about your bridal look.

There you have it, the synergy of the school bell and the wedding bells!  Study up!
