Stinkerpants

Wow.

A few months ago, Mr. Stinkerpants and I did a tasting with Global Gourmet, a caterer we were considering. They invited us to see the Green Room set up for a wedding. It. was. breathtaking. I tried to take a couple of pictures with my cell phone, but I totally couldn’t capture it. Raquel, the woman at Global Gourmet, said she’d send us pictures of the event–but she never came through. Thanks to Lisa of BV Weddings, we now have the pictures! It’s even more beautiful than I remembered. Check out these photos, courtesy of Lisa + James Photography. I really wish we could afford to do something like this!

Check out that lighting! And the foliage! And the candles! And the chivari chairs! And the mixture of square and round tables! And the pipe and draping! Just don’t expect my wedding to look like that.

Signature Cocktails

I love the idea of signature cocktails at weddings.  It’s a fun way to offer hard alcohol, but not have to pay for a full bar.  I love these bright colors!

Unfortunately I downloaded these pictures without also grabbing the info of whom to credit!  I’m sorry!  Comment here if you know where they came from.

Succulent Centerpieces

I fell in love with these centerpieces, which I saw here on Faye and Greer’s weblog. I think they’re modern, cool and have the added benefit of being relatively inexpensive.

Sadly, Mr. Stinkerpants shot me down. He said he hates them because they “remind him of the southwest.” I totally disagree, but he hasn’t been very opinionated about anything so far, so I guess I’ll let this one go. Oh, well. Maybe someone else can use it. :)

Or maybe I’ll use them to decorate our house.  ;)

More with the Centerpieces

Like I’ve said before, I really like the idea of live centerpieces. So when I saw this on Martha Stewart’s website, I thought it was awesome! It looks like it would be pretty simple, too:

Boutonniere Ribbon

How cute is this polka dot ribbon for a boutonniere?!  Why not add a little fun in unexpected places?
