A very attainable vintage detail for a wedding or dinner party is using old silverware...a mix + match assortment makes it even more charming at the table! Easy to find at just about any flea market, antique shop or even your grandmother's kitchen...

Lilacs just don't get the credit they deserve...striking in smell + color...they really are just gorgeous, aren't they?

This simple but sweet cake from Martha Stewart Weddings - wouldn't the top be a perfect anniversary cake?
Few things are as symbolic of spring as flowering trees - dogwood, cherry blossoms, magnolia. Bring those beautiful branches into your wedding decor, as centerpieces or as a dramatic way to display seating cards...

Ritzy Bee Events had so much fun planning this birthday party for our dear friend Carin's daughter, Leia, who recently turned 3. With "pretty ponies" and "happy horseshoes" as our theme for Miss Lucky Leia, we helped craft a little celebration that would keep the 3 year olds + almost 3 year old guests entertained...
The room was set-up for lots of "running around" room and the chairs + tables were specialty seating {thank you Design Cuisine!} for kids so they did not need help getting in/out of chairs. Brunch snack goodies were packed in each child's reusable lunch box so they could snack as they liked + could take home leftovers...
We set up activity stations that included coloring at the main table, "create your own puzzle", "pin the tail on the pony" and "decorate your own horseshoe or pony sugar cookie" - all were a BIG hit with the kids!
Such a fun day! Thanks to Leia for letting us be a part of her lucky day!
When you think about your wedding pictures 50 years from now it's certainly the timeless ones you will cherish best. Trends are fun...but these classic pictures will never be out of style on a coffee table...
