romantic summer tablescape

If you've read olive & a for a while it's most likely no secret that I wish I was skilled in the art of floral arranging and party planning. I've probably talked about it enough. ;) But since I'm not, I'll just have to admire those who've got themselves some skills. A good representation of said skills in my book would be this gorgeous tablescape styled by Elizabeth Anne Designs. I just can't get enough of the colorful flowers mixed with the airy table and room. It makes for such a pretty and romantic statement.

p.s. I love the lace table runner that was created using simple strips of 6″ lace stitched together on the straight side. So sweet.

found it!

i know, i know...i've been talking about this a lot lately (see I and II) but i found it! the perfect inspiration picture that pretty much sums up how I'd like to see my parents anniversary celebration.

photo came from this charming wedding.

well wishes

my parents golden anniversary is coming up this year and my sister's and I are planning a party to honor of them. one of the ideas that i loved while browsing through the second issue of Nonpareil was the wishing tree. such a sweet idea that allows guests to write their well wishes for the couple.

colorful details...

like this almost make me want to get married again (to the cute same boy of course ; )  so pretty!
