Home For Easter

We hope everyone who celebrates Easter had a lovely holiday weekend with those you love!

I (Stacey) had so much fun hosting our families yesterday! It was a small crew this year, table for 11, the perfect size (for our dining room)! We wanted everyone to be able to feast at one table, so we put in the extra leaf and ordered gold chiavari chairs from A Party Pleasing. By doing this, it created plenty of space for everyone to sit comfortably, we even had enough room for one more!

Easter Table

We wanted to mix the traditional pastel shades of Easter with an extra pop of color, creating that WOW factor effect! The color palette for the day: Pale blues, shades of pink, green, whites and gold. The linens were a gorgeous pale blue and creamy white (Williams Sonoma, Painterly Damask Tablecloth & Napkins) perfect for any spring or summer event you may be hosting. We used a mix of vintage, antique plates that were my Grandmother-in-laws. Each guest were greeted at their place setting by a pretty die cut peony place card purchased at Laura Clare's Florist in Bernardsville, NJ and a yummy chocolate bunny pop from Enjou Chocolat in Morristown, NJ, we tied them with beautiful blue ribbon. The centerpiece was a mix of a few of our favorite's: blue hydrangea, pink peonies, white tulips and silver dollar eucalyptus done by Laura @ Laura Clare's - she let us hand select the florals and she arranged everything so beautifully for us in a low, gold mercury glass pedestal vase. She definitely knows my taste to a T! For the double chandeliers in the room, I really wanted to create a garden like atmosphere indoors - fresh eucalyptus from Laura and live ivy and bright pink tulips from plants purchased from one of my favorite places, Morris County Farms in Denville, NJ.

The dinner menu: Roasted rosemary chickens, chive and dill mashed potatoes, melon arugula salad with homeade lemon dressing, roasted snap peas with asparagus and my mother's homeade rolls. For sweets, we enjoyed a beautiful fruit platter + red velvet cupcakes made by my Mom (family tradition since before they were a worldwide favorite), vanilla cupcakes with lemon zest icing that I made, mini chocolate chip cookies and cheesecake that my mother-in-law made, cute little lemon sugar cookies from Williams Sonoma and of course jelly beans galore! Everything was delicious over our chai tea latte's, Starbucks house blend coffees and iced hot chocolate for the kids (thank goodness for Keurig's)!

Favorite Florals: Dinner Plate Dahlias

The dinner plate dahlia definitely deserves a round of applause for coming into season as soon as the beloved peony leaves us. You know the peony is our favorite flower, but we have to say the dinner plate dahlias come in as a strong second. The dinner plate dahlias are giant (hence the word dinner pate), they have blooms that are about 8" across on average, but can get up to 14." They are the perfect focal point for any end of summer or fall floral arrangement. These flowers will definitely add the "wow" factor to your wedding or any special event. They begin to come into season late June and stick around until October. Although they can be priced high, you will need less of them because of their size offering a budget friendly option.

They look beautiful as a single stem in a tall or bud vase, a large arrangement, ceremony decor and in bridal bouquets. Dinner plate dahlias come in various colors; white (most common), ivory, a soft pink/peach, and a color ranging from sherbet-coppery orange. These flowers are perfect for a modern, elegant or rustic chic wedding.

The perfect way to "ring" in the New Year!

A New Year's Eve wedding celebration is the perfect way to "ring" in the New Year!

Be sure to select your venue as soon as possible and send the save-the-dates out since your event will be held on a holiday. We suggest planning your ceremony later in the day, with an 8:00 pm reception, you will want your guests to stay until the clock strikes midnight!  We recommend booking all your vendors (band, DJ, catering, Photographer, transportation) well enough in advance in order to avoid the normal New Year's crowd!

When you chose the colors for your wedding, try sticking with traditional New Year’s Eve colors like blacks, golds and silvers. For flowers, we love to add a little sparkle or feathers into the mix.

As for attire, it might be fun to make your wedding a black tie affair, and for the bride, embrace a glitzy gown, it's your night to shine (& sparkle) after all it is NYE! For the bridesmaids, we love long black gowns and the groomsmen in black tuxedos.

Make sure to send out your invitations an extra month or so ahead of time in order to give your guests plenty of time since it is a holiday and family who have already been planning on visiting for Christmas can extend their stay until the New Year to celebrate your wedding.
