Interested in Pintrest?

My goodness!! Welcome back me!! Sorry everybody for the dry spell. It is way to long of an explanation but just know that I missed my blog dearly.

Part of what has just recently been taking my attention away from my desire to blog is my desire to "pin"....are you all part of pintrest?? I swear it is addicting. It gives you a way to store things you stumble upon that you like, that are inspiring...things you want to "save for later" and you can pin them to your "board".

Above is a snapshot of my pins....you can join pintrest and follow me!!

Refreshed and Lovely

{Kate spade's tumblr & pasteled}

Its been a bit quiet in our camp the past couple weeks. I just started a new job and for the past weeks Ive been straddling two jobs because while going though my last few weeks, Ive also been working and training for my new job...so that lead to loooong days.

With everything settled down and back to having "one" regular job, I can finally get back to having a life....and getting back to refreshing my blog.

Ive been wanting to refresh the blog for a couple weeks now and just open all the windows, letting all the air and light in. Weddings are definitely one of my loves...but I really want to shine the light on other things I love.

So be prepared to see a little more variety here on the blog, not just wedding related posts, but on a plethora of subjects. You'll start seeing more Interior styling and home making (I like to call "domesticating") , and fashion; my favorite style icons, outfits, online stores, and who knows what else. Why the mix up? I feel like all these aspects reflect on my personality and my style and my inspirations which intern inspire my weddings and ideas....which i hope inspire you!!

I love the above image. It is so refreshing and glamorous!!

Have a Splendid Year!!

2011 is here!

and my oh my, has the past year gone by ridiculously fast.

2010 was a seriously big year for us and I cant help but look back in gratitude of all the wonderful things that have happened and are still going on. The year was full of love, dreams, challenges, experiences and realizations

Getting married to the love of my life this year was the most fabulous thing by far. Definitely a day...in fact a month to remember. I would love to do it all over again. We were blessed with an opportunity to buy our first home and family car together....(no there is no bun in the oven just yet)

...and with the launch of Pink Peony Weddings last year to top it off!

Being able to finally settle back into our hometown area and to re-connect with old friends was such a great feeling and meeting new people and being inspired by kind and humble encounters definitely kept us in check.

With wonderful weddings of friends and clients, Pregnancy news from amazing women in our lives, and side projects that are near and dear to us in between, everything has just been grand.

It has definitely been a very fast paced year and I relish the small opportunities like this one to stop and reflect on everything.

Moving forward will only call for bigger and better "awesomeness"...not out of greed or material want, but out of our desire and calling to always strive to do our best and make ourselves better.

This will be a big year for Pink Peony Weddings, with more and more weddings in the books, and big ideas fluttering around in my head....it makes me really excited to move forward. I have a great supportive network of friends, family & mentors to thank for motivating and grounding me to keep pushing PPW upward.

Here's to a year of unfathomable greatness for all of us!

Hallo-weeen time!!

Hi Everyone!!

Well it has certainly been a while since our last update. We have been especially busy this month trying to get things set for a couple weddings and going to weddings...as guests =). In between...well...life. Its fast and fun!!

Seeing that we have another wedding this weekend, this will be a quickie post just to give you some eye candy and to let you know we haven't forgotten about you. These coming couple of months will be a great time for PPW. We have some updating and re-vamping to do....as well as some non-wedding projects that are near and dear to us as the holidays fast approach and we will definitely share them with you.

Speaking of holidays...Halloween is right around the corner and it def makes for some good themed weddings. From candied apples, to pumpkins, a popping palette using Black, orange or purple with fun patterns in between (ie: damask)...you can really dec out if your wedding is Halloween weekend/themed...and don't be fooled by the theme.....these weddings definitely don't come out Gothic looking or dead, dreary and scary (unless that's what your going for)...It's actually quite the opposite.

Stay tuned...we have another..."what we're loving now" post coming soon.

100 days

Last night at around 2:00 in the morning, daniel woke me up and said..."babe, in 100 days we're getting married!"

It feels like just yesterday when we got engaged and my-oh-my have the two years passed very quickly....It has deffinately been the greatest.

We can't wait!
