Inspirational Wednesday (Pink and Yellow Wedding Ideas)

I've been looking for different ideas for weddings. My 10 year wedding anniversary is coming up and we would like to renew our wedding vowels. We were married on February 22, 2003. It was a wonderful and full day. I loved my wedding back then and can't wait to renewal our vowels. What I loved the most of all  it was my FLOWERS!!! I told my mom when we were starting to plan it that I had wanted different flowers.  Back then I really didn't see a lot of people having different flowers on their bouquet. I didn't want a regular bouquet, nothing against regular bouquets, but at the time I wanted to be different.

Our colors were burgundy with a sheer gold. We had a array of different color flowers. We had yellow and burnt orange tulips, white hydrangea, snapdragon, gardenia, calla lilies, and pink lilies.

Here is a picture of my wedding day.

I think for our 10 year anniversary we are going for a small wedding. I'm think of  having the wedding and reception on a beach, with the color scheme of pink and yellow. Not sure if a bright pink or different shades of pink and sunny yellow. Hhhhmmm love it, I started to google and found some beautiful weddings. Here are some inspirational pictures.

This looks so tropical and love the umbrellas. The plumeria flowers is beautiful. I have a tree in my backyard and just  love it. I originally wanted the run way to have flowers, but most churches don't like the idea of the flowers on the run way.

So after seeing these images it so makes me want to have them this time around.

This set alone would be beautiful on the beach around sunset. Can you picture it now? Wow just love the image.

I saw this and started to think of the reception if to have a tent or no tent. Oh a trellise on the beach. I would have to win the lotto first. I do like the idea of the hanging flower balls at different levels and the different pom poms and pomettes. I also like the color scheme of the different shades of pink and sunny yellow. Making it look like a garden wedding and or fairy party. It's a pretty party no?

Can't find the original person for this image, but I love it and it makes me smile. (wink) I have found this image on so many blogs it's not even funny. I can see why the idea is wonderful and the color combo is fantastic. It's so summer and tropical looking.

Hope you have a great day!

Inspirational Wednesday {Alice in Wonderland}

I've been looking at Alice in Wonderland themes now for a little over a year. I have been saving pictures for a while now and I'm sharing with you some of my most favorites. The details that one can really put in is just outrageous. This them can be in bright colors or pastels and still look vibrate.

These chairs are just beautiful. I love the colors and the deets with rhinestones and glitter. If my daughter would see this and automatically yell PRETTY!!!!!

Do you see these colors how the stand out? Mixing the brights are just wonderful and the flowers are a classic touch.

By far this was the best part. I love the carousel horse. I use to have one as kid and LOVED it!

Do you see what I mean with the color scheme. Brights or Pastels this theme still just looks gorgeous. I'm a huge tea party person. I also love to collect Tea Cups. Do you see the designs in these? Just look at the cake. Classic and Elegant.

Hope you have a Wonderland Wednesday.

Mother's Day

This Mother's Day was just fantastic. I started my day with breakfast being made by my hubby and son. While the two of my favorite men cooked, my daughter and I opened my Mother's Day cards. Which I loved because they were handmade. (BIG SMILE)

 My son and hubby have a tradition every 1st Saturday of the month Home Depot and Lowes have a kids workshop.  Well this Saturday landed the day before Mother's Day and they dedicated it making a projects just for mommies. As you all know I love flowers and Albert (my son) made me a Tulip flower pot holder. It's adorable. Now it will be a project between him and I to paint.

Isn't it just darling? Can't wait to paint it with him. 

My daughter made me card, which mind you it was her version of what a card should be. She's only 2 and very much alive. The card that my daughter had made ended up in the garbage. She is a LOT like me. I'm always picking up, throwing things away, or putting everything away. Major OCD. The only way I  realized it, was when I went to pick up the table from breakfast. (Sad face) it's ok at least I saw it and enjoyed.

We decided to celebrate differently this year. I normally have a gathering at my house, but this year we went to visit everyone.

We went to my sister-in-laws house we took pictures of the kids and all the mommies with their kiddies. We had fun talking and enjoying appetizers while the kiddies we playing the room.

Then we went to my momma house. This year we celebrated it differently. My mom has been researching our Family Tree for some time now it has been a slow process that is still in the making as it is very time consuming and time is so precious these days that it makes it an even longer process.

