Giveaway: $75 Store Credit to Blume Box

 I just love fresh flowers for both the smell and the look! My neighbor has the most beautiful blue azaleas that I pick every June to use as the focal point of my daughters birthday party (thanks Nicki!) I put them everywhere, but because I don’t have the room to store 15 flower vases I usually end up using bowls or stemless wineglasses to hold my bouquets. It works and fits the bill, but this weeks sponsor, Blumebox, has the BEST eco-friendly product that will keep my wine glasses and bowls available for their intended purposes! One of you will be receiving a $75 store credit to Blumebox, but your Blume Boxes won’t have to hold just flowers!

This is what Whitney, of Blumebox, had to say about their super unique product:  “Here at blumebox we love being able to help create amazing events by providing an eco-friendly container option.  Blumeboxes are cardboard vases available in 4 different sizes and 19 color options producing endless possibilities for all occasions.  We offer fabulous accessories to customize your blumebox with paper ribbons, scalloped cards, and boas.  And we have just introduced our newest product our cake pop/lollipop insert that fits into our 4” blumebox for the perfect party display for any treat on a stick.”

Check out their ideas in blume tab where you can see some really creative ways blumeboxes can be used.  From cake pedestals to brooch bouquets the ideas are so fun and innovative!

This weeks winner was Kristie Backhaus!  Congratulations!!

Stunning Gold and Silver Mimco Bridal Event by Kiss Me Kate

Can you say gorgeous?  Kiss Me Kate always has something beautiful up their sleeve!  Recently, Mimco (a high end fashion line in Australia), hired Yolanda and Kate to style a bridal event in their boutique.

Mimco launched a dedicated bridal range earlier this year and ran a promotion to “win the ultimate bridal high tea”.  The brides were to post photos of themselves and their bridesmaids and explain why they were chosen by the bride.  The winner got to experience this lovely high tea party in the store and decorate the entire bridal party in Mimco. (Sounds fabulous, right!?)

The entire event was so lovely!  Of course the styling and desserts were top notch.  I adore the gold and silver tones.  We designed the printables for the event and are so excited to share the lovely photography…

Impeccable desserts… impeccable styling.  Kiss Me Kate…. always outdoing themselves!

Most adorable cookies ever!

Gold shimmer cake pops…. almost too pretty to eat.

Stunning, stunning work Yolanda and Kate!

Romantic Valentine’s Day Printable Collection

{Team Collaboration} Presenting: Anders Ruff Custom Designs, Calligraphy by Jennifer and LMG Events

Our Romantic Valentine Printable Collection was so much fun to design as we joined forces this season with the beautiful and very talented:

Jennifer Gillespie
from Calligraphy by Jennifer

and

Mara Marian-Hardwood
from LMG Events

Jennifer sent us hand-written Valentine words in her stunning calligraphy, and we turned it into vector graphics to use on our printable designs. We just LOVED the styling of her work, and knew that incorporating her talent was just what we needed for this romantic collection.

We then teamed up with party stylist and event planner, Mara, who printed the collection and used the graphics to enhance her Romantic Valentine Wedding photoshoot.

She put such a gorgeous spin on our graphics, and the end results were breath-taking.

Wouldn’t this collection be just perfect for a bridal shower, or a night at home with your special someone? It also, can be used for family valentine’s day parties as well!

We just L-O-V-E how Mara mixed elements of old with a modern twist…
