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.

Canton Finds

If you are into vintage, antique, or rustic decor, Canton is the place to go. Since our wedding will have some vintage flair to it, we made the trip down to good ol' Canton to get a few items for the wedding. Our flowers will be in vintage mason jars and eclectic bottles, rather than traditional vases. Luckily, we hit the jackpot on the mason jar supply. We found a booth where they had more cool looking mason jars than we could possibly transport ourselves. At first, I thought it wasn't going to work out since upon finding them I saw that the jars range up to $32 a piece! We need about 60 jars, so there was no way we would pay that price. After flexing my ol' college Negotiation course skills, we ended up getting tons of jars! They range from mid-sized to large and clear to light blue. Since our wedding will be in the spring, the blue will offer a nice hint of color. Here are some Pinterest photos that inspired our plan for our reception flowers:

We also found a nifty antique window. I plan to add ribbon to it to hang pictures on at our wedding. Something similar to this one:

In the meantime, I am going to Christmas it up! I will post a picture as soon as my Christmas burlap arrives!

Wedding Plans in Progress!

Ladies and Gentlemen: We now have a venue! Wooo hooo!!! That's right. After looking at countless venues, we finally decided to go with the one that would have been my number one choice all along. I am not the type of girl who has thought about my wedding day before. Not at all. Not until after I got engaged. But, I did think that it would be magical to get married at this place the first time I went there. Believe me, this is an unusual thought for me. Daniel just so happens to love the place too. Once I moved here, he couldn't wait to take me to see it. It's basically a huge garden. I am so excited, I can barely contain myself. The venue is a place that I want to be at at all times. Seriously, I never want to leave there. As much as I am excited about the venue, I am just as excited about the flowers. I think I might be in love with my florist's talent. She is absolutely amazing and crazy talented. Don't believe me? Here are a few pictures of her work.
