Happy (almost) Fourth of July!  Personally I love the fourth because it gives me an excuse to get away for a night or two, sleep in a tent, play with sparklers, eat delicious food and celebrate with family and friends.  I love researching simple ways to incorporate the holidays into your festivities and this week I came across two simple yet chic ideas. For any of you bakers out there this post is for you: 

First of all, anyone who knows me and if you follow Emerald Weddings on our twitter account, you can probably tell that I am OBSESSED with cupcakes. I absolutely love everything about them so of course I love this step by step tutorial for making Fourth of July cupcakes!

The rice krispy treats I found on Twig and Thistle and instantly fell in love with idea.  They are so fun and festive, yet so easy to make!

Monica and I are currently working with a client whose wedding reception is this Spring. The groom’s aunt owns a lavender farm outside of Seattle, Washington and we have been playing with various design ideas and ways in which we can incorporate lavender into their reception.  These images have been inspiring us.  I love the idea of potted lavender plants but then I also love the centerpiece that mixes lavender with mint!  It just sounds and looks so delicious!  What do you think?
