Creative suggestions for making your front foyer a space that gets noticed.


Too often, the foyer is just a space to pass through. Instead, make it the perfect place to create a statement and add subtle holiday magic.







Here's how to achieve this look.

Winter Wedding


I have to say that I'm not really a winter person.  Between the horrible driving conditions and the amount of effort you have to put in just to get out the door and not freeze to death is enough to make me want to hibernate for the entire winter season. However now more than ever a lot of people are choosing to get married in the winter months. And although maybe it is not my favorite time of year, there is something very magical about it.  For your wedding you can make some absolutely beautiful table arrangements by using all that nature has to offer. It's not just about flowers either. You can do centrepieces of tall glass vases with twigs cascading out. The curlier the twigs the more whimsical it'll look.  What about pinecones as your name holders for the guests. If you don't want to go overboard on the earthy look, than try spray painting them in a nice metallic color. Silver is a great color for winter that goes with almost any decor.


Some great color combinations for a winter wedding are; light blue and silver, scarlett red and white, red and light green.
