Holiday Weekend Fun!

Portable Folding Grill Table from Simplyrustic for $110.00

Monday officially starts the grilling season. And what does any groom love better than grills, some juicy steaks and ice cold beer. (Vegetarians: bocca burgers do apply!) Here are some fun (and useful) bbq products on Etsy - LOVE THEM - to kick off your holiday!

Wild Western vintage cowboy labels on a variety of sauces. Great for bbq wedding or rehearsal dinner favors! From Handykane.

Gourmet bbq rub spice kit. Another great favor - and you don't have to have bbq at the wedding to appreciate it! Only $16.00 from Purpose Design.

This necklace is absoltely hilarious. If you buy this, please send me a picture and I will post it. I think it is adorable and scary all at the same time :-) PinkHelloKitty

Reward your groom's inner griller. This apron with a t-bone pocket is great to store your grill tongs in between flips! Find it in the Snappyshop.

A caddy of bbq rubs perfect for favors. Pictured is zesty pork rub and smokin creole rub. Find this and more from Basil and Things.

Enjoy your holiday weekend! Having a Memorial Day Weekend wedding? Share your pictures!

Quick Update: Plum Party

A new product from Plum Party: Table Toss Combinations! The sets are "unique reusable, disposable placemats and table top accessories." I've posted pictures of their pre-fab sets above, but everything also comes separately for you to create your own. They are made with a Latex-based paper, so you can wipe everything clean and use it again.

Perfect for a shower, to dress up a special dinner (meeting of the parents anyone), or however you choose!

See the full collection here.

Quick Update: Cute Gifts from Sephora

Wondering what you can give as a shower favor? At the bridal luncheon? Or as part of your bridesmaids' gifts? I just saw this adorable new product from Sephora. Are you thinking about going green with your wedding - or just always looking for small ways that you can help the environment?

Check out Sephora's new PlantLove (TM) Botanical Lipstick. It comes in 15 shades and is about $20.

WHAT IS THE BEST PART:

Just moisten the tube, PLANT it and you have a bouquet of wildflower! The outer carton is made of flower paper embedded with seeds.

WHAT IS EVEN BETTER:
$2 from ever sale will be donated to the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital!

Quick Update: Bloombox

I just received the August e-newsletter from Whitney at Bloombox. I wanted to share some of the great pictures in their gallery. Bloombox is a cool alternative to the standard glass vase. It is a 100% recyclable, box with interior heavy-duty plastic liner. You pop open the box (they ship flat), put in the bag, fill with water and arrange your blooms.

They now have a ton of accessories to customize along with your color scheme - including belly bands that go around the middle of the box and boas that go around the top of the box. They also now carry Blumebuds, which are buds vases and place cards at the same time!

What I love most about these is that you can really be creative. If you are crafty or artistic (or someone in your family or wedding party is) you can do just about anything with these boxes and really personalize them for your day! They are also inexpensive and you don't have the hassle of trying to figure out what to do with 40 glass vases after the wedding!

Check out some of the images below. You can find more at http://www.blumebox.com/ and you can sign up for their monthly newsletter!
