First comes love... then comes the wedding... then comes babies posing in a pretty setting!

A few weeks ago, Jaimee and I had the pleasure of working with Lynette Weber of Lynette Weber Photography on a project a little different from our everyday wedding chatter: a kids Valentine's Day photo shoot!  Together with Anna and Blue Paperie, Oh Fiddlesticks!, Birdie Baby Boutique, and Jack n Molly, we were able to pull together a deliciously whimsical dessert table for a fun shoot.

Lynette was blessed with such adorable models for this shoot that I couldn't resist sharing.  These kiddos are sure to put a smile in anyone's heart this Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!

In Love With: B H L D N

On this fantastic day of love, we have come to the conclusion of our Valentine's Day series of a week of things we love.  However, love is not the appropriate word for the feelings we have about the brand new wedding line stemming from Anthopologie's roots.  I would have to say we adore BHLDN at Four Leaf Events!  


This much anticipated online store just launched TODAY (Valentine's Day appropriateness all around).  The whimsy, the fashion, the romance, the uniqueness, and the sparkle (need I say more?) of BHLDN has drawn us in.  And while we are still completely perplexed by the line's name, we are already smitten.



We have been thumbing through the online pages of BHLDN's store and complied a small list of our top picks.  This Burnished Organza Gown comes in number one on both of our lists:

Jaimee loves...

Floral Artwork Dress, Raspberry Savory Dress, Pompom Shoe Clips, 

Agave Peep-Toes, Tussled Necklace, Graupel Necklace, 

Crystallized Chiffon Headband, Baguette Headband, Unabashedly Gloves

Jen Loves...

Ribboned Silk Gown, Dotted Voile Veil, Sinuous Silk Bracelet,

Jelly Slingbacks, Adorned Bolero, Indigo Mist Dress,

Deco Beaded Clutch, Pinwheel Tea Dress, Gilded Trillium Kisslock Clutch

Happy Valentine's Day!  Wishing you all a day full of love and lots of shopping on BHLDN =)

In Love With: Cupcake Bouquets

Looking for something different this Valentine's Day? Ditch the traditional bouquet of flowers, the healthy fruit bouquet, and even the much coveted cookie bouquet and go for something less conventional, do-it-yourself, and delicious: the cupcake bouquet. Faithfulness Farm's blog explains how to make this beautiful confection.

And while Valentine's Day is a day for celebrating love and an excuse to eat decadent desserts, the most wonderful thing about the cupcake bouquet is that it can be used year-round!  A cupcake bouquet could be the perfect touch to any shower or luncheon.  The Frugal Girls show you how to make this into the perfect gift.

You can use it as a gift or simply a centerpiece, and since you can custom make it to fit your needs, the combinations are endless.  However, if you're short on time or simply lack the ability to bake, you can still order a cupcake bouquet from many bakeries near you.  The Blushing Bake Shop offers this beautiful Valentine's Day bouquet.

And locally, Parcha Sweets, in Broad Ripple, offers cupcake bouquets with a variety of delicious flavors ranging from the classic red velvet to a pineapple upside down cupcake to filled cupcakes like s'mores, which is a "chocolate cupcake with graham cracker crust and chocolate ganache filling with marshmallow fluff frosting," and coconut, which is "a coconut cupcake and coconut cream filling with coconut buttercream frosting." YUM!  So whether you decide to make it yourself or order them from the bakery, go with cupcakes this year!
