{CONTRIBUTOR POST} Geek Wedding Love

I'm a little bit of a Harry Potter fan and tend to like some 'geeky' things (where are my Big Bang & LOST fans at!?!) I'm also a big wedding fan...flowers, the look on the grooms face, the reception decor.. I obviously could go on and on. Most might find it surprising that what I love most about weddings is the couple's ability to express themselves and their interests.  

A Harry Potter fan, a super hero fanatic, a physicist, or even a couple who shares a passion for education, no matter what the reason or interest, a wedding theme that represents the personality of the bride & groom has me all smiles. Stay true to you, show your 'geek' love and celebrate your special day your way!

{CONTRIBUTOR POST} Balloon Party Decor

The newest post from Melissa at Truly Chic Inspirations, makes me so happy!

I LOVE balloons...and my munchkin loves balloons! Every year for his birthday

he wakes up to a million balloons hanging from the ceiling and scattered all over the floor.

And as you will see, balloons aren't just for kids anymore!

When one typically thinks of balloons, they picture a balloon tied to a gift bag,

 or in my case I think of the gigantic Mickey balloons at Disney.

I recently came across a few party balloon posts by The Flair Exchange and

Cupcakes & Cutlery, and my view point on balloons and how to use them has shifted. 

 I'm in love with the possibilities...an abundant amount of balloons in a room, at a

dinner party, an outdoor photo shoot or a creative display for a themed event.  

I'm definitely going to consider using balloons at my next event!

{CONTRIBUTOR POST} Blush & Neutral Party Inspiration

Blush and neutral colors help to create a classy and clean display, which I adore.  

This photo shoot not only includes great color combination but also the oh so

popular succulent. The stylist did an amazing job with the arrangement of the

succulents... such a great idea having them in tea cups.  

The fabric banner grabs much attention to the white wall and puts the

focus on the stunning dessert table.

This photo shoot is sure to inspire a bridal shower, wedding, or even engagement

party. If you are searching for a way to showcase your love for pink,

in a classy manner, this photo shoot does so perfectly.
