Oh Martha! Outside of the Box Centerpieces

Weddings are your time to be creative and think outside of the box.  Centerpieces do not always have to consist of flowers in vase to make the event beautiful and romantic.  Sometimes those creative ideas are the most unique and can be a do-it-yourself project.  We love the DIY projects, because it allows for all of your creativity to flow and come up with the most magnificent, gorgeous ideas.  We often need some inspiration and Martha Stewart always has a plethora of those outside of the box ideas and items you can even take from your own home.  Fruits, vegetables, wine bottles, candles, tea cans and the list goes on!

Using fruit and veggies that are in season can add that pop of color.  With fall in the midst, think of all the luscious tomatoes, pumpkins, and even artichokes.  It is easy to use any vegetable or fruit with the right pot or vase to carry out your theme and colors. 

We love the idea of using the squash and artichokes.  Extremely unique vegetables that are surprisingly elegant and festive. 

The stars and matching candles add for a whimsical feel and give the room just the right amount of sparkle!

Martha's idea here of using paper bags was extremely unexpected, but looks unbelievably good on the tables with using the greens, blues, and whites in woodsy tones.  

Think you could plant all your flowers ahead of time.  

Oh Martha! Fall Wedding Favor Ideas

With fall air in the midst, we are starting to think of how to pull the change of weather into upcoming weddings.  Yes, Martha Stewart once again has the answers of how to use fall in all aspects of your wedding.  Favors for your guests being one of those areas.  There are so many ways to pull in the colors and the flavors of fall into your wedding favors.  From ripe pears to tea bags to homemade goods, all your guests will leave feeling happy and looking forward to fall. 

Use burlap with orange and brown coated chocolate to create a rustic fall feel. 

Fall colors can change any guest favor to fit your theme.

We feel like tea is just the beginning of fall, keeps you warm and cozy as the weather changes.

Who can say no to homemade goods?!

 

 

 

Oh Martha! Unique Bouquets

Inspiration comes from many places and we would LOVE to plan a wedding around one of these bouquets from Martha Stewart Weddings! They are fun, playful, romantic and down right beautiful. I recently had a meeting with Judy Stevenson from A Design Resource – she is a florist that knows her stuff and creates amazing designs and floral pieces. She said “Flowers are meant to bring you in and make you want to touch them. They are to evoke feelings, emotions and happiness". Amen sister!
