Ahh... Amour

Pink is always in style~ but especially on the day of Love! As Valentines is the most popular winter wedding date, here are a few ideas for you if you've chosen Valentines for your special day! I love the poms the girls are holding, and their flower crowns too~ so precious! and I love the brides gorgeous pink satin shoes!

Wow your guests with fresh flower petals for them to shower you with as you leave your celebration! So much more romantic than bubbles don't you think?

This is one of my new favorite things! Personalized postage! Create your own beautiful stamps to highlight your envelopes at PerfectPostage.com! So cool!

Isn't this beautiful? and so true too! ~Always keep love alive!

Dressed for Winter

This is the willow arch I made this fall (thanks for the willows Dirk!). Right now it is all dressed up for the winter and adorning my front door. It is about 8 ft. tall and would make a great backdrop or entry decor.

My decor wouldn't be complete without adding a little festiveness to my old bench. Now I'm ready for a little winter fun!
