Umm, where is the "like" button for these bachelorette party cookies???

And speaking of facebook, are you a fan yet?

Just a little something...

Andrea and I were at Michaels craft store a couple weeks ago looking for wedding goodies and we stumbled across this really cute grey and yellow invitation kit. Now I know the grey and yellow color palate isn't new - but it still thrills me. I seriously love it. So, here is some beautiful grey and yellow inspiration to brighten up your Tuesday!

I hope you're not hungry...

... but if you are, I'm sorry. This post will only make things worse.

My favorite catering trend at the moment is the Midnight Snack - passing around comfort foods late at night, after your guests have had a long evening of dancing and drinking. It just makes so much sense and will definitely keep your party lasting all through the night!

So feast your eyes on these delicious midnight snackers -

Chips and Guacamole + Chicken Strips and BBQ sauce

Grilled Cheese Sandwiches with Tomato Soup

Cheeseburger Sliders

Fries and Ketchup served in shot glasses

Milk and Cookies in personalized shot glasses

Mini Chocolate Milkshakes

Oh, and promise me you will invite me to your wedding if you decide to have a midnight snack!

beautiful purple flowers and a love note

Okay be honest...am I the last one to discover these?

Sofia blanc de blanc sparkling wine (champage) ... in a soda can.  Made by Niebaum-Coppola Winery, packaged in individual-serving cans, with their own straws, and sold in four-packs.

a) the color of the can alone makes me want to buy them and b) They are stylish and super affordable!

Sofia blanc de blancs, you are the greatest.

Black and White Inspiration

Hey lovely readers, I'm busy busy busy this week with painting (my entire new apartment) and moving, so just a little B & W inspiration today .... its always been one of my favorite wedding color combinations!  

The great thing about black and white is that it can be classic and traditional -  or edgey and modern.

Or, add a splash of another color - like pink, red, green, or yellow!

So, as they say in German - until soon lovely readers!

Etsy Crush

So, ah thank you Lollipop Workshop for being so wonderful and oh so drool worthy!

A perfect green vineyard wedding

Hey everyone! Sorry I'm late today - I'm moving! And just started working full time again!

Also, big news- one of our favorite photographers Andria officially LAUNCHED today,
so definitely head over there and show her some love!

Anyways, on to the Monday post!

Every once in awhile, I am reminded of just how much I love the color green. And weddings in vineyards. And all white bridal bouquets!

I would be perfectly happy if my wedding  looked just like this one :-)

Cait's First Birthday Party

I haven't featured a cute birthday party in awhile (its wedding season!) but I couldn't resist this one. Cait's first birthday party by her Mom (Fig & Ruby) with its pink and brown giraffe theme, is simply too cute for words!

How cute is this birthday girl?!

The pink and brown giraffe theme!

Here is what Colleen said - "Every month of Cait's life, on her "day", I have taken a photo of her in a diaper sitting next to this hippo. I strung those 12 photos up along a ribbon."

What a cute idea!

Also from Mom Colleen - "The mantel. I used my fun fabric to hide the TV. Those letters are foam, They came in those colors and I got them at the dollar store! I heart my teeny flag bunting. So sweet! It's going in Cait's room when i get around to it."

What a perfect party hat!

And my favorite part? This dessert table!

Oh my stars!!

So gorgeous Fig & Ruby!
