For those planning a winter wedding, why not decorate with poinsettias? The following ideas are from Southern Living and I just love how they look. And, remember, there are many other color choices of poinsettias, they don't have to be the typical red we often see everywhere.

1. Lemon Drop Poinsettias in green bottles
2. Poinsettias displayed in glass trifles and stands for a centerpiece adds elevation to the flowers
3. Evergreen combined with Strawberries N Cream poinsettia displayed in a silver sugar bowl
4. Winter Rose Red poinsettias in tall glass vases with ornaments repeating colors of the vases and flowers

Today's eye candy is all about the flowers. I'm showcasing some of the amazing bouquet shots I've come across recently, I love them all and they're each so unique! I'll be taking a break from my weekly This and That post today so I can hopefully get more caught up with work before the holidays, as I'm hoping to take a few days off from work to spend them with family and just relax in front of the fire. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

I'm loving this bouquet that was created by Minoo Hersini, Creative Director at Au Ciel Design Studio. And, this particular bouquet happens to be one of Ms. Hersini's favorite wedding bouquets for your special day. Ms. Hersini created the bouquet with blue hydrangea, leucocoryne, marianne blue anemone, sea shells, starfish and panicum fountain grass. She finished it off by hand tying the bouquet with french ribbon. Such beautiful colors!

Minoo Hersini is an event planner, interior decorator, floral designer, fashion designer, and founder of Au Ciel Design Studio - an event and design studio that offers customized event planning on any scale.

Coming up next, a coordinating inspiration board . . .

Even though I don't want to admit it, the winter season is quickly approaching. But, I'm not ready to abandon fall just yet, so I wanted to share with you some wonderful easy centerpiece ideas for those of you that might still be planning fall events. These ideas from Better Homes and Gardens are even perfect for Thanksgiving too.
