ride your bike to wedding day

Happy Wedding Wednesday!

Even though I drove my car to work today the air conditioning on full blast, today is Bike to Work Day in Denver! I give all of you props who rode your bike to work today in this 90 degrees weather… I definitely decided to pass up that opportunity 🙂

And so today, I was inspired to see how bikes can be used as accessories at weddings. These photos are just too fun!

spritz the bowl before you go … and no one else will ever know!

Poo~Pouri.

Yes, it involves going number two. Yes, it’s hilarious. And yes, it totally works.

This could quite possibly be the best invention ever. How it works: spray the toilet water before you go “number two” and you can’t even smell it after you flush! Poo~Pouri totally takes away the embarrassment from going number two in any public or private bathroom because it covers up the smelly evidence with a yummy scent! Totally genius.

These little 4 oz bottles of Deja Poo, Royal Flush, No. 2, Loo~Pouri and Poo~Pouri are a bathroom necessity in your home. After all, don’t you want people to feel comfortable enough in your home to go number two?

And, they are the perfect gift for your hubby or dad for Father’s Day. I recommend Royal Flush for the men, it smells like cologne… yummy!

A scented toilet paper and Poo~Pouri gift set is the perfect gift for that special someone who desperately needs it 🙂

 

You can get Poo~Pouri at Fleur de Lis.

You can thank us later …

very pretty in pink

Today is the beginning of Wedding Wednesdays!

To kick it off, I want to share this beautiful wedding color palette for all you engaged (or soon-to-be engaged) ladies out there.

I am getting married in just a few months and these elegant wedding photos (almost) made me want to switch up my colors! Only one problem: My fiance definitely isn’t one to approve of a pink wedding…Let’s just say that if I were doing a pink wedding, I would go with this look. Definitely.

Light pink, ivory, taupe and splashes of peach, lavender and other organic tones. These colors make a lovely color palette for a wedding. They are so soft and romantic. I am so in love with this look.

Happy Wedding Wednesday! Until next week …

cheers to wine barrels

I am so into this new trend with wine barrels. Actually, I’m kind of obsessed. It seems like most elegant, rustic, vineyard, casual or nature-themed weddings have wine barrels incorporated in the decor.

For your wedding, you can use them any way you want! Use them for: your cake table, your guest book table, your wedding aisle entrance or in place of table “legs”. Or, just put flowers on them to make a beautiful statement. Voila! Stunning decor for your wedding!

grad par-tay

Are you graduating in a few weeks? If you are, (and are throwing a party to celebrate), check out these fun decor ideas to make your grad party one to remember.

I was browsing on The Party Dress and found these cute graduation cap pops by Bakerella. So simple yet creative.

grad pops

You’ll need: Airheads Extremes Rainbow Berry Sweetly Sour Belts, mini Reese’s peanut butter cups, lollipop sticks, a styrofoam block and Godiva chocolate squares. Visit Bakerella for “how-to” instructions.

I recently graduated from college and my parents threw me a fantastic grad party at Crimson & Gold Tavern. My invitations and thank-you notes were totally fabulous, thanks to Bonnie Marcus (available at Fleur de Lis). How cute and chic is the girl on this invite? I had to have her on my invitations and thank-you notes!

We decided to carry the image from the stationery  throughout the decor. This fashionista grad was the center of the decor at the party:

Just go to Kinko’s and enlarge whatever image you like, attach it to a colored-poster board and hang it on the wall!

We had yummy cupcakes from Intricate Icings and added a little something special on top – cupcake toppers! A fun, easy way to decorate your deserts. All you need are crazy-scissors, double-sided tape, a hot glue gun and a lollipop stick! And yes, we had the grad image on the toppers, duh!

Wondering what to gift to give a grad? Oh, the Places You’ll Go! is a cute little something that is perfectly fitting for a recent grad. My niece and nehphew gave me a copy when I graduated – I loved it! Pair it with money or a gift card 🙂
