These glasses are…ON FIRE!
Destined to be an artist and entrepeneur, Jefferey Woods, in 2005 launched his business WOODEYE STUDIOS ECCENTRIC GLASSWORKS.
Jeffery Woods experimented with a variety of art forms before finding his artistic calling. Inspired by two well-known glass artists, Michael Joplin and Debra May, and their popular workshop in Tuscon, Arizona; Jeffery was able to bring together two of his favorite art mediums, glass carving and pen & ink drawing to create what he considers to be, functional art.
As you can see below, his functional art is amazing!! I have seen these glasses in person and I can pretty much guarantee the first time you lay your ‘wood’ eyes on them that you will let out a…WOW! Now it is your turn to be inspired and bring a little flair to your home with his collection of cocktail glasses, ornaments, vases, and even a gorgeous sink! I agree with WOODEYE STUDIOS, “Art does not have to be a special occasion, so why not add some to your table today!”
Below, you can see these glasses in action at one of my recent weddings. The bride & groom chose to have a ‘Hot Rods & Humor’ themed wedding with a purple, black, & silver color palette. As, you can see, these WOODEYE STUDIOS ‘Tribal Flair’ Champagne Glasses in purple were the perfect touch and brought just the right amount of fiery sizzle to their wedding!

“Wedding Flowers” says it all!
Or, should I say…SHOWS it all!
WEDDING FLOWERS, a book by Paula Pryke, is the quintessential reference when it comes to discovering the style, colors, and blooms of every brides’ dream.
Though this book has some step-by-step instructions throughout, I think it is most useful to brides to draw inspiration from the pictures. Also, since it has so many great pictures of popular bouquets, boutonnierres, ceremony and reception flowers, it is a great tool for brides to express the vision and style for their wedding flowers to their floral designer.
The author Paula Pryke is one of my favorite, published floral designers and I think all of her books are invaluable and an asset to any wedding resource bookshelf. “Pryke has over fifteen years of experience at creating beautiful weddings. Her work is featured regularly in all the leading magazines. Wedding Flowers builds on the success of her five previous titles: Simple Flowers; Festive Flowers; Flowers, Flowers; Flair with Flowers; and Living Color. She works as a floral consultant and has her own school for floral arrangement and design in London. Always a trendsetter, Paula Pryke continues to innovate…”

A book worth a look…
…And it is Martha Stewart’s Wedding Cakes, by Martha Stewart!
This book can be purchased from www.Amazon.com
I bought this book a few weeks ago; and when I started to thumb through it, I just couldn’t put it down! I enjoyed page after page of the incredible details and cake creativity. Since, I have found some of the book’s cake pictures in the wedding section of the MARTHA STEWART website. And although you can see some of the yummy pictures on the website, the main reason to not hold back and splurge on purchasing this book is to see the detail work up close and read about the inspiration for many of the cakes.
