Pretty Horses & Weddings

Growing up, my family and I would take summer vacation trips to Colorado to my Aunt and Uncle’s ranch in Ridgway, about 39 miles away from Telluride.  My favorite activity while we were there was horseback riding.  If you’re a horse lover like myself, I think you’ll love the incorporation of these horses in weddings.

Flower Friday

Happy Friday!  I hope you all had a great Valentine’s Day yesterday and spent time with the ones you love.

Here’s some pretty tulips I picked up from Trader Joe’s last week; they’re still looking as good as ever.

I made this simple little love banner to wrap around the tulips…

I’m not ready to take all the Valentine’s decorations down yet, they can stay up a little longer 🙂

Have a fabulous weekend friends!

♥,

Kris

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Happy Valentine’s Day friends!  Any fun and exciting plans?  Ryan has been feeling under the weather lately, so we’re going to be postponing Valentine’s Day celebrations until he gets better.  Looks like I’ll be making tacos tonight, staying in, taking care of the hubs, and snuggling with little Soph… still not a bad night!

Here’s a shot from our engagement session last year in Laguna Beach.  I loved our sign from Brandy at Baybee Dahl Boutique, and it works out perfectly for today!

Conversation Hearts Valentine Decor

Did you remember that Valentine’s Day is tomorrow?  I did!  Last weekend I did some decorating, and played around with Brach’s conversation hearts, you know those little pastel candies that you received in elementary school from your friends?  I used my LOVE cake topper I bought from Lisa Leonard Designs and viola- a cute Valentine decor piece for your coffee table or counter.

Super simple!

Still have some hearts leftover?  Here are a few more fun and easy crafts you can make using conversation heart candies:

I never realized how many different uses these little hearts could have!  Hope everyone has a great time decorating and getting ready for Valentine’s Day, you only have one day left so hurry!
