Flowers Make My Day.

I really do love flowers. I know that when I get married, the flower portion of the budget will be *slightly* bigger than the average. The thing I really love about flowers (especially in weddings) its something you can really see where the money goes. I certainly won't lie and say flowers are cheap. They're not. But, when you purchase $1500 worth of lilies - it shows! There are other items that just don't show quite as nicely :)

Brian over at Inspired Home & Flower Studio brought over a lovely little garden this week for me to stare at all week. Nestled in this little square pot are beautiful light pink Asiatic Lilies, Purple Billy Buttons and a beautiful, whopping pink King Kong Rose (which is officially my new favorite rose).

Pink King Kong Rose & Purple Billy Buttons.

Wouldn't this make a lovely centerpiece for a wedding? First off, Asiatic Lilies come in a variety of colors so you can easily incorporate your specific color. And of course, you could find a rose in just about any color of the rainbow for some accent colors (or the other way around!) I also think something like this has so much character to it - its like adding a miniature garden to each table! And, me being a flower/garden lover - how you can I not love that!

St. James Hotel Pajama Party

Last weekend was the 5th Annual Pajama Party here in Red Wing! We all had tons of fun! - Even when the tornado sirens went off! Luckily, the St. James Hotel has a fabulous (complete with a bar!) that everyone was able to fit comfortably into. And, the tornado missed Red Wing :).

Here's some pictures from the PJ Party!

For those who pre-registered for this great party, they received a Pajama Party Goody Bag - full of great things! (Chocolate...candles...lotion...and tons of other great items!)

This is the group of girls who competed in the Kid's PJ fashion show! The girls who won had quite the PJ style & personality!
