Tune In

For all of you early risers out there or lucky ducks blessed with the power of DVR, be sure to tune in to the CBS Sunday Morning Show this Sunday, June 12, for Style Me Pretty's television debut. Rita Braver chatted up Abby Larson for a piece on the growing influence of bloggers (woo woo) and we have had ants in our pants since filming to see the end result. 

You can find your local listing times here. Join us for a virtual Mimosa toast?

DIY Terrariums...Yes, Please!

Even though I write for Style Me Pretty and totally live and breath all things wedding, sometimes a really fabulous post will fly under the radar. As in, I don't see it until months later. Case in point, these AMAZING DIY Terrarium Place Holders created by Wednesday Custom Design. They're gorgeous! I want to make a million of them and use them for everything and I think you should too

Supplies

Clear Glass Christmas Ornament
Mason Jar Lid
Moss
Sticks
Crepe Paper Flower - DIY Instructions
Wine Bottle Cork
Thread
Place Card

Instructions

1. Remove the silver hook from the top of the Christmas ornament.

2. Use the mason jar lid as the platform for the glass ball, and to offer some stability while you create.

3. Fill the glass ball with moss and sticks.

4. Make your own crepe paper flowers to put in the glass ball for a burst of color 

5. Seal the hole in the glass ball with a wine cork

6. Tie a pretty bow with ribbon or string to attach your place card to the terrarium.

There's Always Next Week

so sorry for the radio silence this last week. I took a little trip for Style Me Pretty to the magical land of BHLDN and it took all of my downtime so I am going to take this weekend to recover from gorgeous dress gazing, cool blogger pal meeting and copious amounts of macaron eating (my first ever! how have I never had one before?!?) and we'll reconvene back here on Monday. Sound like a plan? Enjoy your weekend loves!

And if you missed the sneak peeks of the BHLDN collection, there are some great ones here, here, here, here, here, here and here

2011 is off to a busy albeit amazing start...

Definitely worth a look if you haven't already devoured it cover to cover. See it here
