Paper Runner
Here is an inexpensive DIY for making a runner, and has the potential to be loaded with personality. Using craft paper and a stencil (that you can pick up a hardware store) trace a pattern using a chalk. Cut out the paper using a paper cutter, and voila....a fabulous runner!
Enjoy!

Bouquet of Meaning
Still on the heels of the royal wedding, I have come to realize that there is a lot of thoughtfulness that went into their nuptials. As time goes on, more and more details from the wedding are made clear and I have an appreciation for it. When I first saw Kate's bouquet I was disappointed, but I have discovered the meaning behind every flower. Here is the meaning of each flower in this thoughtful bouquet:
"The bride's bouquet is the traditional all-white arrangement of flowers carried at royal weddings. I recognized the dainty and elegant bell-shaped flowers, lily of the valley, which symbolize the return of happiness in Kate's wedding bouquet. The perfect accompaniment to the tiny white flowers is the Sweet William which stands for gallantry. The flower is most certainly a romantic tribute to the groom who is a gallant young man. White hyacinth which stands for constancy of love, and myrtle the symbol of love and marriage fill out the shield-shaped bouquet with its ribbon-wrapped handle. Touches of ivy are a subtle background representing friendship, affection, fidelity, wedded love and marriage. The symbolism is deep and meaningful. This bride, this elegant princess, has chosen flowers to honor the love she has for her prince. She has also respectfully chosen to honor the Queen and Great Britain with her use of meaningful native flowers and greenery."
Congratulations Kate and William for staying true to themselves.
Enjoy!

Tulip Bouquet
I really enjoy Tulips, and I feel inspired by this pink tulip bouquet. The pink tulips are so much fun, and the matching pink wrap looks very chic. In this case, it is fun to be "matchy matchy" as I call it. I would go as far to say that I would put a bridesmaid in the same colour dress, and create a whole monotone pallet. Loves it!
Enjoy!

Royal Fashion
Last time I posted I was on my way to Disney World, and what a trek it was to get there. I am back now with fullfilled childhood dreams, a golden tan, and glad to be back to blogging.
So lets mention the most anticipated wedding of the century!! As always I love bridal fashion, and I absolutely LOVED Kate Middleton's reception gown. Designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, the dress had her trademark simplicity with a splash of bling and fur. She looks beautiful, and has effortless beauty which every bride wants to accomplish.
I wasn't sure if I loved her ceremony gown, but the more I look at it, the more I appreciate her staying true to herself. I was expecting something over-the-top, but that isn't her style. clean and romantic, this suited her perfectly.
Loves it!~
