Two attendee option is $140 and allows for a share project. Partners can choose to split their flowers (resulting in much smaller final products) or work together on the arrangements. Additional materials are provided for added attendee.

The trees all along my street are in full spring mode, which means for the short period of time that they are dripping in creamy blooms, a white canopy covers our little avenue with cascades of petals lilting graciously down to the street below. I’ve always dreamt of getting married under a tree like this one pictured here, from NY Times via Kiss my Aster (a totally cute blog about gardening). 

So, all this tree talk got me thinking about what I’d do for a wedding if I were getting married under a tree. I can tell you, first off, the tree might be decked out like this one, by Jasmine Star. 

And I’d likely want to have a wish tree, if it could look like this loveliness, via Here Comes the Guide.

And then perhaps something along these lines:

Well, I hope you all enjoyed your President’s Day like I did–lounging around in pajamas. I wanted to start off this week with a follow up to an image I included in one of my pictorials in this post. 

These tree seedlings make for completely adorable favors. Plant a Memory is an online shop that sells the trees, and though they are a bit pricey, I just couldn’t resist sharing the source with those of you who might be able to afford the splurge.
