ok. so my x is a stretch, but i couldn't come up with anything i liked that started with the consonant, so whatever.

i'm a sucker for a good wedding (aka: party).

i dream of pulling together/throwing parties with some of the ideas i find on the fantastic website style me pretty.

the last image: isn't this one of the most creative wedding invites you've ever seen (via love it a lot)?

i love to throw intimate dinner parties. there's a certain romance to drinking relatively (in)expensive wine, savouring a creative meal and lingering over a farmer's table chatting and listening to jazz. perhaps it's because smaller fêtes give me the opportunity to get to know my guests a bit better. or maybe it's because i can indulge my girly side in fun dining details -- like these assorted and brightly coloured finds from emerald + ella.

i want absolutely everything from this online boutique. don't you just love some of these items? they inspire me to throw a fantastic party for my closest friends. and how unique are their floral arrangements!?
