New Job

by Meredith

Excuse yet another delay on my blogging.  Last week I accepted a new job at Manhattan Toy, a botique toy manufacturer in downtown Minneapolis.  I'll be the in-house marketing and public relations specialist.

This adds yet another change to the books for 2013.  But, I'm excited because it's the perfect time for a career change - I'm looking for more growth, new challenges and a few new faces.  I'll pick up my blog editorial soon. Promise.

DIY Bouquets

by Meredith

I'm thinking about making my own bouquets this summer with flowers from a small business I love at the Minneapolis Farmer Market.  You can plan ahead and create a custom order, then pick them up the day before the wedding.  Then I could create my own bouquets and centerpieces.  It can't be that hard, right?

I've found a lot of videos and tips online and in magazines, but any other suggestions?  Have you tried it before?  I want to know how it went.

Now on to place settings...  below are some of my favorites.  Nothing I want to copy exactly, but I will use pieces from each.

Jesse and I love to travel, so this theme is perfect.
