Easter Table

 My inspiration for our Easter table décor started here ↓↓↓

 

When shopping at IKEA a few weekends ago, I found this little tin and plant for a great deal and it was the only thing not on my list that I bought.  It reminded me of something Joanna Gaines would decorate with.  <shout out Fixer Upper!!>

 This bunny salt/pepper shaker from Target was my other inspiration ↑↑↑

I decided to put one at each place setting as a favor.

 

In keeping with my clean rustic look, I decided on a white table cloth (from Dollar Tree) and a burlap table runner (a scrap of burlap fabric I already had).

 

I also had little succulents from Dollar Tree that I added to the mix.

 

I knew I wanted one more element, so I searched paper bunny and found this guest blog by Peabody & Sassafras for a paper bunny and knew it was perfect!  It even gives you the pdf template!!

 

Then, I needed the perfect paper.  I thought about watercolor painting paper, but thought I'd see what Michael's had to offer.  I found a paper that was exactly what I was looking for and pulled the whole look together.

 

The paper bunnies turned out great!!

 

 

I added lavender napkins from Target, white plates and a rice krispie nest for each person! 

 

 

Our lunch was really delicious and it was a lovely, relaxing family dinner.

 

I hope your family had a lovely Easter as well!

This is my adooooooorable nephew Henry!!

Engagement Setting

In just a few weeks, my youngest sister is getting married. She and her fiance asked me to take their engagement pictures and left any setting or props up to me - I was SO excited to plan a beautiful, colorful, elegant outdoor setting.

I chose a spot at the Anthony Lake that had arching branches as the backdrop.



We chose a bright fall color scheme.



I spent a weekend going to Pier 1, Hobby Lobby, World Market, Gordman's, Target and antique stores gathering ideas and buying a few items. I was excited to find the brightly colored folding chairs at Target for about $8.00.



I ended up getting most of the dishes from my mom's china cabinet - I love those depression era pink dishes!





I dipped strawberries in chocolate and drizzled white chocolate - it added beautiful color to the table, added a romantic element and was a favorite of the couple's!



Beautiful setting, beautiful couple, beautiful pictures!



I loved the setting so much, I used it as the background for my blog!
