Happy Easter!!
Happy Easter Lovelies!! As promised, although a day late as my night plans changed yesterday due to late public transportation, our Easter eggs this year!
They are marbelized rubber band eggs. Just mix 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil with your dye and you have instant marblization.
Wrap a rubber band around the egg before you dye it and you get a white strip. Wrap it around after you have dyed it in say yellow and then dye it in blue and your strip stays yellow and the egg is blue. Pretty cool!
I also made castle eggs!!!
Aren’t these the cutest? It was a kit from Target. Can’t beat that for $2.50! A knight, a queen and princess and a horse at this Kingdom.
If case you missed it these first appeared on our instagram and twitter. Make sure to follow us to get the latest!
Happy Easter Everyone!

Inspiration of The Day
I am loving this pastel table today. The soft blue works so well with the khaki chairs and the soft pink place cards. I also adore this centerpiece. A few cake stands, some gorgeous nests with brightly colored eggs and some tree branches and boom you have it, a darling centerpiece.

Oh The Things you Can do with Tulips!
Oh Lovelies! Spring is really in the air here. Trees are flowering, grass is getting greener, birds are chirping and flowers are blooming, there is inspiration everywhere!

Coming in a variety of colors and styles tulips are one of the more versatile flowers out there. Whits, pastels, brights even ruffled! They have so many options. This also means there are so many different centerpiece looks you can do with it too! There are so many great ones it is hard to pick a favorite.

Loving this look for Easter. Inexpensive yet chic. The all white canvas really lends its way for the tulips to pop too! White flowers work really well here but could look even better with pink or yellow ones!

I Love this table! It is so colorful and there are so many fun elements! I love the ribbon coming off each place setting and the light blue blow with different colored decor element in each bowl. I am seriously smitten for colored glass wear lately and this burnt yellow glass ware is not exception. Then add in the bright, colorful and whimsical floral arrangements in matching light blue vases and you have me. What I love about this able is it so versatile. It is good for a plenty of themed house party, birthday, wedding, rehearsal dinner, bridal shower or even Easter!
