{Tea Party for Zoe}

I wasn’t able to attend the tea party/ bridal shower I planned for my little sister Zoe in New York, but the pictures turned out great thanks to her photographer friend Soowan! They had yummy scones, tea, finger sandwiches, petit fours and homemade icecream at Sweet Melissa Patisserie. They played games where Zoe’s mouth was filled with marshmallows (for the answers she got wrong about her fiance) and they had a live Project Runway show where one of the bridesmaids showcased a wedding dress made of toilet paper that looked almost good enough for the runway! I heard it was a perfect day, so what better feedback can I ask for :)

Thank you Sweet Melissa Patisserie for the food and the great service! Thank you Saipua for the beautiful flower arrangement! Thank you everyone for attending and showing Zoe a great time! And a special thanks to Soowan for taking the awesome pictures! 11 more days until the big day!!

We already know some sellers on Etsy are geniuses, but this one is like wow! Such a fantastic idea. Simple but wonderful. Makes you want to create a rainbow colored wedding showered with confetti *sigh* Go Kristine Marie!! (so naturally, she was featured in Martha Stewart Weddings)

{Strawberry Cake}

I’ve always had a thing for strawberry prints and designs. Not sure why hehe but they’re just so cute! Everytime I go shopping for plates or bowls or any type of flatware, and I see something that has strawberries on it, I run over. There’s a strawberry plate I SO regret not buying when we were in Japan… Not only do I like strawberry prints, I also love strawberry flavored things, especially strawberry cake! It’s got to be one of my favorite cake flavors. And who said wedding cakes have to be made of flowers or swirls, strawberries are pretty cute too! Look at this one!

{DIY Vintage Postcard Save-the-Date}

It can’t get any simpler than this! And simple can be pretty cool. This is why I love rubber stamps, they make life so much easier. And this idea can be replicated onto any of the wedding details! Thanks Ruffled!

{Garden Tea Party}

My little sister is having her bridal shower tomorrow in NYC. We picked Sweet Melissa Patisserie in Brooklyn, NY for her tea party because it has a garden, and I was told it’s in a really nice neighborhood in Brooklyn. Unfortunately I’m unable to attend the tea party, and due to distance and time restraints, it was very simply planned. But in honor of my favorite little sister in the world, I’m posting pictures from a cute DIY tea party. This would have been similar to what I would’ve liked to do. Even though her bridal shower won’t be as elaborate, I’m sure she’ll have a wonderful time! I’m most excited about giving her an arrangement from Saipua, one of my absolute favorite flower places!

Happy shower sis! Sorry I can’t be there. Can’t wait to see you next week!!

{Tying The Knot}

I’ve always liked rings that had thin delicate bands, and this sweet ring is creative and simple at the same time.

{Lace & Petals}

I’m loving the table runner detail and the big sugar petal cake at Brian & Joanna’s wedding posted on 100 Layer Cake. A little bit of vintage and a lot of elegant. See the rest of the wedding here
