Backyard fancies

Some of these ideas could be fun in the backyard area. I think the globes are awesome, (they were around 1 -3 dollars at pearlriver ) there are so many different lighting options I've seen out there - but what time does it get dark in August?

The good kind of grass

Grass and beautiful flowers could be really nice on the tables, it is extremely cost effective and only takes about a little over a week to grow. I'm actually growing some now.

My heart and prayers go out to those who have recently lost loved ones.

Gotta love audrey

I think that perhaps every girl may go through an audrey phase, I think that mine has lasted for a long time, in fact maybe it has never quite ended. I adore her. I was happy to see this poster on andrea's wall (my 15 yr. old cousin) - it brought a smile to my 'funny face'. I have the book: Audrey Hepburn: an elegant spirit, it is quite beautiful.

For Crystal

My dear cousin, Crystal is getting married in August. This week I am going to post some ideas and inspiration for her. Her colors are green, white, and pink. It is going to be a beautiful garden wedding. I am so happy and excited for her!!

The first image I thought incorporates the colors palette well. / The table settings - I think the balloons are hot, and the grass or moss would add pops of green / Lighting: a cool idea with the bags giving a great ambiance / I love and adore peggy porschen's stuff - check out the link. / Flowers: lots of greenery with floral I think is beautiful / Cake : beautiful detailing on fresh crisp white yummy / This idea of photos clipped I think is quite charming and fun.
