Time passes in a blink of an eye and I will be leaving NY onto my next destination - Des Moines, IA very soon...counting down to 2.8.10!

Before swinging into Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year mood for the next two weeks, I would like to share with you some of the pictures from the proposal & couple shoot. Thank you so much to Christi for all the brilliant candid photographs!

Happy Weekend to you!

Happy Friday, everyone!
How are you doing today?

No matter how busy or boring you are; you are going to love this organic-inspired wedding reception of a couple (Louisa and John) which was designed by event planner Beth Helmstetter. This wedding was also featured on Hostess with the Mostess back in 2008.

Elements of the day:

• Organic Russian Linen in Wheat Color
• Pine Cones as Place Card Holders
• Fresh Flower filled Bark Centerpieces
• Old Tree Stump as Cake Holder
• Fresh Herbs adorned Napkins
• Food: All Fresh & Organic Ingredients from Local Community

If you like this wedding reception and would like to plan a similar organic-inspired party, please visit Hostess with the Mostess event planning blog for more tips for your home celebrations.

Signing off for the week (and also next week!).

I will be back on Feb 1, 2010 with Chinese New Year (1st week of February) and Valentine's Celebration (2nd week of February) Series. Stay tune and I hope you have wonderful days in January 2010!
