I kind of feel like this post should be over on Backstage! But since it’s not, here goes …
I was having a bit of a tough time getting into the holiday spirit. Lots of family stuff going on. Way backed up at work. (I’ve got a very understanding boss, though.) I was looking for some serious winter inspiration (which would mean going into last years’ weddings) and I happened upon Beautiful Blooms’ blog. And whoa! What I saw … Simple eloquent beauty … the absolute jump start that I really needed to remember how great it is to ‘deck my own halls’!
I literally stopped in my tracks and just smiled. One of those ah-ha- moments!

After seeing these holiday arrangements from Beautiful Blooms, my juices are flowing and I’m ready to hit my local florist for bunches and bunches of lovelies! I KNOW I can’t even come close to creating the beauties that Donna does, but that’s not going to stop me! I love flowers. I love color. I have ALL SORTS of containers. I’m all set!
However … since this is the LBB blog and I’m supposed to be all about weddings, I should also say that I can totally see YOUR December wedding overflowing with these designs from Beautiful Blooms! Just imagine, rows and rows, or mini-clusters of simple, sentimental blooms in clever, colorful containers for centerpieces all over the place!
When I told Donna that her blog post was just what I needed today, she sent me a few more photos … here are a couple of shots from their Boutique (just around the corner from the design studio) …
Super cute, aren’t they?
You know, they kind of do it all now from design and decor to floral, draping, lighting and details. Honestly ~ you need to take a look!
Thanks Donna for my own one-on-one pick-me-up and for awakening the joy that I knew was deep down inside me! I DO love Christmas so much! We really hope to see more of your holiday delights in the next few weeks!!
