Blush Events Blog - The Amee Farm

I’ve been having a love affair with paper for as long as I can remember. When I was a girl you could give me a block of construction paper and some scissors and you wouldn’t see me for days. As an adult I love to scrapbook and make cards and I fashion myself a pretty paper connoisseur.

The creator behind these sculptures is, very simply, a genius; please enjoy these custom cake toppers by Concarta.

Custom work {and my favourite!}::

This was created for a 65th wedding anniversary::

Pets!::

And bouquets of course!::

Hi. - 27 Aug 2010, 8:42 pm

It’s been a long time.

Hi.

You know that point in a friendship where you feel like it’s been so long since you spoke to a friend that it just might be too late to reconnect? You’re afraid to pick up the phone for fear that you’ll be rejected? Or berated? Or scolded, or criticized or told off?

I’ve missed my blog. I’ve missed her terribly actually. I don’t really want to get into all of the reasons why I went astray. Let’s just say that I felt it necessary to take pause.

And now, just like I was hoping, my desire to blog has returned. I can’t say I’ll be around all the time. I can’t say if the passion will return. I can’t say if things will change or stay the same. I can’t say what is going to happen.

I can say that I will blog for me. I can say that I will try to revive the motivation that led me to launch this blog in the first place. I can say that I’ll blog about pretty things and things that make me happy.

So… hi. Hi to my blog. Hi to anyone that still visits this blog.

And thank you.

Sunday Pic :: Valentine - 14 Feb 2010, 4:05 pm

I know we've all seen this photo by Jessica Claire but it's so apropos for this lovey dovey day.

*I love paper hearts. I love my husband. I love cookies and cupcakes. I love my mom and my dad and my sister. I love my friends. I love my puppy/niece, Miss Sophie Sopherson. I love people who love dogs. I love good books that you just can't put down. I love farmers markets. I love good huggers. I love trying new restaurants. I love action movies. I love chick movies. I love the snooze button. I love songs that trigger a good memory. I love driving through big puddles. I love mechanical pencils and pink pens. I love love.*

*In no particular order.

Valentine's Gifts! - 13 Feb 2010, 8:30 pm

Just for fun I thought I would put together a list of things I'd like for Valentine's Day. I am not high maintenance. I just like pretty things. Pretty things that happen to be expensive. No pressure though.

Poppy Signature Wristlet in silver/melon/magenta from Coach; Miss Chacha in red silk by none other than Christian Louboutin; Sexy Little Things I Love You Corset courtesy of Victoria’s Secret; A big fat kiss*; My Unique Stack of Tiffany Celebration Rings from Tiffany & Co. {the Tiffany Swing Three-Row Ring, flanked by two channel set bands. Yay!}; Dark Chocolate Lace Heart Box from Ladureé {I would wish it be filled with their signature macarons please! For the flavours I would choose... chocolate, bitter chocolate, vanilla, coffee, pistachio, raspberry, another raspberry, caramel with salted butter, red fruits, coconut, mint, praline, chocolate with cherry, chocolate with passionfruit, blueberry, another chocolate. And another raspberry. I really, really loved the raspberry!}

*I know that this is a chick kiss but a guy’s kiss doesn’t make as pretty a picture. No offense.

I love you SexyHusband! Thank you for being my everyday Valentine. And... don't worry if you don't buy me one of these gifts for Valentine's Day, my birthday is right around the corner.

Custom Comics - 1 Jun 2009, 9:00 am

I'm a fan of anything interesting, original, and personal, and even more so if I can incorporate it into a wedding, so when I saw these custom comic strips from Mark Weber on Elsewares all I could think about was how to use this for a wedding! Your proposal story as a comic would make a great save-the-date. Or, if you know a couple well enough you could have their story told in a comic and give it to them as a wedding gift! The possibilities are endless! Neat!

Ringpillows + Headbands - 22 May 2009, 11:14 am

Oh so pretty! I love flowers. Real, fresh, beautiful flowers. I'm not entirely fond of a silk flowers, unless they are of unbelieveably incredible quality. I quite like paper flowers if they are spectacularly simple. And, I now love felt flowers. You will too...

Amy Atlas Dessert Table - 26 Mar 2009, 11:22 am

A little while ago Amy Atlas of Amy Atlas Events contacted me to let me know she had added a link to my blog from hers. Eeeep! I was so flattered with the lovely surprise! So thank you Amy! I’ve returned the favour.

In case you don’t know, the incomparable Amy Atlas is an event planner from New York City that specializes in candy and dessert tables. I did a feature on Amy back in October which you can revisit here :: Her Mod, Candy Shop, Birthday, and Bridal Brunch dessert tables. ~sigh~

I visited Amy’s website yesterday and noticed she added some photos to her gallery and naturally I couldn’t resist posting them! This table was created for Claudia Hanlin’s The Wedding Library.

How sweet it is!

Thanks again Amy! Visit Amy's blog Sweet Designs for more goodness.

Detail :: Boy's Ring Girl's Wrist - 25 Feb 2009, 11:43 am

I came across the loveliest idea! This comes from the wedding of peonies.and.polaroids. Determined to do what felt right, she and her betrothed liked the idea of each looking after the other’s ring until the ceremony. They were never able to understand how or why the best man* came to be in possession of the wedding rings, or a four year old boy*, or a dog for that matter*!

As there weren’t any pockets on her dress trying it around her wrist seemed like the best idea. She had someone tie it on just before the ceremony so there wasn't time for the knot to come undone and for her to lose it, then when we get to the ring exchange The Boy helped her untie it.

*Forever diplomatic I would like to state that there is nothing wrong with these ideas! Just one girl’s opinion.

Oscar White - 23 Feb 2009, 11:08 am

We watch Hollywood for the latest in fashion styles and trends and Oscar night is the ultimate exhibition. Last night the trend that was hard not to notice was the collection of white dresses that graced the red carpet. I can't help but think these silhouettes will end up in bridal salons next year.
