Peony Season is here - our favorite flower

We love spring because it brings us our favorite flower - the peony! We have some at our desk at the moment and can't get enough of the fragrance and just staring at the beautiful delicate petals. I grew up with peony trees in my yard as a little girl and didn't know how lucky I was! In the midwest it was a sign that winter had passed and summer was around the corner! According to mythology and folklore peony flowers are a sign of good fortune, wealth, honor and happy marriages. Even more reason to have them in your bridal bouquet.

Happy Mother's Day!

Wishing you all a very special mother's day! Even for those who aren't mothers yet, it is a gift to be a mom! I love you to my mom Janet who is a creative and talented loving mother, I simply lucked out! Pictured here with me in Mexico.

Feliz Cinco de Mayo!

Happy Cinco de Mayo! We hope you celebrate by having a nice cool beverage! We are off to Mexico next week for what is our first wedding of the season. Cabo is a great place to have a fiesta and some fun! Adios Amigos.

A Royal Wedding Weekend

Congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge! What a fairy tale day!

Planning a wedding is an art, it takes a lot of time, creativity and skill. The Royal Wedding today was exquisite. I have been thinking of all of the staff members and vendors who painstakingly have been hard at work to execute such a timeless and beautiful affair for the handsome prince and princess. Kudos to all of those that worked so diligently, it is a proud day to be a Brit! I wanted to highlight that as much as one can plan and hope for a perfect wedding day that it is important to enjoy the moment and that some of the best memories are not planned and will organically take place. One example is a photo that someone captured of the

3 year old royal bridesmaid with her hands over her ears (see above pic) while the bride and groom have their famous kiss on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. This is a classic photo and moment in time!

We loved the royal attendants that adorned floral wreaths. So insanely gorgeous!

Princess Kate is a classic beauty, we especially loved her bouquet (mostly made of lily of the valley).
Congratulations to the glowing newlyweds! May you live happily ever after!
