I couldn't resist. A huge bunch of tulips for $4.50 at Trader Joe's. Flowers are never that cheap in Nashville!

Speaking of invitations, how do you display yours? I kept mine in a folder for a while, but would find myself forgetting events. So I tried to do a nice display on a white magnet board, that has now turned into a mish-mash of everything- not the neat ensemble I had envisioned. The 'pretty' invitations I leave up way past the actual event...do you find yourself doing the same thing?

No- not officially here (it's cold and rainy in Nashville), but I can see the beginnings now that the HPG spring line has started to hit the websites! A couple of my new favorites, above. From top: robot, candle cake, blue coral, fiesta hat, cupcakes, and lattice table.

My 6 year anniversary is coming up next week, and I can hardly believe all that has changed in the wedding industry in that time. Wedding blogs were non-existent. Highly detailed weddings seemed to be few and far between. Kate Spade didn't have wedding china and Vera Wang didn't have a stationery line.

Word on the street is that Hable Construction is closing their NYC storefront, to focus on other ventures. I've long loved their store- it's one of those inspirational spots I always stop by (even though it is SO out of the way) every time I'm in the city. Sigh. Another one bites the dust.

I'm always looking for interesting ways to take photos of my babe. He's too old for this set-up, but I'm in love. Perhaps if there is a #2 at some point, I can stage something like this (from Birmingham photographer Grethel Van Epps)!

Sharon Slaughter and I have followed much of the same path. We went to the same graduate school, we both worked at Martha Stewart (she was in the Kmart division and then moved to the Weddings magazine as an art director), and then went on to start paper goods companies in smaller towns. So I was thrilled to see her lovely rehearsal dinner on Snippet & Ink- I loved everything about it, not to mention it was in a Tennessee town!
A friend told me of a recent Finding Nemo-themed birthday party...the party itself was just dandy, she proclaimed- but the 'favor' they gave out at the end- were live goldfish, all individually bagged up and ready to go! She somehow got out of accepting the fish, but she said the other moms were in horror as they had to scramble to get fish food, a tank, etcetera. I'm sure the birthday mom had the best intentions when she came up with this idea, but I have to say it wins my all-time worst party favor so far! Do you guys have any other doozies?

Tall and skinny birthday candles at Stephmodo's Etsy shop.

Given that I'm located in the Southeast, I am hoping our winter days are numbered. In the Northeast, however- the cold is around to stay for a bit more. I was (almost) jealous of our wintry northern neighbors when I received these pictures of a sledding party in Massachusetts. Look at that deep, plush snow!

The overcast skies and chilly days here in Nashville have me longing for warmer weather, spring-y days and rainbows. Which made me think of this cake I have long been in love with!

Gen's wedding had many beautiful details. As you can see, her 'concept photos' (yesterday's post) translated beautifully to the actual event.
