Baby Shower Basket for Gianna

I recently went to my friend Lisa's baby shower. She is expecting her first child, Gianna Elyse in February. By the way, how adorable is that name????Gianna's nursery colors are cream, grey, and pink. I love doing baby shower baskets and this one was no exception! Didn't it turn out cute?

I made sure to include some of my very favorite things. First up, our Quirky Love print, an organic bamboo blanket from Kicky Pants, Carter's newborn onesies, Aquaphor (a.k.a. miracle ointment), and a JellyCat bunny. Tucked in the back is a funny little book called Porn For New Moms. If you've never seen it, it's hilarious and Lisa is just the gal to appreciate this sort of thing! Can't wait to meet little baby G!

Casey & Jen's Video Sneak Peek

Hi all! Every once in awhile I get the honor to be both a guest and do the flowers for a wedding. My good friend Jen was married to Casey back in October. I was intimately involved in all the styling of this wedding, along with the fab Bre from Joyful Weddings & Events, and the beautiful bride herself.

It was an amazing wedding and I was so blessed to be a part of it. I have to say, this group of vendors was THE BEST! One vendor in particular was Modern 8 Films. Be sure to check out their blog post to watch a short video of the wedding day. It will be well worth your 16 minutes. I welled up all over again seeing my dear friends exchange vows and getting to hear Casey's amazing speech for the 2nd time.


All I can say is I wish I had known about these guys when I got married....dang! What a wonderful keepsake. Check out a few more pictures and a funny story about these two here and here! Let me know what you think of the video!

Newport Beach Wedding

Back in August, I had the opportunity to do Amanda & Stefan's wedding in Newport Beach. What a fun wedding to be a part of! There were so many lovely details that the bride put together with the help of the fabulous Bre from Joyful Weddings & Events.

These beautiful pictures are brought to you by Brynn Alyson Photography. Check her work out here. Don't miss that amazing cake by Sweet & Saucy Shop. Enjoy the pictures!















Congrats Amanda & Stefan! It was a pleasure to be a part of your wonderful day!

DIY Butterfly shadow box

Happy January 2012! We have been busy bees over here while we've been on vacation. I recently did this quick craft for fun and I love the way it turned out. Trust me, it's super easy, quick, and doesn't cost very much (depending on how much you have at home already).

What you need is a shadow box (Michael's or Aaron Brothers are good places. I got mine at Michael's 50% off), a butterfly hole punch (mine is Martha Stewart from Michael's, again, 50% off with a coupon), and scrapbook paper. I bought a few different kinds, as I wasn't sure which combo I'd like the best.


The shadow box came with adhesive velcro, so that made the project even easier. It is also great because I can re-use in the future without any damage to it (i.e. glue).

Wah-lah! Here is the finished project!

More pictures to come soon, as Drew's room has SO many new fun things! Stay tuned...
