A WEDDING TABLESCAPE FIT FOR THANKSGIVING

Although this is a wedding shoot, the colors and textures of this gorgeous tablescape designed by Firefly Event Company and East West Vintage Rentals looks perfect for an elegant Thanksgiving dinner. The distressed farm table is the perfect foundation for the blast of colors from the flowers. If you live in a warm climate and are able to have Thanksgiving dinner al fresco -- all the better!

BABY SHOWER FILLED WITH WHITE PUMPKINS AND TEDDY BEARS!

Canadian event designers, Beaucoup D'Amour Events & Weddings, created a beautiful cottage-like interior to celebrate this Mama Bear's upcoming arrival. The rustic decor included wood rounds for plate chargers, mason jar foods and lots of greenery to bring the outdoors in. I really love the addition of mom and dad's birth stats on display. The white pumpkins also make this decor ideal for this time of year.

BEAUTIFULLY BRIGHT BRIDAL SHOWER

Bright colors took the main stage for this bridal shower styled photo shoot. The addition of the watercolor effects and stripes gave the decor a whimsical tone. And those geode Oreos look much too pretty to eat! Special thanks to Dallas' Meli Kerr Photography for capturing and sharing the event with us.

GORGEOUS WEDDING SHOOT INSPIRED BY DIA DE LOS MUERTOS

I hope you all had a great Halloween! If you recognize Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) you might still be celebrating. The Mexican holiday, which officially ends today, inspired this gorgeous photo shoot from North Carolina's Wild Love Grows. I love the combination of colorful soft flowers with the prickly cacti; the deep jewel tones and the white lace. Feast your eyes on all the lovely details!

HALLOWEEN PARTY WEEKEND

Did you go to any Halloween parties this past weekend? Private or public parties were going on all over. What did you dress up as? My husband and I went to a house party as Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf. Lots of fun. It was the first time we got dressed up for Halloween before the kids!

I did a better job getting photos of the costumes than the party decor.

How cute are these cake pops??

Yup, even adults play the mummy game!

Enjoy these last few Halloween days!

WEDDING BURSTING WITH FALL COLORS

This couple was inspired by their favorite season to come up with the perfect look for their wedding. They used crimson red, burnt orange and sunset yellow to create a beautiful "fall oasis in the desert" theme for their Arizona wedding. The reception decor was a family effort led by the bride's mom, who transformed the courtyard into a chic, fall garden party. There is so much inspiration in this eclectic setup, from the colors to the flowers to the pie bar. (Hello Thanksgiving!) Thanks to Arizona photographer Pure in Art for sharing the yummy and lovely details with us.
