{Pretty I See's Own} Almost Married

This happily ever after celebrates a couples shower for our "Stormtrooper Chris Charming" and his "Snow Wifey-to-be" Sharon.  Pretty I See's passion is to personalize each event, so we thought what better way to do so by incorporating two of the couple's favorite and most loved Disney characters by marrying the two.  Enter The Dark Side meets Snow White and Pretty I See meets reinvention. 

Personalized with the couple's engagement photo shoot pictures...
can you say "awww".





 

Pretty I See's own handmade chandelier including an old necklace

 we've re-purposed! True testimony, anything can be

 recycled, reused, and reinvented.





Who would've known love would unite Snow White and a Storm Trooper.
Thank you Dru for drawing the silhouettes for us....



We hung the couple's photos and doiles attached to ribbons
 from the windows. The silhouettes came out perfectly.



Don't dismiss the dollar aisle and an old garment rack,
they can end up a great frame lattice!





Now that's a way to bring love together.
We're so happy to share in their love.

{Sweet Fridays} A Mini House of Treats

Can we live here forever!

They're so pretty to stare at, but not for long. Eventually we'll cave in and devour them, but not without sharing the sweetness first.

{Tiny and Precious. But this time We're not talking about babies}

It's the little things in life that can create the biggest smiles. Maybe trying something different this holiday season isn't such a bad idea. Telling someone you love them definitely isn't.  And, if you’re near the Bay Area, you can actually visit the World’s Smallest Post Office in person.

The kids were squealing with absolute delight...but don't worry we didn't forget about the adults.  They also went home with some goodies!  It was a sweet ending to a beautiful day! Have a look at how the dessert table turned out!  

Aiden's dessert table....the hand-made bow ties were a hit...
we made about twenty something extra. The kids looked so cute
 wearing the extra large bow ties as pins and hairpins!



Personalized building block we made to tie the theme together...





Building blocks are so versatile...all you need is some paint!
The mini bow tie cupcake toppers on to of the lime cupcakes were
 so easy to make...and did we mention...they're budget-friendly!

{Viewmaster Wedding Invites}

We're feeling a tad bit nostalgic about these Viewmaster Wedding Invites.  Created by Mélangerie Inc, a Brooklyn, New York-based studio, the viewmaster invite includes 7 of your high-res images along with your brief description of each, which is then put on a custom picture reel and insert card set up as slides.  They take about six to eight weeks for them to make and ship back to you.

Definitely a unique way to invite your guests to your special occasion.   Kinda pricey than a normal wedding invitation but who can resist them...they're one-of a kind!

{Pretty I See's Own} Yummy In My Tummy

Seems like the Summer is wedding season galore, but we definitely don't mind at all. We're huge fans of personalization, family and love, and so we jumped at the chance to turn our inspiration and passion into a handful of memories. Weddings are a whirlwind of crazy, but we always know crazy can be amazing. That's exactly what Jenna and Andrew's wedding at the Kohl Mansion turned out to be.   

Loved how the Wedding Tree turned out...We lucked out that
the Groom was an artist...too bad his talent doesn't grow
 on trees for the taking.



We asked the couple in secret to define each other...
"Jenna defined by HIM" and Andrew defined by HER"



Fondue knickknacks!

Yummy In My Tummy set the right theme for the dessert table




Homemade S'mores...swept away like lightning!

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Congratulations Jenna and Andrew and thank you both for letting

 Pretty I See be part of your special day...xoxo

{Idea Bucket} 30 Ways to Catch a Smile on Your Birthday

We figure we'd share something from pretty i see's {Idea Bucket} because birthdays are great, but finding the right present can cause heartache. Why not change it up this time around and give someone something money can't buy.

Something unexpected can definitely be something unexpectedly amazing. Birthdays are meant to be celebrated, and yes, it's A-okay to tell people what you want. All I wanted was 30 balloons, but who knew those helium-filled balloons could really lift my spirits. And talk about unexpected, I got 30 things I didn't need to wish for. 

30 balloons, each one filled with messages and memories from only my nearest and dearest, and one pin needle turned into 30 smiles, 30 laughs, 30 happy tears, and one fab way to dive into the next century of life.
