Now that the holidays are wrapping up it's time to think back to all the decor you've seen over the last month. The holidays are a great time to get wedding inspiration. Here's one idea I'm pulling out of the camera...
My husband and I were out during the day and saw these things hanging in the trees. Of course, I had to check it out. They were satin sacks filled with clear Christmas lights. It looked interesting enough in the daylight; I made the hubbs go back that night so I could see the full effect. My camera doesn't do justice to this person's creativity.
For an outdoor reception, which we have many of here in CA, what a neat alternative to wrapping the trees with white lights. Although, I am a sucker for tasteful twinkle lights. Enjoy!
Wishing you a joy filled Christmas! May you and yours find peace, love, and many blessings.
"And the angel said unto them, 'Fear not. I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. Unto you, born this day, a savior which is Christ the Lord.'" Luke 2:10-11
I was in
Pottery Barn over the weekend and found some nifty place card holders. They are little silver packages. The bow holds the place card, and you can open the box. Perfect for the bride looking to make the place card holder and the favor one and the same. You could fill them with candies in your wedding colors or whatever your heart can dream up. I haven't been able to find them at
PotteryBarn.com, so if you're interested I'd run out and find them. They are on holiday clearance. Heck, if you want them, call me and I'll go out and get them for you. :-) Too cute!
Whether you live in the South Bay or not, I've got a fun holiday event for you--and it's free!
The
Port of Los Angeles is lighting up their fountains coordinated to holiday music. While the fountains run throughout the week, the best time to go is on Friday nights from 7-9pm. Songs play regularly, instead of 20 minutes apart, not to mention that there is live choral entertainment and vendors are on hand.
Ryan and I checked it out last weekend and stayed the whole time. Just bundle up. FYI, you can even bring your own hot coco.
For more info. you can check out the
Daily Breeze.
Enjoy, and a merry Christmas season to everyone!
