Feature Dessert Table from Little Lovely
I’m wrapping up my vacation and am really thankful for lots of quality time with my family and rest! While poring through emails, I found an email from Khali of Little Lovely from Australia. She created a roaring prehistoric dinosaur party for her 2 year old son Hunter. I love the bunting on the cake, the dinosaur feet, dinosaur cupcake toppers, and egg straws. Khali did everything herself and even used simple balloons as the…

Brooch Bouquets
Amanda Heer of Fantasy Floral Designs sent me these brooch bouquets and I nearly fell off my chair. Apparently, these beautiful brooch bouquets made their way around the blogosphere and somehow I missed it! How beautiful would these be for a vintage style wedding? It is also a great way to incorporate a family heirloom (something old or something borrowed) into your bouquet. Amanda has even made an all blue (for something blue) brooch bouquet.…
