Worst Pinterest Idea Ever

I'm not gonna lie, I'm Pinterest-obsessed, both personally and for the biz. I'm constantly looking for the next best thing. 

My husband loathes Pinterest. It may be because I'm always finding a new project for him...like wallpapering our dining room ceiling. Seriously, so amazing, thanks Pinterest!

Anyway, while I find a ton of really amazing wedding ideas on there, there are some pretty bad ones. I recently came across this not-so-good idea and had to share. Seriously, it has to be the WORST idea EVER. And it's sprinkles.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE sprinkles, it's one of my favorite ice cream toppings. 

But this "pinner" wanted to have it thrown at her on her wedding day. And by thrown I mean like how you throw rice, rose petals, etc, etc, after the ceremony.

Please DON'T. 

Ever notice the color of your sprinkles always ends up on your ice cream? Yeah, the color runs. 

Especially when it's hot. 

Even if it's not a hot day, think about the sprinkles, grasped in your guests hands, waiting to be thrown... they WILL get sweaty and hot just from that. This will lead to some melting. Melting = the color's going to run. Imagine them getting thrown at you and getting stuck on your dress. Then imagine you taking them off. Guess what's left? Color. In the shade of your pretty sprinkles.

Even if the color "only" runs onto people's hands, which is doubtful, what happens when they try to hug you? 

You mine as well just do this now.

Bottom line. Steer clear of throwing sprinkles on your wedding day. It is NOT a good idea.

I thought March was a wedding planners down time?

What a busy week this has been! In fact, this entire month has been nonstop action. Our schedule has been jam-packed with weddings and meetings. This past week we had the pleasure of designing an amazing tablescape focusing on one super popular pattern for Westchester Magazine's big annual bridal issue. I had such a blast designing this totally out of the box concept and I can't wait to show it off! In the meantime, here's a little preview of part of the main centerpiece!

The issue hits stands in November so stay tuned :)

Fairytales ARE Real

It's snowing like crazy outside. Thankfully, we have no wedding scheduled for this weekend. What luck, right?!

Meetings after 2PM today have been cancelled and ALL meetings tomorrow have also been cancelled due to the storm. We will be in touch to reschedule if we haven't already.

Meanwhile, I'm traveling back in my mind to a place a little less snowy...

Last September, while vacationing in Spain (Barcelona and Madrid to be exact), Madrid really captured my heart. It really is a fairytale city come to life - full of magical places and palaces galore.

In fact, during our stay, we actually stayed in an old palace that was transformed to a hotel. The history (and service) were amazing.

Right around the corner from our former palace, the streets were adorned with little shops, fountains, an amazing park, and the infamous Prado Museum.

Take a romantic stroll to the current palace. You will pass squares that seem to come straight out of a storybook. 

And once you get to the palace, the magic really leaps off the pages.

So I say head to Barcelona if you're looking for that "modern" and "party" atmosphere, but for something truly romanic and old world, pack your bags for Madrid, a promising unforgettable time filled with your very own happily ever after!

I guess it's back to real life and the crazy snow!!
