Kentucky Derby Bridal Party Invitations

When the Kentucky Derby and a pre-wedding bash collide...

it's a Bridal Party!

We made a run for the roses and bridled this celebration with a fun invitation.

All the classic equestrian charm of the Derby...

coupled with an elegant southern bbq...

because it's all about being with your best buds, right?

Nautical Wedding Centerpieces...to Hitch or Knot?

Some get "Hitched"....

Some Tie the "Knot"...

and some "Sea" it differently for their wedding,

and tie it with a Knot.

Regardless of what they say, 

these wedding are going to be 

Smooth Sailing....

A Gaggle of Gingham for a Bridal Bash

Dan and Abby's Michigan Wedding

will be a beautiful, upscale family picnic,

 that perfectly reflects the couples' simple elegance.

His Aunts wanted to mimic that in the bridal shower

 they are hosting, a few days before the big event...

Dan's large, jovial Irish family,

still has a hard time with his "adult name" Dan.

There are just too many crazy stories 

about him from childhood,

 for them to ever call him anything but Danny...

As Abby opens her gifts, 

they will each share their favorite story about the groom.

They will all be recorded and given to the couple as a gift...

maybe a warning for their own "little Danny" one day??

From Favor to Centerpiece?

I designed these favors for a 

Bridal Shower.

I liked them so much I decided to keep one for myself and

put it in my kitchen to enjoy. It looked so pretty...

I noticed everyday there seemed to be beans, 

on the counter, 

outside of the dish

and then....

it started to 

SPROUT!

Now maybe a 

Rosemary/Bean Sprout Centerpiece?

or Science Fair project?
