In a few days I will be married for two months! Can you believe it?

A lot of work went into our wedding when it came to the small things. We wanted the event to be spectacular in the grand scheme of things, but also down to the little details. It’s strange to plan something for so long, yet you have no idea of what it will all look like until the big day. By that time, you’ll be so busy you can hardly take it all in. I really did try, to enjoy every single moment, but thank goodness for photos!

I am newly obsessed with this blog by La Partie Events, a florist stroke event design company based out in California. They’ve even done a wedding shot by Max Wanger. Cool stuff.  Anyway, La Partie Events has the most beautiful ideas, and looking at some of the bouquet and centerpiece sizes, they’ve got some excellent budgets to work with, too.

Definitely a bookmark if you’re looking for unique and modern floral inspiration.

J and I were at Markville Mall the other day, having a casual stroll, when I saw something really gorgeous at Melanie Lyne. Melanie Lyne, you say? Ok, so I have never shopped there, but it’s about time I did:

Window display at Melanie Lyne

This was exactly what I had talked to J about a few weeks ago! I saw in a photo somewhere, centerpieces that were made of vases, topped with lampshades to look like lamps. We asked the manager at the store where the window displays were from, but she didn’t know. She did, however, say that they sometimes sell their window displays after the season is over, so “check back in August”. Meh.

I didn’t take a photo of it, but they also had a Ghost chair in the window display, which I have been pining for forever (J said we can get some for the flat! WOOO!). Whoever the visual merchandiser is for Melanie Lyne, he/she’s got taste!

We went to Homesense too, and came across some other centerpiece ideas that I thought were interesting but J absolutely did not:

Cool swirly candle holder
