{ The Great Pumpkin Patch }

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend, Toronto was especially beautiful on Sunday, with clear blue skies and sun it was the perfect fall afternoon. We took a little family trip to the pumpkin patch, it was the beans first experience with pumpkins. We picked up a small pumpkin just to add a little fall to our place and a bag of apples as I am planning to make some more applesauce this year (loved it last year, I think I have a new tradition). I can't believe a year has passed since last Halloween already. Last year around this time we were preparing for my baby shower, now our baby is getting ready for her first Halloween!

Seating cards and plans have come leaps and bounds over the years, there are so many fabulous ways that you can invite your guests to take a seat on your special day ( I almost want to host a sit down dinner just so I can make some of these lovely cards) There is no limit to the imagination and to creativity when it comes to these tiny little cards. Yes they are often small, but there is no reason why they have to be small on style. Any bride can easily create cards and plans that compliment any decor or theme. I love this eco friendly alternative to tangible seating cards; the chalkboard plus it is such a sweet idea, don't you think? and lets just say that the modern illustrated cards speak right to the designer in me and they are gorgeous. If a chalk board seating plan or modern seating cards aren't your cup of tea adding a little greenery is great for any time of year. This seating card adorned tree is especially perfect for a fall or spring wedding and is so cute!
