Spring Has Sprung + Some Handcrafted, At Home Fresh Flower Arrangements
With just a week into spring, pretty flowers are a-blooming all over the place here in Southern California. I hope they are where you are too!
Like most of you, in addition to admiring the beauty of nature outside...I'm a huge fan of displaying blooms inside the house as well.

Of course, I'm not a professional florist. But I do know what I like. And I'm not afraid to experiment. So whether you're a bride looking to DIY your wedding flowers Click Here to Read More

A Charitable & OH-SO Lovely Southern Wedding at Simple Gatherings at Four Oaks Manor in Buford, Georgia
I love it when couples choose to donate to charities in lieu of purchasing wedding favors. There is no rule that says you have to give favors and honestly most people probably would prefer not to have to carry something home with them. So if you're not absolutely set on a special something that you just have to give to your guests, think about donating to charity. I'll bet you anything doing so will get you all warm and fuzzy inside knowing the money is going to a good cause!
