    There is a floral blog, but I can't remember the name of it. Everything looks lovely, Mrs. DIY. Have a great week.

    I agree with Lavendar and Lillies, orchids are a lovely and sophisticated option for an older couple. Also, they can keep them or share with their children. Nice momento of the special day. How many people will attend? What is the budget for centerpieces? Is the affair in the day or at night? Votives always look gorgeous when grouped in large numbers (inexpenisve at Ikea)…I have lots of ideas!

    what a lovely guest room! I am loving succulents lately for center pieces—but that's not quite the orange you're hoping for! I'm so excited to find your blog—I feel like I'm trying to get my foot in the design door too—degree in anthropology and NOW figure out what to do with my life…such is life right?? Anyway congrats on your BEAUTIFUL blog. Excited to see what you come up with day in and day out!

  11. High-Heeled Foot in the door says:

    Thanks for all of your ideas.

    Just finished cropping all of the menus. Had a teeny snag when I found a typo and needed to re-print!

    We are going to be having 65 guests and I think it will be 8 tables.

    Trying to figure out what I'm going to put the flowers in. I was going to use my milk glass collection, but my mom is afraid people will walk out of them at the end of party. I don't think Jon would mind that, but I totally would.

    I will keep you all posted.

    I'm a sucker from Hydrangeas in white….always a classic

  13. kayce hughes says:

    It could be fun to do the turquoise paint inside some thrift store glass vases and fill them with different yellow flowers.

  14. shari @ little blue deer says:

    I really love this! My wedding colors were light blue and yellow, and it was so cheerful, I was really glad I went with it. My one bridesmaid wore brown satin, it all ended up matching perfectly!

  15. Anonymous says:

    I noticed people are using paper pinwheels as centerpieces. Saw it on the following website (August 27th post):http://andersruff.blogspot.com/

    With your color combination you probably can come up with some interesting ideas with paper.

    Good Luck!

  16. LindsB says:

    send all those good centerpiece ideas this way! My blue and orange wedding needs all the good ideas it can get 🙂

    LOVE those menus, very cute!

  17. diane@onlinefabricstore says:

    Centerpieces are so important. I would purchase inexpensive clear vases and with etching cream create a monogram in the center. Either etch the whole vase so the monogram is clear or etch the mnogram. Use mums and bright yellow gerberas to keep with the color scheme. Or etch your parents and use a different design on the others so someone at the table can take them home as a party favor.

    how about candles with an unusual vase filler such as small multi colored chili peppers (depending on the theme)colorful glass chunks from the crafts store, pretty river rock etc. Tie a big bow around the bottom of the hurricane and you have a lovely centerpiece.

    congratulations to your parents.

    If you want to go with something other than – or in addition to – flowers, I love this idea from Martha:

    http://www.marthastewart.com/photogallery/60-outdoor-party-ideas#slide_16

    We did something similar at our family reunion but actually put the vellum on larger square glass vases and eliminated the frames altogether. They turned out beautifully and seem like an appropriate way to celebrate your parents' lives together.

  19. A Few of My Favorite Things says:

    And what did I just stumble upon but a fabulous yellow centerpiece made out of all things, yellow Jello! Sounds heinous but it's actually quite pretty.

  20. Hello Lover... says:

    Love the colors and the menus are adorable. What about just getting some simple glass vases from a craft store and wrapping them with either ribbon or pretty fabrics and filling them with flowers of your choice – great way to add some color!

ON THE BLOG

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.

Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.

On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.

In our new home, the basement was completely unfinished. It was literally one of those dark spaces that you see in horror movies and are terrified of getting locked into. However, with the square footage in this house, I knew I needed to make the basement another workable and liveable floor of the house instead […]

Picking out paint colors for a new home can be overwhelming. I find that many times when I meet with a new client the entire house is simply just painted white or a light gray. Now, I think there is a time and place for those colors, but with paint, there is just so much […]

When it comes to kitchen renovations everyone knows that the cabinetry and the labor of demoing and installing cabinetry is going to eat a lot of your budget.

I don’t think I’m alone in thinking that designing a kitchen is an overwhelming undertaking. I’m an interior designer and even I find it stressful to iron out all of those details. So, when it comes time to design a kitchen I always like to partner with a kitchen designer to make sure I’m remembering […]
