I love decorating my home for the holidays...the perfect accent- Paperwhites and Amrayllis!!

And what better Holiday Hostess Gift (you can even DIY if you are creative and have the time ; )

Amaryllis you can buy potted at your local gardening store or HomeDepot

and cover the pot with your own decoration..

Collect vintage jars and pot your own Paperwhites...

You can purchase bulbs for as little as a dollar at your local nursery or hardware store...

or online at White Flower Farm

see Design & Sponge for all the details on how to DIY!

Or keep it simple-

purchase these already potted, read-to-grow Paperwhites or Amaryllis...

Wishing you and your loved ones a Happy Holiday!

The Pearls in Newport, RI

As A Newport Wedding Planner, one of my favorite B&Bs to stay at and that I recommend to all my clients and their guests is The Pearls of Newport, RI!!

It is the perfect spot if you want to take over all of their properties with your family & bridal party or just even one of the properties...it is like having your own home to stay in with fabulous service!

They also are so extremely accommodating to wedding parties...they can do rehearsal dinners, wedding brunches and can assist you with flowers and the little details of the event.  Ray & Lisa will take great care of you and it is literally steps from town and everything that is happening in Newport, RI.

When you wake up and roll downstairs be prepared for one of Ray's gourmet breakfasts...delicious!

Be sure to call The Pearls when planning you Newport, RI wedding!
