Hello! I came back from my vacation 2 weeks ago, with my head and my heart filled with sunshine. And guess what: we haven’t had a single nice/sunny day over here ever since. But you know what? It’s alright. I’m donning bright pink nail polish, and in case you haven’t noticed from all my recent pics on Facebook, I’m newly and totally obsessed with florals.

There’s no denying that flowergirls give weddings that “aww” factor. The frilly dresses, the flower petals, those cute little-girl smiles – is there anything cuter?! The traditional flowergirl will usually carry her coveted petals in a classic white silk basket, which are lovely (I opted for something like this at my wedding). They come with pretty detailing like bows, pearls, and crystals. But there are also many different, creative types of holders, so you don’t have to confine yourself to just one standard model.
