Balloons are taking center stage lately in weddings, parties, engagement shoots. You name it. I love this fresh new take on an old school decoration.
Sabrina from Hello Lucky created a balloon wall with different lengths of strings!

As I continue research for my new project (to be revealed soon!) we found ourselves planting a family garden on earth day. It was so much fun, and I love the idea that we are growing our own food. We planted vegetables, herbs, fruits! We made sure to include Piper in the entire process, explaining to her what we were doing, letting her help pick out what to plant. It’s such a fun activity, and something that we tend to as a family each day!
My husband built the box we used for our box garden. We are beginners at this whole gardening thing, so we are sort of learning as we go.
It took Piper a minute to get into it, but before long she was digging in the dirt, and having fun with Daddy.
This is such a fun and easy activity to do as a family. It teaches your children where our food really comes from, and may even get them to eat their veggies with more enthusiasm! Give it a try. I would love to hear about your family gardens!

My inspiration to go post today comes from the pages of the latest Bon Appetit. I can’t help but notice how gorgeous the design is of this magazine. Serious design crush going on. Enjoy!

Having a signature cocktail at your wedding is a no brainer, but choosing that perfect cocktail (or 2) is another story. Why not make the process a party!? Invite your closest friends over, serve mini portions of 6 different cocktails that are in the running alongside some fabulous food. Make the evening casual and fun. Line the table with butcher paper and put jars filled with pens on the table. Encourage your guests to write down their thoughts for each cocktail they taste. At the end of the night, review your butcher paper and see which cocktails were the winners! Sounds like fun right?

We recently designed a photo save the date for a darling couple, inspired by one of our all time favorite collections, vintage romance. The color palette is a dusty rose and champagne, and I just loved the results! Stay tuned for their invitations and day of pieces too!

I am working on a super secret, super exciting project so you may see more and more food related posts for Mom Mondays in the weeks to come. To start it off, let’s talk healthy alternatives. Rather than giving your kids potato chips, why not try Kale Chips. Piper loves these and so do we. They are a family favorite. I know, they may sound weird, but I promise they are delicious and super easy!

I could not be more excited to share with you guys that we are featured in the new issue of Martha Stewart Real Weddings!! Eeek! It is such a surreal moment for us, and I am still slightly in shock. We could not be more honored to be featured next to some other fabulous designers. If you guys haven’t seen this issue, you really need to go check it out!
The invitation they featured is a gold foiled sewn booklet style save the date. It has a distinct wintery feel thus was selected for the Frosty Finds in the magazine.
Thank you so much to the ladies at Martha Stewart Weddings. We are so thrilled to be included in your gorgeous issue!!
