Whether we are spending Valentine’s day with that special someone or focusing on treating ourselves better, this hallmark day reminds us of one thing, LOVE. We should be showing love every day, but doesn't it feel good to bask in the love fest that reminds everyone to stop and take time for one another and not to mention #1, ourselves. Here are a few ideas to show love on this Valentine's Day. Treat yourself or your cutie to a hot bath filled with rose petals, candles and soft music. The fragrant bath isn't just good for the senses, but rose petals are a known toner and clarifies the skin. You can pick them up for just $5 a bag at Fort Myers Floral Designs, 11480 Cleveland Avenue, Fort Myers, FL. Or how about a chocolate that makes your heart melt as it melts in your mouth. Norman Love Confections entices the soul with their exotic flavors and award winning artistry of their fine chocolates and pastries. These gems look just too good to eat! Indulgence is bliss, knowing that some of their assortments of fine cocoa is chocked full of antioxidants. If Chocolate is not for you, then ask someone to Bee Mine with products from Burt's Bees beauty products made from natural, organic ingredients. Their bees wax based lip gloss fortified with soothing herbs make lips kissable and tastes good too! Happy Valentine's Day from the gals at Studio 6XI.
In a home fashion article on iVillage.com for 2010 color trend predictions, turquoise was rated the hot new color for home decor, paint and accents. This vivacious color has multiple shades that compliment warm as well as cool colors. What a great way to change up your decor a bit and add some turquoise accessories, funky throw pillows, or paint on an accent wall.
Along with this hot hue of blue, it is said that blue in general is making a huge comeback. So, don't throw away that blue danube china your grandmother gave you! From home to fashion; cloudy slates to bold colbalts are making a statement. Not to mention navy is the more serious side of black.
Studio 6XI was the co-sponsor along with Creative Events and Rentals at the 2010 Tropical Florida Bridal Fair at the Edison Ford Winter Estates. Our reception design was a play on vintage elegance, with a modern twist. The Edison Ford Winter Estates displays a beautiful grounds with gardens, Edison and Ford's original homes, towering palms and twisted fig trees. A perfect setting for a modern bride with a vintage flare. We thank all of the vendors for their participation of our design, including Libby's Flowers for the floral arrangements, Connie Duglin for the colorful linens, Mason's Bakery for the cake design, and Creative Events & Rentals for the beautifully draped tent filled with gold chiavari chairs and tables. This Event was a wonderful success bringing in over 100 brides!
We are always in search of unique vendors to offer our Brides. After finding these fabulous paper bouquets and cake toppers, we couldn't help but run with scissors.

Studio 6XI had the pleasure of promoting this unique find at the 2010 Tropical Bridal Fair at the Edison Ford Winter Estates. You can find these paper treasures on her Etsy Shop at Weddings by Becca Mari.
