"You're the inspiration!"

I start out almost every week with my "what a weekend" statements.  Yesterday I refrained, but don't worry, here it comes. What a weekend!  My cousin Jeremy was married to the love of his life Dorelle. They had one of the most gorgeous weddings I have ever experienced. It was set at the Salmon House in West Vancouver overlooking the ocean, downtown Van, and the Southern Gulf Islands.  I was so excited about this wedding and I have to admit, the prospect of seafood and a great view was up there on the list - But most importantly spending time celebrating with family.  

I heard rumours and rumbling that a few months ago Dorelle took a fancy to my tillandsia collection at a family dinner.  And I heard that she was planning on using them for the wedding - cool! Little did I know they would be everywhere! Tillandsia centre pieces! I found myself interrupting table conversations, leaning over to inspect all the wonderful displays that Dorelle had put together for the tables! And I was so honoured to hear "you're the inspiration!" And so for Dorelle, I say, you are the inspiration for this post! I loved your centre pieces sooo much! Big thank you for sending one home with me.

Look at how beautiful these are. I love the combinations of the different tillandsias and coloured rocks.

I guess this was the original inspiration.... As you can see, Dorelle's are much nicer.
