Good Morning again, loves! It's finally Friday and you know what that means?! It's the first official weekend of summer! As you're all getting ready to head out to the pool, beach, or basically anywhere else that is slam packed with other people, take a moment to rest your eyes on a perfect therapeutic color palette. As the summer is here, I will be finding some brighter colors to inspire us in the sunshine, but this week has been crazy and all I have been able to think of is getting a good night of sleep! So I decided on the calming elements of lavender. This popular, light, dusty shade of purple is very versatile. It can be made playful for a daytime wedding by adding shades of yellow, or dressed up with deeper shades of purple, such as plum. For today, I wanted to stick with the organic, natural-ness of it. So I chose to pair it with sage & mauve, both equally calm colors. 

So before you start checking off your busy schedule, relax! After all, it is Friday! Dab a bit of lavender-scented oil on your wrists, and let the visual stress-relief begin!

Good Morning Everyone! Alisha again, so glad to be back at the cafe on this fine Tuesday morning! The theme I have for you all today is inspired by vintage skeleton keys. 

Whether you are looking for an entire themed wedding, a sweet, graphic motif to accent, an inspirational meaning, or to just add a little vintage feel to your big day, I think this montage of key-inspiration should do the trick in unlocking your imagination :-) 

Everyone likes the unique, vintage feel of these keys. I think it is the inner romantic in all of us because as cheesy as it sounds -we all want to marry the one who holds the key to our heart- and as much as a lot of us hate to be cheesy, we love the idea. So, all cheesiness aside, I hope you enjoy today's post and are inspired to add a little old fashioned romance to your decor!
