Be My Bridesmaid? {Creativity + Fresh Ideas}

Brides, are you in need of a little creativity or ideas on how to ask your gals to be with you on your wedding day?  We have found and put together a few we think your ladies will love!  There is an idea for everyone! Whether you are a crafty bride, or a bride with a sweet tooth, there are several ways to show your girls you need them on your big day!  


Roses are red, violets are blue, will you be my bridesmaid? Please say "I do!"  


Be My Maid?  Create a hand crafted box and present it to your girlfriends filled with pictures and essential 'bridesmaid roles.'  You could include color swatches of the big day, a fabric sample of  the dress you have in mind, specific wedding information including the venue and time, and of course a thoughtful + personal message to your girls!    
Bridesmaid cut outs We love how cute this idea is!  Time to get the scissors out and doodle, dress up, or bedazzle those little cut outs!  Label them with each bridesmaid's name so they all know who will join them in the bridal party!  


Mason jar cake recipe  This idea is perfect for those friends of your with a little sweet tooth, or possibly someone who loves to bake!  You could include a cake in a jar recipe and a spoon!  Look for creative mason jar recipes on Pinterest!  

Bridesmaid joke card  If you decide to keep things light, and playful have fun with the idea of throwing a joke into the mix!  Who doesn't love a good laugh?

A bottle of bubbly  Now we all know that wedding's have the champagne flowing!  Why wait until the reception for the first toast? Ask your gals to be sipping by your side now, and at the wedding!
A pretty handmade card  This idea is so great for those crafty brides and bridesmaids who are sure to appreciate your hard work!  This diy card is pretty & elegant and most of all, thoughtful and made with love!  
A personal note You can't go wrong with a message that is straight to the point.  "I found a man, but I still need my girls!" Don't let your ladies feel left out of this exciting new adventure you are planning, include them in the big day! The more the merrier!

Pinterest Love: {Burlap inspired Wedding}

So this week, my latest obsession has been all about BURLAP!  Surprise, surprise we have been seeing burlap used much more frequently these last few months with the Holidays coming to an end.  From burlap table runners, and aisle runners, to burlap bunting, burlap wrapped mason jars, burlap wrapped bouquets, and burlap reupholstered chairs... it is a burlap frenzy out there and we are absolutely LOVING it!  This material is so versatile and could basically be used with anything and everything!  We think a rustic burlap- inspired Wedding is in store and we are here to show you how it can all be executed and created beautifully!

We provided the vintage rentals for Erin + Jason's wedding and here are some of our favorite photos...

{A Rustic Holiday}

We just received the best gift ever... the pictures are here from our Holiday celebration we designed + styled along with Siegel Thurston Photography and we are beyond thrilled with how they turned out!  Our table scape design featured rustic wooden chairs paired with a neutral table linen, twine wrapped red napkins with gold bells, burlap wrapped mason jars, silver flatware, and white dinnerware.  We also included a slight touch of greenery by using pine tree branches at each place setting.  The main focus of our Holiday table was to create texture with the yarn wrapped bottles we previously blogged about!  We love this trend and will continue to use it through out the new year...imagine the ideas we will come up with next!  The DIY gold glittered pine cones were easy to create and filled the table with a Holiday sparkle we all love!  Once the drinks were poured, the candles lit, and the appetizers served we were ready to enjoy the Holiday season and the end of 2011 with great friends and fun memories!  

Here's to a Happy Holiday and a healthy New Year! 







































Huge thank you to Brett & Liz of Siegel Thurston Photography!  The pictures are so amazing and we had such a great night celebrating!  


Happy Holidays & Well Wishes,
Erin + Ashley
