Found: EMERSONMADE

This husband and wife designer team make just about everything. You can buy a handmade bloom to put on your shoes or your lapel or a sash or your hair. You can even buy blooms with love notes in them. Use them as favors, use them as decoration in your house or on yourself. There are so many posibilites!

Aren't they just adorable? And I really admire husband and wife teams. Mine helps me whenever he can and I love him all the more for it. Exploring EmersonMade's blog really got me missing the East Coast though. With the classic styles and timeless pieces. I miss driving through Middleburg, VA and stopping for brunch, and seeing all the women in their Sunday bests. Geez, I guess I know where I'll be going the next time I visit the east! You know the saying... you can take the girl out of the east coast but you can't take the east coast out of the girl. It's very true. :)

Check out this amazingly fun and creative wedding from Hello Lucky.

So how great would it have been to be guests at that wedding?

If you haven't given me your opinion yet via comment, e-mail or Facebook, please take the time to give me your opinion on which of my inspiration boards I should enter into The Dessy Group's contest. You'd really be helping me out. For everyone who has told me your favorite, thank you and it is really interesting to know that all of your tastes differ.

The Dessy Group is having an Inspiration Board contest that I want to enter but I am only able to choose one to go in and I can't decide. I was hoping for some help.

First one up is "A Blushing Romance"

What about "Urban Opulence"

Then there is "Citrus Drop"

"Efflorescence" is a big favorite too

"Sumptuous Love" is a great one

"Dulcet Love" is a simple one with big dreams

This next board is one I shared with you earlier today named "Petrichor"

The last one is named "Ebullience"

Any feedback would be great!

Thank you!!

Today's Inspiration Board is named Petrichor, which means the smell of earth after the rain.

I'm a big fan of using the stacked boxes as both the centerpieces and favors at the end of the night. And that cake is just asking me to take a big bite out of it. 

Yesterday I had a meeting with Rancho Bernardo Inn to discuss the May 8th Wedding I will be doing. That venue is amazing. I loved the large oil paintings on the walls and the gorgeous spanish style decor. Here are a few snapshots I got(I wasn't able to get any of the ballroom):

It's going to be beautiful!

I just wanted to share a few more pictures from my beautiful weekend...

Meet my adopted canine sister-in-law Sophie. She's precious.

Where I spent part of my weekend...

It was amazing to see my mother and father-in-law this weekend. But they are back on the East Coast now and it is time to get back to the real world. :) It certainly makes a mundane Monday more exciting though.... now it's time to count down the days until my good friend Gray comes to vist us. On Friday. Through Tuesday. Amazing!!! We have such awesome plans made up.

For today's Etsy favorites I wanted to share Davie and Chiyo.

Their customized Bridal Clutches are adorable, fun and stylish.

Have a great day all! Don't covet these gorgeous clutches too much!

Today was GREAT! I had a blast with my in-laws and surprised my husband who swears he didn't know anything was going on. It was so awesome seeing Jim and Susan after 9 months of being gone from the East Coast. Love them!

Tomorrow is jam-packed too. I am going to take them to see The Mission Inn Hotel where many presidents have stayed and even one got married there. The perfect place for someone who is looking for a location with history, old-fashioned glamour and romance. It's even better in person, these pictures below don't do it justice.

I will see you back here on Monday with plenty of pictures to share from our fun, including our beach trip this Saturday and also Monday Etsy Wedding Finds! I've got some really great ones all set!

Have an great and relaxing(if you can manage it :) ) weekend!
