Girl With the Dragon Wedding

Posted by Michelle

To round out the week and wrap up the Chinese New Year themed posts, I wanted to share a beautiful wedding photo featuring the famous dragon dance tradition.  After all, it is the year of the dragon, which is considered the luckiest sign of the Chinese zodiac, making it a very auspicious time for weddings!  Wishing everyone lots of love, luck, and laughter this fortunate year!

DIY Hot Cocoa & Marshmallow Favors

Posted by Michal

I love these Wedding Favor Bags filled with hot cocoa and marshmallows from DIY Wedding – and they can be easily filled with anything you’d like, from seeds to candy. They use a sewing machine to seal the paper, which creates this beautiful, hand-made look. Visit their site for the full tutorial!

Here’s a sweet idea… use a pretty white mailbox for guests to leave wedding cards and good wishes for the newlyweds in!  How quaint!

Winter whites are gorgeous for wedding florals, especially when accompanied by pine cones, birch, silver sparkles, frosty leaves and glittered roses!
