When birds do sing, her ding a ding, ding;

Sweet lovers love the spring.”

Tis the season for peony, one of every bride’s faves! We have all seen the fluffy white and pink varieties with petals galore, so, I want to highlight the tree peony… A tree peony is actually not grown from a tree at all, but from a shrub! They bear stronger stems and often larger flowers than other varieties of peony and can look out of this world. Usually characterized by an amazingly fuzzy center and single petals surrounding….they are very intricate and can almost look like handmade/painted tissue flowers! Spot them below in some gorgeous arrangements and hand-tied bouquets!

I’m definitely a believer that how you throw a party is a really great indicator of your style.  The party we threw for our three year old daughter’s birthday was fun, colorful, unique and relaxed. We like to incorporate a bit of culture and create an experience for everyone attending. This year, we decided to give a nod to our daughter’s mexican heritage (she was named after her 2 mexican great grandmothers- beatrice dorothy) by throwing a fiesta full of festive details. We decorated our backyard with papel picado garland flags and tissue paper flowers. We had a seven piece mariachi serenade the birthday girl and had a cake that looked like a pinata and was filled with candy. We served tecate, tamales, and pb+j tacos! Everyone had a blast celebrating the birthday girl and enjoyed an early cinco de mayo fiesta!

The following vases don’t just look cool but are geometrically sound! Shape, size, relative position of figures, and the properties of space are ideas that make them rad.
