I wanted all my lovely followers to know about an Annual Walk that is going on this coming Sunday, November 21st!
Beautiful little Celia has a terminal illness called Batten Disease. Batten Disease is an autosomal recessive disorder classified as a neurodegenerative disorder. This disease causes seizures and both dramatic physical and mental deterioration. There is no cure or way to halt the progress of Batten disease at this time. Last year, the MICU at OSUMC held a walk for Celia at Antrim Park and raised almost 800 dollars for the cause! We would like to make this an annual event in order to continue to raise awareness and research monies for this rare affliction. Please come show support for Celia and her family and for children and families suffering with this illness!
Cost: Minimum of 5 dollars a walker. Additional donations much appreciated. All money will go towards batten disease research. Please make checks out to Sara Zeller.

I would so appreciate it if anyone came to walk with us - it is for a great cause, and a very precious little girl...thank you for reading this peeps :)
So... it's crazy, it's nuts, I can barely even wrap my little head around it, but Thanksgiving is ALMOST here! It is one teeny, tiny, seven day hop away...are you ready?!
I for one, am completely excited this year. Ryan and I will be HOSTING, you read that right, HOSTING Thanksgiving. Now before you start to imagine me stuffing a turkey...(I mean I don't even know what that means?!) ...let me share with you our Thanksgiving agenda! To our excitement my Brother, Mom, Dad, and one of Best Friends will be joining us at OUR humble abode :) Luckily, all of these key players know that Miss ME, is not a cook...I can bake (okay, like easy things from a package) and that in itself is enough for me :) So you might be asking, "then what the heck are you useful for?!" ...it's a legit, fair question - but check yourself, I am in charge of the decor sillies, decor!
I stick to what I am good at and I cannot wait to dazzle our guests with delicate, homemade, and thoughtful details :)
Below I found a few pictures that highlight what our Thanksgiving feast will be accompanied by - delightful details that you can do yourself :)
So let me ask you...silent followers, what is your given task this coming Thanksgiving? Do you dish up an amazing pie, a yummy side dish, or are you master of ceremonies? Please share your Thanksgiving traditions, we could all use extra inspiration :)
So I got to thinking, since 29 Peonies took the leap, and joined the facebook world, that we should take a minute, or heck the whole evening, to celebrate!
Why you ask? Why not?! I ask :)
Help 29 Peonies grow on facebook - who knows, you might be pleasantly rewarded!
In the meantime, I will reward you with an eye treat of sorts, a little bubbly!
I love using these mini champagne bottles for guest favors, I might love the burlap tie bags just as much too - we all know how organic and earthy I am :)
But one more little detail that I knew you all would love....
....using the champagne or wine corks for place card holders - unique, different, cute!
So here is a toast and cheers to all of you, and thank you so much for following :)
I thought I would touch upon table top inspiration...I recently helped a Bride of mine brainstorm about her color scheme and how to bring it to life properly on a table top!
So many different routes can be taken, but you really need to play with the colors and see what takes your eye. Many times, something sounds good in theory, but once that table linen and chair cover meet...ick! So just be playful and go to the fabric store, dig out swatches, and mix-match away! Sometimes a colored napkin can make all the difference in the world too...yes, that teeny tiny napkin!
Here I found some late Fall table tops that caught my eyes...
...I love the warm, cozy, romantic feel that most of these seem to give off - which one is your favorite and why? :)
And remember 29 Peonies' followers, two very exciting Wedding Wave features will be coming your way within the next few weeks!!
We also are tickled to announce that you can finally find us on facebook - yes, we joined!
You can catch our blog and daily updates on our brand spankin' new page - Cheers!
You read the title, and it will be speaking for itself :)

You might be saying, 'what, hold up, I thought...wait, that doesn't sound right!"
"4 Peonies?!" I was just getting used to 29 Peonies...
...it's okay, keep getting used to 29 Peonies because today I am featuring FOUR Peony Bouquets that have recently caught my eye!
If you can't tell, Peonies are my fav flower, and I love how different they can look, whether in full bloom or just popping open - I love the individuality!
Let me know what you think of these bouquets! Anyone care to take a gander at which bouquet resembles MINE?! :)
I stumbled upon a Save The Date that almost mirrored MINE - Take a peek! I love these kind of Save The Dates, especially when the Wedding Date falls around the time or weekend of a Holiday! It gives your guests time to plan ahead, and also a handy reminder as the months tick by :)
Friday is here...let the weekend, cold wind, crisp air, and November settle in.
I hope you all enjoyed the FIRST Wedding Wave...what did you think?!

So here we go...as promised, first Wedding Wave...my handsome hubby and myself :)
I would like to give the biggest shout out, thank you, and credit to our amazing photographers, Jordan & Amber Powers. We could not have asked for a better couple to work with on our Big Day. They were like silent bystanders who happened to capture each teeny, tiny, magical moment that even we would have forgotten about, if not for their breathtaking photos.
Ryan and I love sitting down and going through the story book album they created for us. It gives the biggest insight to exactly how the day went, and highlights the most precious parts that we will forever remember.
Please, Please, Please take a look at their awesome work on their website, blog, and in their galleries. You will not be disappointed, infact, you will probably want to book them! We cannot gush, brag, and boast about them enough; We honestly loved every moment they were kind enough to capture :)
