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

May 3, 2012 by Dinah

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?

Now who doesn’t want to throw a party based on their favorite designer?

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

My Little Advice Shop: Wedding Centerpiece of My Mind – Avoiding The Overly Literal

April 27, 2012 by Dinah

We’ve all been to kid’s birthday parties where you walk in and you know right away that the guest-ette of honor is completely obsessed with Dora The Explorer. How? There are Dora the Explorer balloons, a Dora The Explorer cake, Pin the Backpack On Dora The Explorer, and in this economy, poor Aunt Lisa has been talked into sweating it out inside the Dora costume. We get the message – signed, sealed, explored.

To make a long blog entry short, don’t have a Dora The Explorer wedding. OK, so you want it to feel “beachy.” If you pass out flip flops at the door, hire a Beach Boys tribute band, and have wedding centerpieces like this, it’s going to hit everyone over the head. Pick your “theme” or colors, or “feel” and weave it in subtly. We love the quirky romantic vibe of this wedding at Palm Springs own haven for quirky romantic occasions, The Viceroy. There is no Victorian lace, no vintage fabrics, no shabby chic floral containers. But, by the nature of the soft colors, the soft textures of the flowers contrasted with the bold graphics of the linens, there is a sweet romantic feel to the design. See if you agree!

My husband and I will have been married two years in October. And in many ways, we do still act like newlyweds. In particular, I want to show anyone and everyone our wedding pictures. Lucky for me, I write a wedding blog for My Little Flower Shop, and have been able to splash them all over the place- including blog posts, and a whole Pinterest board all our own. (And like any newlywed would, I check constantly to see if anyone has ‘liked’ or ‘repinned’ anything). We visited old friends of Stephen’s in Virginia* last week, and some were not able to make the wedding. I eagerly awaited the moment I get to whip out the iPad and show off our very gorgeous day, brought to us by our parents, and My Little Flower Shop. I got to go back to those days after the wedding when ooohing and aahing was more frequent. It was delicious.

Looking to oooh and aaah over your own pics again? Shutterfly is running a special on photobooks- 40% off, but only through tomorrow. Use the discount code: BOOK40.

Be well, and love well.

* I am not one to send destination brides anywhere but Palm Springs. BUT: Virginia in April is positively heavenly, and an ideal option for East Coast getaway wedding seekers. More on the beautiful venues I visited in upcoming blogs.
