WOW, it’s really been forever. I took a much needed break from the stresses of daily blogging. Don’t know if you know – but it’s a lot of work.
Whew!
When I first started my blog, I read blogs of people who were very successful bloggers. They said, if you don’t feel inspired, don’t blog. As much as I love weddings and working with Brides and Grooms, I wasn’t motivated. Since I heeded the word of people more successful than I – I just didn’t blog.
Strange thing, I missed it.
So, here I am catching up for the 3 days I missed.
Hum?
How do I combine a wedding tip, style and eco friendly?
A Ha!
The Father of the Bride created this arch using wood on his farm. He conditioned and bent every single piece of wood. This arch is 100 percent nature! This Bride and Groom were absolutely lovely.
No matter what you have or don’t have – stay true to yourselves. If you do that, your wedding will shine! After all, the purpose of a wedding is to celebrate the love between two people.
Happy planning
(How did I do)?
The lovely picture is from Brendan Bush Photography
While I am still drooling over custom letterpress invitations from Ladyfingers Letterpress, I wanted to mention that they believe as environmental responsibility. They purchase all of their papers locally, they set up their designs to minimize paper waste, and use only non-toxic solvents!
How cool is this?
And, all the designs are custom. Did I mention that?
Custom letterpress that’s environmentally responsible!
Happy planning!

This year, Valentines Day has been a wealth of inspiration for me – for practical and nice ideas. Yesterday’s inspiration came from a homemade valentines dinners of fajitas, homemade guacamole, and delicious frozen ritas!
Today’s inspiration was from a gorgeous Orchid plant that my hubby gave me for Valentines day. Orchids are gorgeous and so elegant. What a lovely centerpiece that your guests could take home and take care of for years to come.
Ehm. Excuse the cell phone picture. My hubby took the camera with him this morning. You have to make due with what you have, no?
At any rate, take out all the pink frilly stuff that comes with valentines day – place the plant in a beautiful ceramic ornamental vase and you have one hell of a centerpiece that someone can grow and enjoy.
Plus, they are EASY! Give it some indirect light, water it once a week, add liquid fertilizer once a month and re-pot every two years.
How’s that for reducing waste?
Now, before you decide to undertake this, remember your guests and where they are coming from. If a bulk are from out of the country – maybe it’s not such a good idea!
Happy planning!
