We got these in the mail the other day from our fab photographer, and there’s no way I’m not sharing some with you! Thank you again to everyone who made it all happen – Tara, Keith, Stan, Joan, and even Tara’s dad who made lots of friends sitting around with a bunch of furniture in the forest.

There’s a photo of a bee in the flowers… not sure if Tara knew that J and I only call each other by our first names if we’re fighting (all other times it’s Bee), but how appropriate!

As you may know by now, I was part of Tiff’s bridal party this summer, who happens to be one of my bridesmaids. We threw her and Ken a Jack & Jill, and celebrated with both the bride and the groom and their family and friends.

As the bridal party, we were originally disappointed because we had a rather feminine theme planned for Tiff’s shower: Breakfast at Tiffany’s. When Tiff decided she wanted a co-ed shindig, we had to quickly come up with a new unisex theme. Luckily, I scouted a most perfect party location and realized we could keep the original theme – the space was contemporary and ultra-chic, and fit the Breakfast at Tiffany’s theme perfectly. We renamed it to Breakfast at Tiffany’s (and Ken).

Thanks to our group of DIYers, we had all the details set. I designed the invitations (with a fittingly graphic Audrey Hepburn), Lisa created scrumptious and beautiful mini-cakes to look like Tiffany boxes, and Kat (the groom’s sister) crafted a nifty sign that the couple ended using at their wedding, too. The Sunday brunch went without a hitch, and I must say, it was sad when we didn’t have any more bridesmaid meetings to plan this thing!

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.
