Orange Grove Wedding Inspiration

I love the idea of using citrus as a theme especially for outdoor settings like these. This is an Orange Groove Inspiration shoot found at Elizabeth Anne Designs and was created by Intertwined Events and photographed my Love Ala. I love how they used every day items to create such a wonderful scene.

Custom Inspiration Board – Beach Picnic Reception

admin — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 12:13:18 +0000

Here is a Custom Inspiration Board that I did for someone. They are having a reception for their destination wedding that they had and wanted to incorporate the beach since that is where they were married into a casual picnic theme.

Dinner Plate; Seashell Place Cards; Beach Bucket Centerpieces; Cupcake toppers; Cupcakes; Potato Salad; Sandwiches; Picnic Lunch; Candles and Cake; Invitation; Picnic Scene

Invitations: Set the theme by sending either a beach or picnic styled invitation; if your guest list is small you could hand deliver invitations rolled up and put in a bottle with sand and a sea shell

Table Settings and Decorations: Have a picnic table set up or have blankets spread out for guests to sit at. For centerpieces, you can use picnic baskets with sea shells and beach items coming out of them. Decorate galvanized buckets with your color scheme and add sand with flowers in it for another great centerpiece. Personalize sea shells to use as place cards.

Food: Serve picnic styled food in boxes for the guests; you can choose either a beach themed cake or beach sand cupcakes for everyone to enjoy.

Summer Soiree – Bridal Luncheon

admin — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 12:09:12 +0000

This beautiful Summer Soiree was done by You’re Invited Gifts, Paper and Events and captured by Jonathon Campbell Photography.

I adore the pink and lime green combination used for this luncheon. Another great detail are the strawberries filled in the bottom of the drink dispenser and putting the fresh dogwood blossoms in the jar is great! The bird sticks for the dessert shooter glasses add another great touch to the table. The dessert shooters were strawberries and cream trifle and key lime and cream dessert shots.

It’s a SWEET Farm Party

admin — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 11:34:15 +0000

If you are new to Sweets Indeed, then you HAVE to take a look at the wonderful creations they have! One of my favorites is this Down on the Farm Party. There was “general store” and lemonade stand where the kids could use play money to fill their favor pails with delicious treats and nostalgic toys. Some of the mini dessert stations included Homespun honey, “Moo Moo Milkdud” cartons, a chicken coop, pig pen, kettle corn, and tons of old fashioned candy items.

The bright vibrant colors just add another vibrant touch to the brilliant celebration!

Ice Cream Cone Vase

Wouldn’t this be a cute way to decorate for a summer ice cream social. Simply fill some ice cream cones with some bright summer flowers to add a special touch to a celebration. This would also look great added into a dessert table!
