Where did you get the pacifiers on the rose vases?

Jenna –
The favor tags & stickers were both purchased at Michaels. It’s been a while though, so I don’t think they offer the favor tags any more (they were by Martha Stewart), but you should still be able to find similar glitter stickers.

Pamela –
The pacifiers were actually from Target! I think the brand was NUK. I’ve seen similar ones at babies r us recently too.

Gina –
Here’s a link to a larger picture of the arrangement you asked about:

It was in a rectangle shaped galvanized metal container that was slightly tinted – but honestly any regular silver galvanized container would do (no tint necessary) – and you could also do a round bucket shaped container if you’re going to use them on round tables.

Good luck! :)

I ABSOLUETLY LOVE THIS THEME! I AM DOING ALL THE DECORATIONS AND FAVORS FOR MY SISTERS SHOWER AND I WAS WONDERING IF THE FIRST PICTURE SHOWN( WITH THE WORDS WHIMSICAL GARDEN ).IS THAT A CENTERPIECE FOR THE MAIN TABLE OR BUFFET? I WOULD LIKE TO RE CREATE THIS FOR HER SHOWER.DO YOU, BY CHANCE HAVE A FULL PICTURE OF THAT FLORAL ARRANGEMENT? I WOULD LIKE TO SEE OR KNOW WHAT KIND OF VESSEL YOU HAVE IT IN OR IF YOU COULD SUGGEST ONE.IT WOULD BE THE CENTERPIECE ON 10 LARGE ROUND TABLES. THE PRIMARY COLORS FOR THE SHOWER ARE PINK AND GREEN AND THEIR REALLY ISN’T A THEME. THIS TOO IS A MIRACLE BABY AND I JUST WANT EVERYTHING TO BE AS PERFECT AND AS BEAUTIFUL AS THIS ONE SEEMED TO BE! THANK YOU

Cynthia –
I actually got the frames at HomeGoods – just got lucky and stumbled on them there one day :)

And I did add the butterflies myself. Here’s another post with a lot more ideas/examples of butterfly embellishments. Hope this helps!

This was a beautiful idea! Can you tell me where you got the frames used in the centerpieces? Also, did you decorate them with the butterflies yourself? Thanks!

Thanks for your quick answer.
Also, do you know the size of the mirror you have under your centerpieces? Was it 8 or 12 inch?
Thanks

Shannon -
The large butterflies are from:

and the small ones are from a local floral supply in San Diego, but you can even find similar ones at craft stores like Michael’s or online by searching “artificial butterflies”.

good luck! :)
