3. We’re big pizza fans in my house, so I will be giving this light bbq chicken pizza a try one night this week, yumm!!

4. Incredibly, charming feminine office! I love the blush pink overflowing curtains. The classic, crisp white along with the blush accents and herringbone floor, makes for a glamorous office space!

More Ivory – – Flowers!!

As expressed in many of my past posts’, I am crazy about fresh flowers! They make me smile when I walk in a room, the smell is so refreshing and they are beautiful to look at 🙂

Ivory flowers exalt a classic, rich look. Cabbage roses, peonies, tulips… I can’t wait for Spring!! If you plan on using ivory flowers for your wedding, your options are plenty! Pairing beautifully with many colors, opt for a full bloom. A flower with a full bloom can give you the option of using less, if you are willing to spend a little more for your floral budget. If that is the case, you end up with a higher quality flower. If not, don’t worry, you will be pleasantly surprised and your many options!

Take a look at these gorgeous arrangements…

I can’t explain just how much I love fresh flowers! I’m really looking forward to Spring, and all of the beautiful flowers that entail! If pink is one of your wedding colors, you have many, many options to choose from. Roses, peonies, tulips, ranunculus, hydrangeas, calla lilies, and dahlias are some of your most popular options. Each flower beautiful in it’s own way!

It always makes me smile when I walk into a room and see fresh flowers! I love dressing up my kitchen table or kitchen island, with a ravishing display. Take a look at these beautiful options for you!

Shades of pink!

Tons of tulips 🙂

Gorgeous peonies!

Incredible options to choose from when it comes to blush florals! Peonies, garden roses, hydrangea and cabbage roses are just a select few of your many, gorgeous, options! The flowers I just mentioned are great because they are very full when in bloom. These flowers, though, will cost a little bit more than your average flower, but I think they are well worth it! For my daughters birthday in May, I am going to have stems of Creamy Blush Peony Roses, to die for!! Take a look at these breathtaking bouquets…..

Example of the blush peony roses!

Beautiful mixture.. The round flower is a cabbage rose!

Beautiful for Spring…

Peacock Wedding Theme!!

Right now I am totally into Peacock anything! I really love Navy this season, and of course glamor!! How amazing would it be to have a Peacock inspired wedding? Totally incredible.. Navy, hunter green, ivory and gold. Check out some of these fabulous ideas I found on Pinterest!

For the bouquet, choose something subtle but breathtaking…

I love the look the peonies in the right and left picture, crazy beautiful! The color is soft and bright, yet full and bold! If you want to do something a little more vibrant and theme inspired, go for the picture in the middle, peacock feathers and calla lilies, wrapped with navy fabric and rhinestone studs would look perfect!

Choosing the right dress for you is key to fit in with the rest of your wedding theme. Opt for something that is fitted for the top half and puffy designed for the bottom. I really love the dress on the bottom left for this theme. Paired with the peonies bouquet from above, would be sure to take every guests’ breath away!

Truth is, one of the things your guests are looking forward to the most, or most opinionated on is the food, aka, the cake! Recommendations for a baker is pertinent. Come up with a shape you prefer, round is my preference, and perfect for the Peacock theme! Be sure to know a round- about head count before ordering your cake, keeping in mind you will be keeping the top tier to freeze for your first anniversary!
