Bethany from the b.spoke blog is one of my new favorite blogs to visit for inspiration!  She is a “…designer, thinker, home-keeper, gardener, wife, daughter, friend, and creative with a love for simple pleasures…”

During the past few months planning our wedding, my goal has always been to create a wedding design that not only best represents Jonnathan and my relationship and our personalities, save as much money as possible and use/create wedding decor that could be  transferred into our home. This is why I love Bethany’s blog so much! She blogs about all things applicable for life and a wedding!  From recipes, gifts, decor, entertaining, and more!  Here are some zesty images she shared from Mrs. Limestone’s afternoon soiree.

I completely agree with Mrs. Limestone! When decorating with fruit – buy bulk from a wholesale distributor!  Around here, that means Cash & Carry or Costco.  Buying by the pound at your grocery store will cost you much much more…

She made a rum spiked lemonade and handmade yellow cocktail umbrellas.  She continued the theme with the same ribbon and tags. You can find countless signature cocktails online!

I would recommend going to Costco as well for the roses! You can get two dozen roses in a variety of colors for less than $30.00!

To save on ribbon – use Jo-Ann or Michaels coupons in the weekly paper or online. I get them emailed to me weekly!!!!

Mmmm cheese! My favorite cheese is by far Cougar Gold!  However, a great place to find a wide variety of cheese is the Metropolitan Market.  It can be pricey, so ask for some suggestions and samples when you visit. They are more than happy to help you figure out what will work best for your event.

I think this is my favorite part!!! The beehive cake!!!!  Oh I need to get me one of these!  Especially sitting atop one of my new white cake stands (I’m obsessed with cake stands!).

It’s so adorable I’d hate to cut into it!

THANK YOU BETHANY FOR SHARING MRS. LIMESTONE’S  WONDERFUL ZESTY DECOR!!!!
