Texture and white

The white is so beautiful and still.

Friday flowers

Photo from Little Flower School, where I am going (yes, me!) for a flower class of my choice thanks to a very thoughtful birthday present!!! I am pretty much drooling just thinking about all of the potentially amazing flowers. Brooklyn, here I come! I will be obsessing over what class I would like to take all weekend. Have a good one!

J Crew bridal shop

The new J Crew bridal shop opened on Thursday at 769 Madison Avenue (66th Street) for the bride, groom, best man, bridesmaid, guest and more. Cute jewelry too. For appointments: kate@jcrew.com. I think this could potentially be a great place to stop in and do a no-fuss, get-it-done entire-wedding-shopping-trip without breaking the bank. If anyone goes, I want to hear about it!

Gap platform bow wedges

Gap, I am impressed. These are cute and nothing is more flattering to the leg than a nude shoe. Think long and lean. The bow adds some personality and the platform adds great height. This weekend use code GAPSUMMER online to get 25% off and free shipping over $100.

Firefly jar invites

How cute is this invitation suite for a casual summer evening wedding?! Sweet, nostalgic and I like the way the fireflies add some sparkle. There's a matching save the date. From Minted.

Green city market

Green city market opened for the season last week and I am so happy its back! Today I picked up some asparagus, rhubarb and peonies. Plus a crepe for lunch, of course! Am hoping the rhubarb transforms itself into dessert tomorrow.

Josie's tea party

My friend Kara put together the cutest tea party themed 2nd birthday party for her youngest daughter Josie. So sweet! As always, I heart paper poms.

Scenes from Santa Fe

Happy Monday! Had a wonderful birthday weekend in Santa Fe. What a cool place! Desert, mountains, hiking, spa, food and more food. These particular burritos were as big as my head, if not bigger. The green chile version for me and the red chile version for my husband.

Friday flowers

Ahhhh, lilacs are in season!!! We went to dinner at our friends house last weekend and she cut fresh lilacs from her backyard for the table. I had a momentary fit of jealousy.

More picnic party

There are so many things I love about this table, starting with the big, fluffy pillows as seating. From frolic.

A picnic party

Its almost summer and this could be so fun! From top: picnic photo from frolic, flowers from snippet & ink, dress by J Crew, drinks from cannelle et vanille, picnic box from oh happy day, honey jar favors from Once Wed.

Simple save the date

Subtle, cute and customizable in more ways than one. Via simple + pretty.

Pretty paper cranes

Via Once wed. How pretty are these over a table or against a wall as a backdrop to a party?

Farmer's market baskets

I love these bone china farmer's market baskets from Jayson Home & Garden. I could see them with lemons, limes and tomatoes to brighten up a table or as pictured with summer berries.

Summer camp wedding

My mom and I were discussing fun ways to do an afternoon wedding and this cute one popped up today on Snippet & Ink. The wedding was held at the bride's family's house and guests were invited to camp out on the property. Love the DIY elements, the fun summer camp theme and how appropriate the bride's dress is for the setting. More here.

Happy mother's day!
