Lemon & Lime Event Design

If you are daring enough to sit outside this weekend (please don’t pass out) why not make yourself some sweet wine bottle citronella candles?! I have a knack for getting bug bites as soon as I walk out the door so I will certainly be trying out this DIY project soon! They are also a [...]

When my then boyfriend popped the question not only was I shocked/excited about becoming his fiancé…but also surprised about the great job he did picking out the ring! I was never the girl that sent “subtle” hints about what I wanted on my finger so I was very happy to end up with something that [...]

Probably never thought you’d see color blocking on silverware…but what a great idea! Check out the step-by-step directions here from Studio DIY! These would be great for a smaller event… like a cookout or shower with about 15-20 people.

Seeing as its summer, frozen treats are the reigning queens of the dessert world.  After seeing this recipe circulate on Pinterest for a few weeks, we couldn’t resist sharing!  The chef, Liz of Zested, is a true artist.  Try this yummy fruit shaped sorbet for yourself if you’re feeling fancy, or share with guests at [...]

In honor of the INSANE amount of Instagrammin’ the three of us did over our hectic wedding & event packed weekend (and the brief but hilarious moments we spent posing for the photo booth at our nuptials yesterday), we thought it would be fun to share a DIY Instagram photo strip project from The College [...]

So often do we hear from the groom (and the bride) before the wedding how they just can’t wait for everything to be over. Sure they’re excited about the ceremony and hello…the reception….but about a week before the big day they are just ready for it all to come together and be done. I think [...]

I saw this great pirate ship party on Hostess with the Mostess and had to share! I think the marshmellow pops are genius! What a fun birthday!

One day, when I’m planning my wedding to Ryan Gosling or an equally attractive male celeb (if one exists!), I think I might actually care more about the bridesmaid dresses than my own gown.  I know – that’s probably the craziest thing you’ve ever heard.  I think this might have something to do with how [...]

It’s funny to me that it being 100 degrees outside is breaking news and everyone is freaking out… If you’ve lived in Baltimore or DC for at least a year, you know these temperatures are very common around here We’ve actually been quite spoiled so far this summer! It’s going to be out out though and [...]

Obviously we love all of our clients, but this one was extra special….it was my (Ashley) sister! When I first found out my sister was pregnant…with TWIN GIRLS…I was absolutely beside myself. I wish we had recorded the Sykpe conversation of the big reveal because it was pretty hilarious. Shortly after the freaking out in [...]

The old expression goes, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”  The same might go for fashion, no?  If a store works for you, why not shop there (and often)? A few stores that you already frequent for your everyday style staples are making it even easier to earn those customer loyalty points – including [...]

If you’re a fan of lemon and lime on Facebook, you probably saw THESE pictures from A + A’s wedding last weekend.  One of our favorite details was the frame the groom made to display their Polaroid guest book – in fact, that frame is all I’ve been thinking about for the past week!  It [...]

Don’t be too concerned about my level of taste – generally, the matchy-matchy look is a little bit too third grader for me, too.  But with all of the bright, colorful summer frocks and warm weather party drinks to try on for size this season, why not do a little drink & dress matching?  These [...]

I still love mason jars… I know they have been around for a few years now…but they are great! What I even love more is the new creative things people are doing with them. Check out these painted and distressed look! You can buy them here from the Beach Blues Etsy Shop.

I apologize to all of you non-Baltimorians because this post may not be very interesting to you. HOWEVER, if you are local then get your party pants on for this weekend’s SAILABRATION! The weekend (starting 6/13 – 6/19) is set to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812 with navy vessels and tall [...]

It can be really hard to keep up a good diet during the summer time…especially with all of the delicious party food you’ll most likely be faced with!

My love for Kate Spade is actually kind of weird… I just love the brand and everything they do with it! They have had a bridal collection for awhile now, but I’m loving the new additions…

Photography – it’s one of those arts that almost everyone wishes they had picked up at some point in their life (also see playing the guitar or, for me anyway, ballet).  For some people, wanting to be a better shutterbug is more about a desire to capture life’s special moments without having to hire a [...]

Happy Sunday everyone!!! Having a cook out tonight and not sure what to put together for the dessert? I am just about DYING to try this at our next dinner party so I figured I’d share - Chocolate Cookies N’ Cream Parfaits. Sadly, I tend to forget about dessert – and usually make one of our guests [...]

I came across two very creative and fun event food ideas this week and had to share. Clearly one is a little easier than the other but both are great! If the Octopus can’t get kids to eat veggies… I don’t know what will!

There’s no cuter shower favor than one that’s personalized (and actually usable!)  Imagine my delight when, nail polish addict that I am, I discovered Pretty Please, where custom is the name of the game.  This polish line is all about you (or your event) – pick any shade of polish you want and then name [...]

Everyone is all the rage about chalkboard wine glasses…but I love this spray paint idea. When finished…it looks classy and definitely not homemade. These would be great for a favor, as a gift to your bridal party, or even as a gift. Can’t get much easier! Thanks to my friend Caitlin for sharing the idea [...]

BOTH!!! How sweet (literally) is this cake pop favor/place card?! BRILLIANT! The only thing I would change is that I’d probably put a little bag around the pop part in case your guest doesn’t want to eat it just yet. Or at least they are TRYING not to eat it Nothing bulky so they can [...]
