Wedding Bells are ringing....

The Wedding Season is about to begin!!!!

Becoming a Fiance and planning a wedding  is a full time job in itself.  No one is quite prepared for the job ahead!

If ONLY I had all these resources WAY BACK WHEN...


Some great wedding sites and blogs I have come across include:


And, there are a ton more!  Start with these and then on these sites, they follow other sites and everyone is sharing ideas, diy's and great tips to  getting through this new full-time job.  All to create that once in a lifetime fairy tale day!

Another great spot for ideas is Pinterest~you can start on our Spring/Summer board for Glass ornaments - www.pinterest.com/thewhitehurstco.  
Tons of ideas there and after you can google "weddings" in the search box and have access to TONS of pins.  Amazing the amount of talented people out there!

Here are a few images I pulled off my Pinterest page ~

Great idea to give as Hostess Gifts in a color scheme or in a variety of colors.  See www.christmaslightsetc.com for solid colored glass in tons of colors
Found these ornaments on Pinterest via ETSY

Remember your night in a special way, to preserve the memories, from year to year....add a cork from the wine, some petals from your bouquet, or even cut into strips a copy of your wedding invitation, as seen below.

 Even if you ARE NOT the Bride... and, instead, a guest to this wonderful event, these are great ideas to pull together as a shower gift or wedding gift.

We recently put together a Wedding Collector's Box for a customer in Frost and Silvers.  We added an Oberfrankische German Glass ornament of a car, some tulle, and voila!




A beautiful gift to start the newleyweds off in style for their first Christmas!  
Create your own package with traditional colors and elegant colors or the colors of the wedding... 

Every newly married couple needs Christmas ornaments!

Enjoy the Wedding Season!

Best,

Kirsten

"Here Comes Peter Cottontail...."



Bunnies, Birds and Buds, Oh my!...Spring is on the way, or at least that is what they say.

This year will be different... My girls are too big to dress in little white shoes and adorable Easter dresses, and they are questioning how bunnies can really deliver and hid baskets..:(.... please tell me, how did it ever go so fast....


Now, we gawk at the babies and little boys and girls in their pinks, yellows and light blues!  

Despite, what they refuse to believe or wear, I will still decorate the house and prepare for the Easter Bunny in every way!  We will set up our Easter Tree, gather the baskets and jelly beans, color the eggs, celebrate the holiday and welcome the Spring.  
Some of our supplies we use, include the following:


 Oberfrankische German Glass Ornaments
 
 Oberfrankische German Glass Faberge Eggs & The Whitehurst Company Faberge Eggs


 The Whitehurst Company solid colored glass ornaments.  Available at www.christmaslightsetc.com.

Share with us how you decorate your home for Easter!  Email us at info@thewhitehurstcompany.com with your images and I will share them with everyone next week.  Thank you, in advance, for sharing.  Looking forward to seeing your talents.  For more inspiration, visit Pinterest.  Our March board is slowly growing with great ideas... www.pinterest.com/thewhitehurstco and there are TONS of great displays, crafts and projects for Eastertime on other Pinterest boards.  Just search for Easter.

Everyone is anxious to get outside and ride our bikes, shoot some hoops and, I must say, I am excited to rake and start my gardens.  Today, I am looking out my window and I do not feel or see that "Easter's on it's Way...."
 
But, if i am quiet in the morning now, I do hear the birds chirping again, so I know it is coming.... just a little patience, I tell the girls.

Hope you enjoy your Easter Holiday and the festivities and innocence it brings to you and your family.

Enjoy, 

~Kirsten