So, this year we wanted to do something different we wanted to pay tribute to the Mom’s in our family the PAST ones some of which we had the pleasure of having had them in our lives and some of which through research although not with us have played a part of who we are today and the PRESENT ones that we are lucky enough to still have in our lives that have shaped our family tree.

Unfortunately my mommy and I didn't take any pictures. On the up side I had a wonderful time and my daddy made a killer meal.

Our small dessert table.

The name tags of all the fabulous women that we were so blessed to have old and new. In our family tree we also included my in laws side of the family as they are part of our family now. These tags are handmade and hand stamped.

Our Family Tree

 

Here are some of our yummy dessert and the plants that were bought for each of the mommies.

 

I hope that all Moms had a wonderful day .

A Night in Paris

READY!

Bienvenue à Paris

I'm so excited and in LOVE with my pictures. I was ecstatic with how everything turned out and how much of a blast I had. I haven't celebrated my birthday like this since my 25th birthday and now I turn 32. Time flies when you're having fun. I wanted this year to be one that I remember for a long time. This night did make one of those "A Night to Remember"

The top picture was the entrance table. Paris to me is all about lights, flowers, feathers, chic, diamonds and pearls. Of course killer shoes! Besides hydrangea tulips are also a favorite of mine.  

I had all my family and friends sign a frame for me. Which I love and now it's hang in my Scraproom.

This all took place in my backyard. I use my kids swing set as props. When we had planned this I had a vision of having everyone one walking in and feel like they were in fact in Paris. Just in a complete different era. When you walked in the fence was light up there was lights in the air like stars and flowers everywhere. The Eiffel Tower was one of my favorite. My hubby being who he is found a way to light it up for me.

Plenty of flowers like hydrangea, tulips, lilies, and baby's breath. I wanted FLOWERS!!!! This box was made with a regular box and covered in scrapbook paper. Do you see this adorable Pink Poodle? You'll see her throughout my party. When looking for Parisian images I bumped into one of my favorite vendors. She's actually here in Miami, FL and I'm sure all of you are familiar with her beautiful art work. Linnette from Paper Glitter. Have you passed by her page? I love all of her designs and just fell in love with the poodle when I saw it.

More Flowers!!!!

The items where bought at Home Goods. Each table had one of these fabulous candelabras. They gave the tables the touch that I had wanted. I even bought 2 different cake stands with the same design. Just in love with them.

This idea I had got no other than Genevieve from Celebration TODAY... The superchick way! Her posts always make me laugh and smile. Never mind her design. I had first seen Genevieve on Children's Party Network when she had done the cones out of cereal boxes. What I thought it was Da bomb! Thank you for inspiring me!

The food where catered by a French Bakery Delices-France and Publix. The marshmallow pops where done us. The Chocolate covered Oreos where done by Kim from Sweeties by Kim. I found her on Etsy and boy I'm glad I did. Isn't she talented? The designs and TASTE were absolutely fantastic. I also met another talented lady Sara from Dandy Delights she made the Eiffel Tower. I was approached by Sara through Children's party Network about my penguin cupcake toppers. I'm so happy she did, aren't the Eiffel Towers beautiful? They also were fantastic. I was introduced to these cake balls last year. Milly from SweetSational. She's also here in Miami. When you have one you can't stop.

Well I have been bragging about my cake lady being Cecilia Borges now you get to meet her and me. As always my cake was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. All the little lines you see it was done by hand. My poor Ceci, but it came out amazing! She has ideas for cakes that go perfect for your theme. THANK YOU!

This is me and my mom. Isn't she just beautiful? I have a lot of special people in my world and she's one of them. My very first fan that I ever had since I was born is my mom. I cannot express enough how LUCKY I am to have her as a mother. She is my mom, my best friend, and my world. We laugh, act silly, and have outrageous ideas. She helps my ideas come alive. I love you mom.

I want to say I love you all. Thank you for coming and celebrating my 30's like if I was sixteen again.

A special thank you to my hubby and daddy for helping us in all of our loonieness. Last but not least

I wanted to introduce to you my make up lady. I wish I looked like this every day, but I don't. Cindy Sellati she's the one that made me look beautiful on this special night.

I hope you all enjoyed the photographs. They were taken by Photography by Santy Martinez who is a wonderful photographer. I love the pictures and highly recommend him. You will not be disappointed in his images. You can visit his Blog to see all of his beautiful work.

Thank you to all the vendors.
