Welcome to my blog!

This is my blog to created to share my decorating ideas. I'm no expert, so some creations may be my amateur version of experts'. I created this to help inspire other people like me who have big ideas and little know-how. This is to encourage you to believe that you can do whatever you dream of.

I also share about my life as a redhead with a lot of opinions, my experiences as a twenty-something year old nearing thirty, and the whole crazy wedding planning process for my fiance and me.

(One of) My Best Friend's Wedding

Remember that movie? Gotta love Julia.


                               Kit & Kaboodle

When writing this post, I couldn't help but think of that title. In October, I had the honor of being a bridesmaid of one of my college roommate's wedding. The wedding was adorable. The bride made, planned, and designed all the decorations herself (with a little help from her parents). She is basically Martha Stewart, but younger and without all the legal problems. ;)

Here are a few pictures that show off her creativity and craftiness.






She made all the bunting flags, chalkboard signs, and put together all the decorations. She also made these Kraft paper and burlap programs, complete with their wedding logo.





She made these burlap wreaths featuring cotton and Anthropologie letters.




Instead of petals, her flower girl sprinkled these paper hearts down the aisle.






She used an old mattress frame as a picture holder. (Aren't they such a cute couple?!)






Her wedding sign in table- all in chalkboards, ribbon, cotton, and wood.



Their legacy table





The wedding was in October. Cute little pumpkins lined the walkway to the chapel. The bride made those cute burlap flags.

She made these centerpieces with tea lights, branches, glass jars, and galvanized hearts.

Her dad made those crates to give the centerpieces height. :)

She also made this chalkboard tray for their champagne toast.

She is very talented with chalk.

She also made each of us these shirts. She tie-dyed and screen printed them herself. You can see more about this here.

Didn't she do an amazing job?!?! (Great job, Dell!)
