Spring Wedding
I really love Springtime! The birds are chirping again and there is that sweet smell in the air. Spring events can be so wonderful to plan because SPRING calls for a fun color palette. All the beautiful pastel colors that remind me of the pretty Easter dresses and bonnets in all the store windows. These are my picks for a whimsical Spring event! All available on our website.

DIY Mini Pie Favors
I am in love with this mini pie box! What can be more charming than this box stuffed with a mini pie. If you are having a rustic wedding, keep the theme going by giving your guest a little sweet something to take home with them. Our adorable miniature pie packaging kit will give you all you need to get started. You can either purchase your mini pies at a local bakery or if your really feeling rustic-bake them yourselves. Our friends from weddingstar have given us a recipe too.
