BOHEMIAN STYLED WEDDING WITH UNIQUE TIRE BACKDROP

Yes–tires! You read that right. Colored tires beautifully provide an unexpected complement to the venue's wooden setting and accents. I also love the bar which reminds me of a pop-up camper. The florals bring the whole look together, making it soft and romantic. Big thanks to San Diego photographer, Willmus Weddings, for capturing the shoot and sharing it with us. And be sure to check out everyone listed below who made up the creative team that put this all together.

EASTER TABLE FOR TWO

Do you have your Easter plans set yet? I'm sure most of you are getting together with family or friends. Before you head on over to the big gathering, why not indulge in some quality time with a significant other in the morning. If it'll only be the two of you–even better–you can snuggle and just enjoy the whole day together! I love this sweet table designed and photographed by Connecticut's Kristina Staal. The Easter touches are subtle to keep everything elegant, while still being festive.

DIY MAILBOX PLANTERS

Just because Earth Day is behind us doesn't mean we should stop thinking about how to repurpose, reuse and recycle. I love this project from Second Chance to Dream. This is a great repurposing project and pretty spring decor to add to your front porch - especially if you like decor with a bit of a vintage flair. Find the full tutorial here.

FLORAL TRAY USING MELTED CRAYONS

You've probably melted crayons for kid projects, but how about doing it for this pretty adult acrylic tray project from Crafts Unleashed?! I love the way the melted crayons take on a watercolor look. She used her Silhouette Cameo to cut out the crayon floral shapes but I'm wondering if you could use cookie cutters? That would probably be easy enough if you don't own a Cameo, or as she suggests you can just use scissors.  Find the full tutorial here.

CLASSIC EASTER BRUNCH

This blissful setting, designed and organized by Fairy Godmother, was inspired by classic Easter tales and is a perfect way to welcome family and friends on Easter. I especially love the vintage bar cart and different ceramic bunnies throughout the decor. The small bites of food prove you don't have to go all out with big hams and such to create an elegant spread. Thanks to California photographer, Tim Chong, for sharing this beautiful brunch that can be enjoyed by all ages.

EASTER CENTERPIECE USING CLOTHES PINS

When I started this blog I used to post great crafts and DIY projects I thought were pretty unique and that I felt all skill levels could do. These days with Pinterest, etc. it's become much harder to find those kinds of projects. I feel like we've seen it all. But this project from An Extraordinary Day has re-inspired me! This darling Easter centerpiece is different and really makes a statement on your Easter table. Find the full directions here.

BEAUTIFUL BRUNCH INSPIRATION WITH LEMONS, GREENERY AND MORE

With the start of spring comes the start of fresh party themes. Magnolia Grove Weddings and Events took a break from weddings to style this beautiful brunch that would be perfect for Mother's Day, bridal shower or even a birthday. The watercolors, lemons and greenery whips open the windows and welcomes spring into the home! And you can't have brunch without a mimosa bar. Enhance your own bar with fresh fruit and different flavored juices. Thanks to North Carolina's Kelsey Nelson Photography for capturing and submitting the inspiration. Please make sure to check out the entourage of vendors below who put this spring inspiration together and were kind to share their creativity with us.

JOYS OF SPRING IN ONE PARTY

Happy first day of spring everyone! To celebrate, I have this darling spring-inspired one year birthday party photographed by North Carolina's Hillary Leah Photography to share with you. The birthday girl's mom borrowed some of the season's elements to create a soft and darling party for her little girl, including floral patterns, bee-themed decor and pastel colors. How genius was it to use doughnut holes as a beehive?! The family's talent didn't stop there. The birthday girl's grandmother is a floral designer and used her skills to decorate the party with plush floral arrangements. Enjoy!
