Monday, Monday Inspiration

Today's inspiration is quilts! I thought it would be fun for my grandma to make us a wedding quilt. She produces tons of quilts with her quilting group at church for the homeless and newborns. I started searching around for some ideas. Definitely something modern and fun! Quilts courtesy of Purl Bee.

How cute are these hanging pom poms? Good inspiration right there! Thanks, Southern Weddings! Tomorrow heading to SA-town for g-pa's birthday and to see mamacita for Mother's Day!

This week's inspiration fun is dogs at weddings!(!!!!) I've chosen dogs because the sweetest girl in the whole world, Penny Lane, turns six years old today. Being Penny's mom has been one of the most joyful and rewarding experiences in my life. Anyone would tell you this because I talk about her A LOT! In honor of her bday, she will be having steak for dinner and I'm going to make her a peanut butter carrot cake :-) She will be joining the wedding festivities next April, naturally.

Pic O' the Day!

Today we have a nice, refreshing bouquet. We see so many pastels and pinks these days in bouquets - this red, white, and blue is a treat!

Baby goats and vintage lace


Colorful suits, ties, and boutonnières (in my dreams!)


Hanging flower blossoms


Feminine, airy dresses and beautiful flowers

Shocking - this week's inspiration is flowers. I love flowers and I can't think of many things more beautiful! Also, I'm really trying to give sources of where I get things from now. I'm not trying to take any credit, I just go through so many blogs, by the time I post the picture I can't remember where it came from.

How fun is this idea?! I think we'll see a lot more things like this in future weddings. Via The Sweetest Occasion


Quince. Florist suggested this on some of the tables. Love it! Simple and beautiful.


Amazing bright, bright pink blossoms!


Just an adorable picture. Via Dandelion and Grey


Bright bouquets perfect for spring or summer!
