Treasury Time: Song of the Sea
Saturday, March 2, 2013
A wedding inspired by sailors' ocean wanderings and mermaid's watery realms, featuring rustic driftwood, tide-worn pebbles, and pearly seashells. As a pisces I'm really drawn to this :) A color scheme that includes oyster grey and pale green-blue works well here, with nautical details that include a very unique sailing ships cake topper (By Madeline Trait) and a knotted rope boutonniere for the groom (Sea and Cake).
Treasury Time: Celebrate Africa!
Monday, January 21, 2013
We often hold African-themed parties when we get nostalgic for home. Want to throw your own? Here are a few ideas that add an African vibe to any occasion.
Take a look at the collection below and the photos in the previous post for more African inspiration :)
- For colors, think neutral and natural as in linen, taupe, and khaki, then add animal prints and pops of bold hues
- Set the scene with vintage style safari photos in rustic wood frames, a pair of vintage binoculars, woven baskets, and carved wooden animals.
- Patterned African fabrics make great tablecloths - or decorate your walls with a fun wax print bunting like the one below.
- For flowers, proteas and strelitzia (also known as bird of paradise) are indigenous to South Africa. Aloes and other succulents are too, so a grouping of these in pots or vessels of different sizes also make nice centerpieces.
- For a wedding, I think bridesmaids would look amazing wearing a single piece of African inspired jewelry (I seriously adore the color-blocked bib necklace by The Glossy Queen)
- Don't forget to put on some African music to get everyone on their feet - filled with happy energy and the rhythm of the drums, it's the spirit of Africa! Try African Party by Putumayo Records.

Treasury Time: French Country Wedding
Wednesday, January 9, 2013
A chateau chic collection inspired by a wedding in the French countryside (Provence, perhaps?), in romantic white with lots of lace. I love the rustic skeleton key seating chart from Airth & Olson, and the farm house jam favors in Blackberry Merlot by Sweet Caroline Jams. Flowers freshly picked from the field and loosely arranged in mason jars, and a simple bouquet for the bride, would be just perfect here. And a fragrant lavender toss is such a memorable way to send off the happy couple, non?
