Don’t you just love walking through a meadow of tall grass? Relish the surroundings and feel every reed with the tips of your fingers. Taking in the smell of freedom and loving the whole atmosphere.

Landscaping the wedding aisle with pampas grass provides that same effect but what makes it better is your husband waiting for you at the end.

CEREMONY SITE

CROWN

Decorating it with natural fall elements says that your life together will be as sacred, natural and beautiful.

Accessorizing the wooden branches with this textile softens its whole effect. It gives the whole woodland setting a more ethereal outcome.

TWIGS

When the little pig used twigs to build a house, the wolf easily blew it down. Creating a wedding arch using the same rudiments won’t be as easy to destroy because of the charming appeal it brings. Plus, the rusticity of the brambles framing the lovely wedded couple provides a symbol of eternal happiness.

WINDOWS

There’s something romantic about vintage or salvaged windows. The windows alone already prick our interest and imagination. What more if used as a wedding arch?

CIRCULAR

The ultimate wedding symbol is the wedding band. The shape gives the meaning that this marriage is forever. So using a circular altar to this joyous event seems just about right.

TRIANGULAR

Exchanging vows in front of an altar or an arch is a tradition that has been practiced for thousands of years. Using a different approach as to where you want to have your vows recited will make your wedding be more unforgettable. Using a triangular or a teepee arbor will just do the trick.

HOW TO SET UP YOUR OWN BACKYARD BIERGARTEN

It’s not uncommon for some homes to constantly have peers hanging around. Close friends would consider it their favorite spot probably because of the great company, awesome tunes and let’s face it, there’s gotta be beer. So why not set up your own backyard biergarten in time for Oktoberfest? The atmosphere would all the more be charged with the electric vibe of party.

There are simple ways you can do to turn your backyard into a biergarten.

GERMAN BEERS

Aside from the tasty grub such as sausages, sauerkraut or pretzels, there’s gotta be beer, of course! Not just any beer. To feel the festivities happening in the countless beer tents lined up in the streets of Munich, you have to serve German beers!

Schedule a beer tasting and select a few bottles you would want to serve to your pals.

AMBIENCE

Setting up the place is another important factor. There should be picnic tables and chairs propped under a shade or a patio umbrella.

GLASSWARE

It doesn’t have to be a boot. Just a good sized beer mug would be the key to really get the festivities rolling.

TUNES

Complete the festival with awesome tunes. Do some research on a few folk music that usually play during Oktoberfest. Create a playlist that you can play on loop during a whole night of swigging.

When all these have been done, there’s nothing left to do but to prepare your beer bellies for a series of serious toasting! Prost!

PUMPKIN CENTERPIECES FALL TABLESCAPE IDEAS

There’s something enchanting and romantic about a pumpkin. Putting aside the fact that it has always been linked to Halloween, it also reminds us of Cinderella. There’s the magical quality of how an ordinary vegetable can be transformed into something divine. You don’t need a fairy godmother to do that. Go harvest that pumpkin and convert it into a charming fall centerpiece for your next social gathering.

Here are a few lovely ideas for a beautiful fall tablescape:

  • MONOCHROME

Source: https://toneontoneantiques.blogspot.com/2015/09/fall-accents.html

While orange certainly brightens up the room, these white gourds bring a different kind of panache.

To put a certain kind of order to these veggies, we usually put them in baskets and set them on the center of the table. However, instead of wired or wicker baskets, these pumpkins were framed by driftwood antlers. Just add candles and hydrangeas in the mix to fill in the blanks and you’ve got one stylish table.

  • PUMPKINS AND SUCCULENTS

Source: https://www.simplyhappenstance.com/pumpkin-succulent-harvest-decoration/

It’s fresh, rustic and it adds a cozy feel to your get together. But aesthetic appeal aside, creating this project for your display is pretty easy. Pumpkin vases aren’t totally new but there’s no need to cut into the pumpkin and fish out half of its content for a proper holder. Click the source to find out how it’s done.

  • MUTED PALETTE

Source https://www.weddingideasmag.com/pumpkin-wedding-decor/

The usual bold splash of an orange pumpkin is always a treat to the eye. However, muted palettes can be an eye candy and just as striking. Especially when chosen the perfect size. Paint them in subtler tones without losing the nature of the fall season.

Autumn’s staple vegetable doesn’t only work for Halloween pumpkin carvings. You can do something chic and elegant to a squash that can wow your guests’ dining experience. These ideas can go well on long tables or round ones, whether you’re hosting an intimate lunch with the girls or even a formal sit down dinner.

SIMPLE WAYS TO CELEBRATE GRANDPARENTS DAY

The first Sunday after Labor Day is a day dedicated to our beloved grandparents.

Grandparents Day is the perfect time to arrange a family reunion and celebrate wisdom and love. More importantly, this is the moment for all of us to be grateful for everything our grandparents have ever done.

So how else can we make them feel special aside from the usual greeting card or eating out?

FAMILY TREE

A great activity for this type of party is putting a spotlight on the root of your family who, of course, are the grandparents.

Place a big tree illustration on the wall and prepare clues who the members of the family tree for each tree branch. Have the kids guess who the answer and let them put the name on that particular spot. The grandparents will also be a part of it by sharing anecdotes or memories of each family member.

TIME TRAVEL

Let the guests of honor relive their younger days. If your grandparents met and fell in love in the 50s, have a 50s theme party. Get everybody to dress up in retro garb and play 50s tunes from rockabilly to bebop.

Prepare a video of you guys role playing the story of the time when your grandparents got together and started a family – something light, funny and heartwarming.

SERVE YOUR FAMOUS GRANDMA RECIPE

Apart from the whole array of dishes you have prepared, the star of the meal should be grandma’s recipe. It could be a family favorite or grandpa’s favorite dish. The best way to serve it is when you cook that heirloom recipe together.

These are just a few ideas that could surely make your grandparents happy. While a card definitely puts a smile on their faces, making grandparents party an annual tradition might just be better.

HAPPY LABOR DAY

We have all become slaves of the time – clocking in day in and day out, wasting about 100 hours of commuting and for the average worker, devoting 90,000 hours of working. Today is one day of the year when we celebrate the worker bees in us by, well, not going to work!

TODAY’S AGENDA:

SLEEP IN

Hey! Don’t get up! Relish this laze weekend with your family. Now’s your chance to catch up on some ZZZzzzzss, stretch your cuddle time with your loved ones and to keep your PJs on throughout the day!

EAT

Preparing a feast for friends and family has been a Labor Day tradition. Not only are we celebrating the holiday but we are also having a send off for the summer season.

This is the time you indulge in delicious eats while talking about what we love so much about summer.

DRINK

As corporate slaves or as part of the working class, responsibility has been etched in our very being. Now that we are given the time off, you can abandon all responsibilities and drink with abandon.

So pop open that bottle of wine and unwind! Screw open that Vodka bottle cap and let loose! You deserve it.
