Notables: Red Gingham & Aqua for a Good Cause

In case you missed my tweets yesterday, I was helping out Janice Carnevale of Bellwether Events with a very special tablescape. She is a part of Relay For Life and one of the fundraising events leading up to the walk is a tea. Any team participating in Relay For Life is able to buy a table at the tea and decorate it as they please. Now, of course we didn't just do any ordinary tea setup... we did iced tea, inspired by this color inspiration I posted a few weeks back...

Yep, we chose red gingham and vibrant aqua and the table turned out fantastic! But the best part is, it was for a great, great cause.

We simply hemmed gingham fabric for the tablecloth, trimmed the votive holders with ribbon and served iced tea, sweet tea and lemonade!

Berry cartons trimmed with mini gingham ribbon!

I DIY'd the cupcake stands... look for a full tutorial later this week!

Of course, we had to incorporate my favorite Ball jars, filled with simple white florals...

And last but not least, who could resist a little Georgetown Cupcake?

Now that's an adorable twist on a picnic if I've ever seen one! Don't forget... look for a tutorial on the DIY'd cupcake stands later this week, come back Wednesday for Notable's first ever giveaway (you're gonna want to see this one!) and check out Relay For Life to find out how you can get involved too!

As Seen on Etsy: Package In Style

Ribbon, oh ribbon. I could look at ribbon for hours, and I do sometimes on my frequent trips to Michaels. But I've found a new source for my addiction, and one that I know you will love too: Package In Style. This Etsy vendor has an adorable selection of vintage ribbon and some really cute beaded twine (and more!). Ribbon can be used in so many aspects of a wedding: from tying up the favors to embellishing the tables and chairs, and even hanging from above. It can hold your place cards or be the background of your photo booth. Package In Style may have just what you need to wrap up your wedding and tie it with a bow!
