Hope everyone had a great weekend! Thanks so much for all of the birthday well wishes…we had a great time, just hanging out at home, eating WAY too much chocolate and doing a little too much of nothing. Perfect way to kick off an all new decade.

We have kind of a hodge podge of stuff for you today, which is sometimes the best way to do it. A little something for everyone. First up, some really simple, but gorgeous centerpiece ideas that more...

I looooove today’s wedding centerpiece idea that the fabulous Kelly McWilliams of Weddings by Socialites designed for us. It’s so elegant and yet so totally approachable.

Perhaps you’ve heard that wedding invitations set the tone for your wedding. Well, if that’s true, then you must know that your wedding flowers define the tone for the entire wedding celebration! From simple and sweet, to grand and glorious. Flowers delight. The sheer beauty has an intangible, almost magnetic effect to young and old alike. Jessica at more...

I’ve been to so many weddings where the flowers take center stage. And to be honest, it’s pretty great to see gorgeous blooms tucked in every corner, dripping off every detail.

Another really great way to bring textures, colors and even prints into your wedding style is to use a box to house your flowers.

Whites. There is something so beautiful about an all white palette. It just screams elegance and sophistication. Bring in some natural greens and a sweet feminine approach and the result is, well…fabulous.

Loving this next centerpiece…simple limes immersed in water, accented with the fabulous brocade votive holders.

People always ask me how I choose the weddings and ideas that I write about on Style Me Pretty. The truth is, it happens way more organically than many people realize. I usually start thinking about the next day’s posts at night, though I don’t solidify anything until the morning that it goes live. And oftentimes, I don’t have anything at all planned for the day when I wake up in the morning.

Which was exactly the case today. I am still playing catch-up from being...
