Lately I have been very drawn to greens being used in entertaining and weddings. I think that it feels so fresh. When I was researching greens to use for the garland at the Irish Rehearsal dinner I helped design, I found one in particular that I kind of feel in love with…the eucalyptus. Eucalyptus has has an interesting scent that when I saw this cocktail, I thought that may just be super refreshing. A little different with the use of egg whites and the need to make simple syrup with eucalyptus leaves. But certainly perfect for inspiring a lovely little wedding.

Un Beau JourWednesday, April 17, 2013
As of late, I have grown a little tired of wedding blogs. Don’t get me wrong, they are all still so beautiful, but sometimes I feel like they all start to look the same after awhile. Jordan mentioned the French wedding blog Un Beau Jour last week (I think translated as One Day), and it is quickly becoming one of my favorite new sources of inspiration. It is filled with lovely photography and DIYs that really feel fresh. Also, the fact that it is in french doesn’t hurt. I think everything would probably be better in french. Did I tell you guys that I am trying to learn the language for our trip? So far I am really good at saying “good morning” and “I would like a coffee with cream.” Gotta have priorities.
Love these “retro” photos.
I think I will do this flower headpiece DIY and then just wear it around the house so I can feel lovely.

Game of Thrones Wedding InspirationWednesday, March 27, 2013
I am quite giddy because the new Game of Thrones season starts this Sunday and it is my most favorite show on TV right now. In my opinion, the best character (other than Tyrion and Arya obviously) is Daenerys. She is one bad mother and doesn’t care who knows it. If I have it my way, this season will spend lots of time with her and her dragons beating the tar out of the rest of the kingdoms. Maybe then she will be queen and become quick friends with Tyrion and they can rule the world together. Yes? Although she has other things than silly boys on her mind right now, I decided to take it upon myself to gather some wedding inspiration for her to use once she has the world ruled and such. Maybe for her wedding to a particular exiled knight?

An Irish Rehearsal DinnerWednesday, March 13, 2013
One of my best friends is getting married this weekend and his mother asked me to help her plan the rehearsal dinner. The fact that the wedding takes place on the weekend of St. Patrick’s Day is not an accident. These people are very Irish and St. Patrick’s Day is pretty much the groom’s favorite holiday. Since we wanted the rehearsal dinner to fit in with the weekend, we decided to give it an Irish theme as well. I made a mood board to show her some of my ideas and I thought (since I am very sure no one that will be at this wedding reads our blog so I won’t be ruining any surprises) that I would share it with y’all too. All of these details will not necessarily be included but this is the feel that I was going for.
Dear Suz and Cait, If you read this, please do not share on facebook. :) Please and thank you!
