My favorite flower

I've never really been the type of girl to know much about flowers. I love flowers, don't get me wrong. But I loved them all equally and probably couldn't name most of them. That was until this year. My mom planted some flowers that turned out beautifully and e-mailed me pictures.

That's when I feel in love with Dahlias.

Wish Upon a Wedding

Today was my first day back in my classes. Since I’m the type to think ahead I decided to look through my syllabus for my class tomorrow. It turns out I have to plan a special event for a non-profit organization. Now knowing me, I always try to make things about weddings. So I went to google and typed in “Non-profit wedding” and I was really touched by what I found.

This company is called Wish Upon a Wedding. It reminds me of the Make-A-Wish Foundation but the big wish that they provide for terminally ill patients is a wedding. Wish Upon a Wedding connects with vendors who want to give back to the community in the best way they know how.

One unique thing about the company that I particularly appreciate is that it doesn’t discriminate based on sexual orientation. That’s very forward thinking of them (although we do all feel the change already of course).

Feel free to check out their website, it has a touching video about what they program offers:

Wedding Favor Cake

I absolutely love this idea! It looks so adorable and it doesn't seem too complicated either. The only worry I would have is how guests are supposed to get the favors. I'd hate to be the first guest to take it apart. But I guess you'd just have to man up and do it.

Wedding Gawker

As a perfectionist and a college student, I have learn the art of procrastination. The internet tends to provide plenty of interesting outlets for me to forget about assignments. I've found stumbleupon.com, awkwardfamilyphotos.com, textsfromlastnight.com, and of course fml.com.

But it wasn't until I was sitting in my PR class that I heard about my new favorite obsession. It's called weddinggawker.com. I could spend hours on this website and if you're looking for inspiration it's the perfect place to check out. The photography is fantastic, the ideas are inspired, and the stories are fun and touching.

Purple and Yellow

My sister is getting married this summer!! She loves purple so naturally it's her wedding color. But she also wanted an accent color. I've heard some people scoff at the idea of yellow and purple together. What do you think? I found a few pictures that I thought put together yellow and purple in fun or classy ways. Is it really as bad as some people think??

Enchanted

Last night one of my favorite movies was on tv...ENCHANTED. It's ridiculously adorable. And I'm including it in movie Monday because it does actually include some wedding related material. I mean Gisele spends the first half of the movie in a huge fairytale wedding dress! Enchanted is definitely a great movie for kids but I also think it's such a perfect chick flick. It just makes me smile.
