I love peonies too at a party (or anywhere, for that matter). Tulips too. A fun thing that I do is go out to my garden (a little hard to do in the winter, although the boxwood is always available) and pick whatever is blooming. It makes a beautiful bouquet and a great conversation piece!
ReplyDeleteI long for the day to have a garden full of flowers that I can cut and bring inside :)
DeleteI just absolutely love,love,love the poppies, wanted to print for summer frame for counter top in 'new kitchen'. But, couldn't capture the vibrance of your photo. BooHoo!! So enjoy your blog.
ReplyDeleteHi sringergirl! I haven't used poppies yet. I will have to put them on the list to try :). Thanks for the comment and hanks for stopping by my blog.
DeleteI love peonies too, they smell fantastic. For parties I also can`t resist baby roses. I like your striped tray, balloons and blue ice bucket tres chic. But what no bday cake to show? Was hoping to see something yummy and delicious!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated bday.

Hi Mikky! Thanks for the birthday wishes over on COCOCOZY! I do have shot of the birthday cake but it was at night and the picture wasn't good enough for the blog. I did a pink ombre icing cake. 1/2 vanilla and 1/2 chocolate inside. I will have to pin it to my pinterest party prep board so you can check it out. It was SO yummy!!!
Deletexo
