Board {Colorful Picnic}

I love the idea of an intimate picnic wedding or party. Imagine a casual day with your closest friends and family celebrating. And a well-designed setting to boot. Sounds great to me! Happy weekend!

Etsy Shoppin' {The Honeycomb}

I just love these dreamy headpieces from The Honeycomb. My inner hippie cries out for joy when I see them. Any bride-to-be wanting to wear these please seek me out for some collaborating because I love this style!

Two Ways {Fiesta}

It's a blast to think about one concept executed in multiple ways. For example, I think a fiesta-inspired bash works beautifully in bright, fun colors or in subdued pastels. Either way, an occasion to remember!

Pastel Fiesta {Beach, Fringe, Dress, Favors, Beer in a Bag, Escort Cards, Rings}

Today, we were lucky enough to have our NYE Gold Rush party featured on one of my favorite event blogs, The Sweetest Occasion. We are super pumped about it since TSO consistently features amazing party and wedding inspiration. What a great start to 2012! Check it out here.
