Happy weekend!!!

I hope you have some fun in store for you this weekend;)

Me? I am going to make some crafty creations this weekend to show some brides soon for their weddings.  My favorite part of  planning weddings is styling them.  I LOVE it.

Speaking of creating, I am all about DIY decor and making your own fun items for your wedding.  

I mean . . . you can decorate a pretty wedding with paper.  

PAPER you say?  

YES.

Ferns

Woodland. . . 

Whimsical, organic, natural.

There's just something natural and simplistic about ferns

Are you a "vintage" fan?

***Welcome to my newest bride Jacinta***

~Succulents LOVE~

Ok if you have been looking at any wedding website, on Pinterest, you have been seeing 

succulents

ALL over the place!

Well here are some more amazing succulent ideas/photos

. . .
Now first, what is a succulent?

"Succulent plants, also known as succulents or fat plants, are water-retaining plants adapted to aridclimates or soil conditions. Succulent plants store water in their leaves, stems, and also in roots."

(Wikipedia)

Not to be confused with cactus; cacti are succulents but not all succulents are cacti. 

A few fun ideas on succulents and your wedding:
