What Does Hip Really Mean?

What defines a hip bride?

What is a hip wedding...

and how can you have one? 

Here 3 super simple ideas to keep in mind!

#1 – Any wedding can be hip. This is a BIG country. What’s hip to a bride in CA may not be in style for bride in NY or appropriate for the bride in MO.

#2 - A hip bride has three essential beliefs: allocate money wisely, implement ideas effectively, and let personal style be your guide.

#3 -  You can have a hip wedding by not getting caught up in what you think a wedding has to be and instead letting is be what you want it to be. There are very few “rules”  that you need to follow (and most of those involve etiquette).

Happy Planning!

Lovebirds! Bridal Shower Inspiration

Today's absolutely amazing eye candy
is courtesy of Yvonne at StoneGable.

The theme is Lovebirds - perfection!

And Yvonne describes is as a

"...whimsical, vintage and organic feel.

Lots of natural elements.

A sort of Anthropology meets StoneGable."

It is one of the most delightful,

well-designed themes I have seen for a bridal shower.

Seriously it is so fantastic that I believe I stopped

my comment on the post to go to my email and

ask if I could post her idea here.

So, get ready...this is gorgeous!

Lovebirds

The decor consists of nest, twigs, sticks, moss,

and items from around the house, with shades of spring greens,

blue, aquas with accents of white and brown and fun pops of yellow.

Enjoy StoneGable's Lovebirds bridal shower!

I have nothing but love for this kind of party planning!

Love, love, love the detail of the nest in the chandelier!

 

The lunch table

 Details, details! Absolute perfection!

Even the utensils are displayed with flair!

The details are not lost in the food presentation...

notice the "salmon mousse"on the egg or

the arugula salad sitting in the nest.

Yvonne has the entire menu on her blog.

These cupcakes look almost too good to eat.

Check out Yvonne's tutorial for how to make these beauties!

A BIG thanks to Yvonne at StoneGable for letting

me share her beautiful bridal shower.
All photos in this post are courtesy of StoneGable.

Anyone have a favorite theme of a bridal shower or

wedding that they would like to share?

Happy Showers!

Q and A Time! And Last Call for the Cold Plasma Giveaway!

Wedding season is upon us!

OK, it really never ends anymore!

But before I go on...

The Perricone Cold Plasma Giveaway ends 4/28

Enter HERE!

 I first posted this back in September

{I think I hard 2 readers then}

but, I get this one particular question a lot.

So, I figured...let's revisit the mystery of the gift.

MYTH: The cost of the gift (received from the invited guest) should be equivalent to what the per-person cost of the meal is.

TRUTH: No. No. No. An invitation to a wedding is not a trade out. A guest is not expected to first of all even know what you are spending per-person, much less be forced to spend that amount on a gift. The bride or groom does not get to dictate the price range of their wedding gifts (even if they tried to do so with their registry!). Now, the expectations of gifts - money vs. actual gifts - and the "cost" of the gifts do vary from region to region, so you may need to adapt this advice to your particular area.

Happy Planning!

What does Cold Plasma do? 

Cold Plasma helps correct
10 signs of aging including:

wrinkles, enlarged pores, loss of smoothness,
impurities, uneven skin tone, discoloration,
loss of firmness, dryness, and loss of radiance.

And guess what?

It's ECO-FRIENDLY

"Free of parabens, sulfates, mineral oil, fragrance and fillers,

Cold Plasma is perfectly in sync with society’s move to be clean and green."

So, after I try this miracle in a jar...I am totally trying

some neck therapy.

An Idea to Book

I L-O-V-E bloggers and their creative ideas.

This amazing Monday,

I bring you one truly fantabulous project from

Jacqui at craftymcgee!

When I saw this, I instantly had visions of

how great this project is and the additional

creative possibilities it holds.

So check this out!

A great memory book filled with cards, memories

and well wishes from the guests...

All made out of an old BOOK!

Jacqui's idea was inspired by a wedding she

attended for a couple who loves their books.

It is a wonderful way to capture the style, personality

or theme of a couples special day.

It will look great sitting on your

coffee table or bookshelf for years!

You can read all about Jacqui's process HERE.
