Creative Centerpieces Using Rose Bowls

One of the most available, inexpensive and underrated centerpieces is the rose or ivy bowl. It's a small "fish bowl" with a scalloped lip. It's the perfect size for a round or oblong table, used in groups or by itself.

Centerpiece with Gerberas & Orchids

You can come up with some really creative ideas for using rose bowls at your next party–whatever the occasion.

Here are some ideas:

1. Fill the bowl with blue colored water, about halfway up. Set a yellow rubber duck in the water and nest the bowl in a blue or yellow hand towel for a cute baby shower centerpiece.

2. Fill the bowl with water and add half or whole slices of lemons, limes and oranges and one brightly colored Gerbera daisy for a festive, summer party, wedding shower or birthday party.

3. Add iridescent marbles and a pink rubber duck and swirl pink satin ribbon around the base for a baby shower or little girls' birthday party.

4. Use sand or dirt and toy trucks for a boys' birthday party.

5. Add a simple votive candle, then tie a small part of a decorative hula skirt around the base  for a luau party.

6. Fill with cotton balls, a bottle or two of nail polish, emery board, clippers, etc. for older girls' slumber or spa party.

7. For a practical centerpiece, gather eating utensils, roll up with a napkin and tie with ribbon for a picnic or backyard barbeque.

8. The classic use: fill halfway with water and add a single-bloomed rose for a tea or garden party.

9. Add aromatic coffee beans and a white votive candle for a casual dinner party.

10. Fill with several princess wands and swirl a feather boa at the base for a princess birthday party.

4 Inspired Ideas For A Glamorous Fall Wedding

The days of Summer will soon be coming to a close, which means fall is right around the corner.  So what better way to celebrate than with a fall wedding, right? There's so much you can do with the colors, centerpieces, favors and food to bring that seasonal element into your lavish wedding.  Here are a few irresistible fall trends that are so fun and chic!

Color Palette

Color can define the bride (You!) and the theme of your spectacular wedding.  It can set the tone you want to achieve at the wedding ceremony and reception.  With so many vibrant and luscious fall hues to pick from, you won't know where to begin.

First off, define you.  Are you the timeless, classic bride, the lavish bride or a little bit more modern?  Whatever personality style, there are rich color combos for every bride.  Browns, rich orange, yellows and deep reds fit a more classical bride.  A more luxuriously formal setting might include golds, metallic or luscious purples.  And for the more contemporary bride, you might go with black and burnt orange, yellow, or even Halloween colors!  You can even think outside-of-the-box to select the colors you want, maybe pairing shades of pink and yellow?

All these fall wedding colors sound amazing!  However, just remember to choose the colors that define you because that's what will make your wedding a huge success!

A Picture Perfect Engagement

The proposal is a huge part of the whole wedding process.  It's the start of something amazing and something you'll remember forever.  So, whenever we hear a good engagement story we all

The Photobooth Proposal
fall in love with the couple.  It gives us a glimpse into how they are as a couple.  Some people think back to their proposal, while some look forward to theirs hoping its half as good.  So, as soon as I stumbled upon a great proposal I just had to share it on Wedding and Party Network.

Of course, one night on Facebook I saw a photo album with the word engagement.  If I see the word engagement anything, I click on it.  It was Kate, she is an amazing and fun person and right then I was super excited.  I know her wedding details will be unbelievable.  As soon as I saw how Justin proposed I messaged her immediately, crossed my fingers and hoped that she would let me share her uhh-mazzzingg proposal.  Thankfully, she said yes and gave me all the details.  I'm a sucker for unique and romantic proposals and I'm sure I have some that will agree with me too.

Justin and Kate's Engagement Story

First off, Justin and Kate met on eHarmony.  They were matched on August 18, 2009 and talked on the internet for about 2 weeks before officially planning their first date on September 2, 2009.  There was an instant connection and great chemistry on their first date.  Kate remembers calling her mom to tell her that she was going to marry him one day.  How amazing is that?   Knowing he's the one after their very first date and I'm sure he felt the same way is so amazing and rare!  After hearing how they met, you know that the proposal and especially the wedding will be unique and beautiful down to the last detail.

So, on to the proposal!  They had planned a vacation to visit his family for the first part of the trip and hers last.  They were on the last leg of the trip to visit Kate's family on July 8, 2010, which they had arranged for just her mom to pick them up from the airport.  On the way towards home, her mom suggested that it might be a "great" idea for Justin to tour the Mall of America.  They all agreed since there wouldn't be

Picture Perfect Engagement!
enough time later in the trip to visit it.  Kate was pretty much whatever about it and didn't really mind going.  Best of all, she was completely clueless about what was going to happen at that mall.

Justin and Kate were walking around and "happened" to stumble upon a photobooth.  Now, before I go any further, they absolutely LOVE photobooths!  They have a ton of photobooth pictures together that they have found at a variety of locations.  Justin even hopped in one by himself for Valentine's Day with signs that said "I Love You Kate."  So creative and such a fun thing to share.  Okay, back to the story.  Justin immediately said, "We have to get a picture," and of course she was easily convinced.  They hopped in, picked out their background, got situated and hit the start button.  The next thing Kate knows is that Justin is down on one knee proposing.  In complete shock, she responds, "Are you serious?!".  Of course, she said YES even though she was still in complete and utter shock and thrilled at the same time.  The best part?  When she finally stumbled out of the photbooth, her entire family was there cheering and celebrating.  They had planned EVERYTHING out the week before, including touring the mall, stumbling upon the photobooth and having her family hide.  Kate had no idea!  It was an absolute perfect proposal and an amazing photo to add to their photobooth pictures.

Absolute true love is what they have found.  This couple is so much fun and absolutely wonderful that I know they will have an amazing marriage from the beginning till forever.  I'm so glad they let me share their wonderful engagement story for everyone to enjoy and I can't wait to see their gorgeous wedding details on May 28, 2011.
