GRAPES AND GERBER DAISY WEDDING

Majestic Oak Vineyard in Ojai, California was the perfect setting for this fun and colorful couple's wedding. Handmade details were being prepared by the bride up until the day before the wedding. The gerber daisies provided great pops of color and I love how they used the vineyard's elements, such as the barrels and wine bottles, to blend into the setting. Thanks so much to California photographer, Tana Hayes Photography, for submitting the photos.

LOVE-LY STYLED BRIDAL SHOWER

Nope, it's not Valentine's Day... but still a celebration of love! This sparkly, red and pink bridal shower was taken by Colorado's Kimberly Weber Photography. As much as I love the decor, I have to admit that my two favorite take-aways from this styled shoot are the "Bride to Be BFF" canvas with each of their lip marks and the photo with the countdown sign. Each offers a great souvenir from the big day. I also love that not only is this shower celebrating the upcoming nuptials, it's also celebrating the best friends in bride-to-be's  life. Enjoy!

ORIGAMI 30TH BIRTHDAY PARTY

This birthday girl proved you can get amazing results with some folded paper and imagination. Origami cranes hanging from clouds created a beautiful airy look and feel, while the stream of candles created elegance and just the right amount of sophistication for this 30th birthday party. And the guests are pretty good looking, too! Thank you to Canada photographer, Barbara Rahal Photography for capturing the details and sharing them with us!

TODAY'S TAKEAWAY: PAPER PLATE BACKGROUND

How awesome is this backdrop in a robot party featured on Kara's Party Ideas? Look closely and you'll notice that it's made with paper plates! Like crepe paper, paper plates are a great inexpensive item to create backdrops for large areas. You can easily see those square paper plates being used for a Lego or Minecraft party. Perfect also for a photo booth.

BOHEMIAN STYLED ELOPEMENT

There's such a soft and feminine quality to Bohemian decor, that it's no wonder it's become so popular for weddings, teen birthdays and showers. This styled photo shoot takes those qualities and accents them with rustic furniture and white linens and lace. The lovely shoot was taken and shared by California's Elle Lilly Photography and Videography.
