Malu Boutiques Make Over

Wow it has been way........ to long. Life decided to take a few curve balls. Lots has changed in the last 2 and 1/2 years that we have been silent. Life is much different for me and in all of the craziness of something we call life I had another baby girl. Now momma of 3.

Now that we have been silent for so long we decided to redo our logo and have a relaunch of our company. Our Logo was redone by Silvia Wren Designs. Extremely happy with our NEW look. (EEK!) 

With re-branding our-self we decided to redo the website, our Etsy store, blog, and so forth. Here is what (WE) will look like little by little. Super excited!

 

Hopefully now we can start little by little doing our tutorials, inspirational Wednesdays, and catching up on blog post that we should of shared with you all a while ago. Oh and I can't wait to share with you all where we have been featured!

Stay tune for our follow up blog post. It will be a tutorial on learning how to do these 

Little Cupcake Platters.

 

Till then you can follow us on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, and Instagram.

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!

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.
