Pirate Theme Party Costumes-What your swashbucklers can wear!
To really make any theme come alive for your guests, especially children, offer dress up pieces they can choose from upon arrival.  A pirate hat is a must! You can craft hats from black construction paper or use the sturdier Pirate Felt Hat. Complete the look with a pirate eye patch, easily made from pieces of scrap material and Divine Twine to tie it all together. Repurpose some old t-shirts by decorating them with

Palm Leaf Tableware might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of eco-friendly tableware. It is definitely a unique option that will make your tables stand out. Since Palm Leaf Tableware might not be on your eco-friendly radar, we’re going to tell you more about it!

About Palm Leaf Tableware 

Palm Leaf Tableware is made from fallen palm leaves. This is a completely natural by-product of areca palm trees, saving the leaves from being burned and wasted! Since every palm leaf looks a little different, every palm leaf plate has a different pattern. Palm leaf tableware is great because it has a natural and rustic look that definitely more classy and unique than typical paper or plastic plates.

Hello my perky planners and bridal babes, let’s talk Halloween weddings. Now I know most of you aren’t interested in skulls, black cats, and witch hats as your wedding motifs but you can still incorporate the spirit of Halloween into your wedding by focusing on the dress-up aspect of October 31^st.  A va-va-vintage theme is the best way make a Halloween wedding a fun costume event while avoiding looking like a children’s party. Some people don't realize that you can have a green wedding that doesn't take place in a garden or forest. Glam girls & guys can be green too! Think Cary Grant, Marilyn Monroe, James Dean or Audrey Hepburn for style inspiration. 

Winter has definitely descended on the US and as the temperature has dropped, my excitement about sharing some great eco-chic winter wedding tips has heated up. There are so many themes that work so well for weddings held in December, January & February, that I had a hard time paring down my list to just 5 to share with you.

There are two basic winter wedding design camps. You can either choose to focus on cool colors & ideas – snow, ice blue & silver, etc. or you can concentrate on bright and warm motifs like hot chocolate, roaring fires & Christmas lights.

Step 1 - Paint Your Pinecones

I used white paint and glitter - red or green paint would look nice as well. I suggest going eco-friendly and making your very own natural paint - Make Safe & Natural Paint

Once you have your paint ready, you just need a small brush to paint your pinecones. 

Step 2 - Tie Them with Twine/Yarn

Never been to a cookie swap party? Well now is the perfect time to get in with this modern twist to an old favorite. Winter is the perfect season for gathering with friends old and new to celebrate with, well, cookies and cocktails.

Why a Cookie Swap?

Because they’re fun and yummy! Cookie swaps have been occurring for decades – whether exchanged with your neighbors or at a local community gathering. Although most people relate these to the holiday season, you can tailor an event for your own personal cookie swap meet any time of year.

What better way to kick it up a notch than to add cocktails to the “mix” and really liven up the party? Beverages can be make-your-own or custom-tailored to the evening’s theme. If you’re feeling adventurous, you could even serve cookie-themed cocktails!
