Shower for Erica

I posted a little while back about the “Gift from the Sea” wedding of my good friend Erica. Well now her fabulous “Tie the Knot” themed bridal shower has made the pages of Snippet & Ink. Her older sister Maria of Ritzy Bee planned this lovely event as well. It was so simple, yet so elegant. You found the coolest little details in the most un-expected places. The party was not the only great part, the food was amazing as well!

The Snippet & Ink blog has a great write-up on this fun event for Ms. Erica herself...here are a few photos to get your creative juices flowing.

Good Friends and a “Gift From The Sea”

This past weekend I went to my friend Erica’s wedding down in Duck, North Carolina. The wedding was beautiful and so much fun. Erica was a stunning bride and her groom just as handsome. The intimate wedding was planned by Erica’s sister, DC area event planner Maria Cooke of Ritzy Bee Events. This past Friday she shared some of the details that inspired the decor throughout the wedding. The wedding was designed around the book Gift From The Sea. Check out the rest of the post here and take a look at this gorgeous inspiration board from the Ritzy Bee Blog.

I am in love…with cookies!

I just cannot get enough of these incredibly gorgeous cookies from SweetAbms ETSY shop. She says “each cookie is baked to order and decorated by hand.”

What an amazing favor these would be...or just a gift to brighten someones day! I know my day sure would be complete with a glass of milk and one of these. Although, they’re so pretty, I may just keep them around to gawk at for a few days.

These “button” cookies are SO adorable!

And these for a tea party...

Perfect for that Sweet 16!

Pretty in Pink - With Eddie Ross

Love this table setting Eddie Ross created for a “pretty in pink” themed event. All of his design ideas just fall right into place and get me so inspired to do my own beautiful tables.

Here’s what Eddie has to say about his table setting:

“Wedding receptions, as we all know, take so much planning and preparation that often times, they can end up feeling overdone. The centerpieces are too big, the tables too cluttered. For summer weddings especially, I prefer a more understated elegance with eclectic table settings and flowers that are simple but sophisticated. Here, stacked compotes with fresh cut roses add height to the table without overpowering it. One is vintage milk glass with a pretty lace edge; the other, sterling silver with a 1914-1939 engraving, a gift celebrating twenty-five years of marriage for two others long before.”

Check out the rest of the images from this beautiful table setting and the rest of what Eddie has to say about “pretty in pink” over on the Eddie Ross Blog.

Until then, here are a few sneak peeks to get you inspired!
