This is such a great idea for someone who is throwing a Dr. Seuss themed event! I know I am going to do a “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” Christmas Party this year!

Got some great items from the Burlington Antique Fair today! They look great in my American Can loft!

I try not to re-blog too many things, but this is such a great alternative to the standard centerpiece!

DIY Pegboard Centerpiece and Ombre Plasti Dip Silverware from Style Me Pretty here. There is a tutorial for the dipped silverware (and better yet, if you don’t like it, the plastic coating peels off). *Also there is an article on these projects on the Home Depot site with cost saving ideas and prices for the materials used here. Photography by Jasmine Star for Style Me Pretty. More Plasti-Dip posts here.

So instead of the typical floral centerpiece, why not try a push pop arrangement! This is a great idea for a modern bride who wants something original. This idea also works for other events as well.

Remember, always look for the unusual! Following this simple rule will ensure your event is a success.

So a good friend of mine and her boyfriend love to ride their bikes and they want to incorporate this shared love in their wedding. So they asked me to come up with a unique, but not overt, idea and this instantly came to mind. Using two or three of these wheels to hang place cards is a great way of discreetly showing their love for cycling.

Remember, always look for the unusual! Following this simple rule will ensure your event is a success.

I cannot believe that I have not made an event related post in so long. So here I go.

For your next event, try doing something other than a floral arrangement. Be original and unique.

I know I have not posted in a while but it is because I am trying to get my new place in order. What do you think so far?

Photo on the right is from one of my posts back in April, nice to know that I am not alone in using unique items for centerpieces. Cool!

I love these chairs. The one on the left, I bought, but the one on the right was free from work. These two chairs go perfectly with my new loft apartment.
