Glass Block Project Inspiration

Around our store you might see a lot of projects using Glass Blocks. We have a small size and a larger size of this product. These are perfect to fill with almost anything you wish. Vinyl applies really well to the outside too. You can also add a string of lights inside, to illuminate your project, create a themed block for each holiday and much more. There are so many possibilities if you think outside of the box, or should I say block? Below are a few recent projects we've created with them.

The Wedding Fair.

For those of you that didn't have a chance to visit us at The Wedding Fair last weekend I thought I would share some photos of our booths and various displays we had set up for the event.

If we did see you there thanks for stopping by - it was great to chat with all of you and we had such a fun day sharing our store with you! We hope to see you here in the store soon - where you can find all the products and ideas you found at the booth - plus much, much more!
 
Thanks for such a great event!

The Wedding Fair.

We are very excited to be part of The Wedding Fair event that will be held at the Minneapolis Convention Center on Sunday, March 10th. If you are a bride or know someone who is planning a wedding you will definitley want to check out this great event - and stop by to see us while you are there too!

Wedding Trends & Ideas.

Our Floral Department has been busy the past few weeks putting together some new ideas and inspiration for the upcoming wedding season.

They have so many great ideas and the displays are absolutely gorgeous!!

I especially love this center piece arrangement they created and then added the letters to spell out "come away with me". You could use this same idea and spell out the bride & grooms names, their last name, just married....there are so many options.

Another awesome thing our Floral Department did was create idea/inspiration displays for the different wedding trends we are seeing for 2013. Some of the trends we are seeing are:

1920's Look & Feel (with Laser Die-cuts):

Braids & Chicken Wire decorations:

Backgrounds & Paper Lanterns:

Bark & Birds:

And a really big color this year for weddings - mint green:

I also love this display they created using the large paper mache letters:

Burlap details are also still very popular:

And in case you didn't know: the "official" color of the year for 2013 is emerald green:

We also have a display using purple & white:

Some ideas on how to decorate a arch:

As well as plenty of ideas on the extra little details and flowers/ bouquets too!

 

If you are in any stages of planning a wedding you will definitely want to stop in soon to check out all the new items and displays!
