Wedding Wednesday

Easiest Fall Place Setting & My Fear of the Kitchen

Wedding Wednesday

filed in:

I could get as motivated to COOK as I do when I’m decorating. I need to find a way to channel that excitement towards the kitchen. My family is at home working on preparing food and I’m posting a Wedding Wednesday post about PLACE SETTING ideas and I couldn’t be more content. If only I had the desire to make casseroles and make a mess in the kitchen and try a ton a new recipes. Ugh. It just doesn’t do anything for me. I like the “pretty stuff”…. the “eye candy” if you will. The food is GREAT, don’t get me  wrong. However, the only reason I like to get involved with Thanksgiving food preparation is to set up the table.

I care about the presentation of the table and the food… but that’s it. This really needs to change before I get older and have a family of my own. I’m really hoping I just wake up one day and BAM! I have a strong urge to make pumpkin pie… FROM SCRATCH.  Right now, the thought of that repulses me. So! Unlike other bloggers out there that are sharing recipes and turkey cooking 101 tips… I’m just sharing a little way to make a boring Thanksgiving table more exciting! All you need is a gold-leafing pen and a yard to find a few leaves in! It’s a simple way to make any placesetting POP! Enjoy! And ps. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

ALSO! Remember last week when I asked to see some of your FAVORITE weddings from last year?! Well I have LOVED viewing them!!! I feel like I have so many new blogs to stalk!! However, one that I really LOVED and became slightly obsessed over was Andrew and Teresa’s wedding shot by Allison Marie Photography!! Allison you’ll be getting a little something sweet in your inbox!!! xoxoxoxoxoxo!  ps. CUTE BLOG!!
