Month: December 2014

My lovely sister got married over this past weekend! I couldn’t be happier to have stand right next to my best friend as she ties the knot. The entire weekend was a blast! I am still high in spirits from the weekend and can’t stop laughing about some hilarious moments. Not only was the wedding so much fun, it was really beautiful and the food was OH.MY.GOD amazing! Planning a wedding is no walk in the park, but my mom and sister did a wonderful job! Here are some highlights from the weekend.
My sister and I on the party bus heading to the church!
Champagne is always a good idea!
How cute is this sign that my aunt’s made for my sister and her husband!
Best chicken I have ever tasted– honestly! The hors d’oeurves and cupcakes were so so so yummy as well! 
Her flowers were beautiful!
She gave all of us bridesmaids a bracelet and a pair of earrings from Kate Spade! I will definitely be wearing these a lot!
Our dresses were so darling! Each one of us picked out a different style.

A little fun fact about me: I have never held a job where I was not allowed to wear sequins…..Yes, I know, I live a blessed life. Although, I may not always take full advantage of the sparkly attire as much as I should, but when I do, it brings out the Liza Minnelli in me. It has been a while since I have worn sequins and now that New Year’s Eve is a few days away, I am pretty excited to sparkle and shine.  I have a few choices on standby, but you can never have too many sequin outfits.

Wishing you a wonderful and happy Christmas filled with lots of love, laughter, and yummy sweets!
This year is a little different with a low-key Christmas celebration. My sister is getting married this weekend (!!!) and we are taking today to relax before things get really crazy. Normally we rush around, brunch at my parents house, presents at my grandmothers house, then dinner at my Aunt and Uncle’s, but this year we are doing something small at my parents house. 
Each year we have a wrapping competition. There is a always a theme (this year it is “your favorite thing”) and you get only one present to decorate on. Then we all vote for our favorite! It has been a tradition of ours for many years and it’s one of my favorite parts of Christmas.
Hope you are having a joyous day so far!
Merry Christmas and lots of love,
Blush and Blooms

If you are like me then you probably want your New Years Eve night to look a little like this: a sequin dress, a bottle (or two) of champagne, and a huge dance party in your apartment by yourself. If you couldn’t tell I am not a fan of the big confetti filled night, not because of what surrounds it, but because I haven’t had the best of times when it comes to this evening (one in particular was one of the worst nights of my life), so I never look forward to it. Ok enough with being a Debbie Downer, I do love all of the confetti and glitter, the champagne filled flutes, the excitement of the countdown, the reassurance of a fresh new start, and spending the evening with friends. If you are hosting a big party to countdown to the new year or a small get together with close friends, here are some fun decor and accessory ideas to help you yell 3…2…1. 
Cheers my dears! How darling are these cute cups from Martha Stewart’s American Made Sucre Shop!

Give everyone their own mini champagne bottle! Everyone will thank you that they will not have to share.
Take lots and lots of photos with these fun party picks!
I can’t say no to a party headband 🙂
Time to drink champagne! Prints always make the party a little more fun and festive!
A party really isn’t a party without garland. Hang this “Happy New Year” banner up and get the party started!
