Currently Inspired ByImage found on Style-Files
I love the painted LOVE on this headboard. Not only is it a great piece for a guest bedroom, but I’m currently inspired by how to transform it to your wedding.
If you are having a rustic wedding, this would be perfect as:
Backdrop behind your escort cards
Part of your ceremony backdrop
And then to transform it to other tables, try painting table numbers or different words on small square planks to lean against your centerpieces.

Simply & Forever – Elegant Decay #14I have been dying to share with you on this exciting Wednesday Wednesday a Blog around the world idea, cooked up by Valley & Co, one that will surely become one of the best Wedding Wednesdays of all time! So join all of us in the #TWIPS and #ElegantDecay blogosphere on an AMAZING treasure hunt today!
What makes a great party you ask? To me you need to ask yourself what kind of experience do you want your guests to have? Turning your personalities and loves in life into a party that everyone will enjoy can mean anything from the food that is served, the music that is playing, to the visual elements of the day like linens, paper goods and flowers.
In my Elegant Decay picture that I get to share with you all below, I picture an intimate table of friends sharing stories over a glass of wine and food. Light dinner music has been playing but now that dinner is over, it starts transitioning into fun and energetic music that everyone wants to jump up and dance to. But you KNOW they are coming back that very first dance break in order to try that tasty chocolate cake! (we all know me and chocolate so that is for sure a definite!) To me this is an event that will always be remembered by your guests, and this table just captures that warmness and the love completely.
We’re Aleah + Nick Valley of Valley & Co. and we’re so excited to partner with some of our most favorite blogosphere friends for this Blog Around the World: Elegant Decay post! Today you’re invited to a worldwide scavenger hunt on these awesome blogs where you’ll find snippets of our Elegant Decay photo shoot, designed to show off the after effects of a celebration: fun! We all spend so long putting together amazing designs and table scapes for our couples, and this shows off the end result {and the most important element}: enjoyment. We hope you enjoy this – thank you to all of our friends for participating and be sure to visit these other fabulous blogs for more photos, ideas, tips, and fun!

Thursday ShoesdayOk… let’s just pretend for a moment that the above says Tuesday Shoesday. Yes, I’m a bit belated so Tuesday is now Thursday, hence Thursday Shoesday. Let’s look at this beauty of a wedding from Kim Le Photography, I’m a sucker for a wedding with a lot of individual details.
We’ll start with the Shoesday picture first, and these are one of my favorite shades of blue ever!
And because it’s Thursday, and because this wedding is too stinkin cute, I had to share this detail from their wedding; LEGO FIGURES! You’ll have to check out Kim Le Photography‘s blog to see more amazing details as well.
Seriously, that is the coolest and most unique boutonniere that I have EVER seen!

Candy JelliesImage by The Pearson Familee as found on Giver’s Log
I love jellies, they are probably one of my favorite sweets from growing up! To me, this would be perfect for a number of occasions. It would be perfect for a birthday party for kids, taking jellies and arranging them as favors for all of the guests. But what I really love, is if you look in the top right of this picture, Lisa from The Pearson Familee blog has stuck the jellies on the rims of the glasses. To me that is a perfect accessory for the bartender at your event to stick on every glass. It will make for colorful pictures and a little sweet ending to each drink.
Happy Wednesday!
