I know there has been a lot of talk about the young actors who hosted the Oscars last night. But how do you think Anne Hathaway and James Franco did? For me, I thought Anne stole the show, well along with Kirk Douglas and the adorable PS22 kids! James Franco just didn't seem to be there, except for when he came out dressed in drag! I'm sure he was nervous, but he was just too stiff and uptight, which didn't seem normal for him. So besides the show what did you think about what everyone was wearing? What about the bridal looks?

Halle Berry looked glamorous as always in a sparkling, ruffled Marchesa gown.

Dreaming of Spring!

Now that I posted that lovely Paris photo with the wonderful garden of Tulips that's all I've been thinking of! I haven't really been much of a garden person since high school, I was actually in the horticulture program and was part of the Philadelphia Flower Show with our school. You would think I would have more plants and flowers in front of our house! I really enjoyed it in high school, it's always nice being in classes where you're doing more than just sitting in a desk listening to the teacher talk.

OK...so I just went to the Philadelphia Flower Show website to get the link for you and the theme this year..."Springtime in Paris"...REALLY!! That's amazing, so does this mean I should really make sure we go to the Flower Show this year or should I be in Paris in the Springtime! The show is March 6-13 at the Philadelphia Convention Center....be there!

Girls’ Night Out at the Philadelphia Flower Show:

Thursday, March 10th
5:30 to 8:30 pm – shopping, food and wine sampling, beauty tips and free goodie bag plus live broadcast of QVC.
$40 Sponsored by RuePhiladelphia (Rue La La), and Philadelphia Style magazine

We went a few years ago when it was a New Orleans theme, best time ever! There was a New Orleans style band there that was amazing. And oh yes the flowers were gorgeous!

A Few Photos from that year....

Inspiration...

Thank you so much for all of the love ladies. Still have a little bit of the sniffles but Im getting better. It was so nice here in the Northeast on Friday...70 degrees! My step daughters and I actually got to go for a nice walk in the park. But now they're calling for ice and snow again...can you believe it! So maybe we'll think of Spring and find inspiration for our weddings in flowers, romance, and bursts of color to get away from the winter blues! I just love this photo of the eiffel tower, it makes me dream of Paris in the Springtime...how lovely would that be!

Is there a city, beach, or town you just adore and would love to inspire your wedding details after? I really love New York City and the history in downtown Philadelphia. We were thinking of having soft pretzels at our wedding and actually picking them up on the day of...but it was just too much to bother with!
