Party On

Today I got to do one of the thing I love most- shop. I also got to eat at Zaxby’s which is up there on the list. Anyhow- as Natasha’s wedding is now 15 days away (!!!) I took to the streets to shop for the remaining items on her list. After 4 hours and 6 shops, I came away with some treasures. Let me start by pointing out these lovely vintage toasting glasses. Oh my goodness I love them to death. I found them at The Cottage Consignment which seriously is one of the most adorable stores I’ve ever been to. It’s filled with antiques and modern day gifts. Not only that but it’s linked to this great smelling café. Have I mentioned how nice the staff is? Because they are and they’re really helpful. They actually had a huge selection of glasses and the price wasn’t bad at all. I got this pair for $65 with tax included Natasha is wanting the church alter to have candles only so I’m hoping these all white candles hit the spot. Which set up do you like better? The first or the second? I ...

Champagne flutes are one of those wedding items that can be used time and time again, so Natasha really wants her flutes to be beautiful and classic. We budgeted $50 for a set, though you can find flutes well above and below that price point. Here are some of my favorites… This champagne flute set really mixes modern with classic , which I think epitomizes Natasha and her husband’s style, though I think this hand painted Swarovski set gives off a touch more class.   This damask set feels so vintage to me, and is one of least expensive of the bunch (which is always a bonus in my books) but I also really like the ornate detail on this monogrammed pair . If I were to splurge on flutes (or saucers in this case), these crystal glasses would take the cake but if I wanted to save a bit I might go for these monogrammed $16 flutes by Oriental Trading Co. Not into buying your own flutes? You could always use flute charms to add a little extra sparkle to your toast.
