10 Pins for a Picture Perfect Spring

March 22, 2013

It is March, it is Spring and it is lovely. What better way to enjoy the fresh crisp weather and colorful flowers than with some pins from Pinterest? Last year we brought you, Spring in 20 Pinterest Pins Therefore, we decided to keep the tradition and pick pins for your home and You!

Take a look and see!

Sometimes it's best to start with DESSERT:

From Whipperberry.com, this Pin stopped us in our tracks. With flavorful, easy-to-make treats like Acai Berry Granita & Blood Orange Bars we couldn't help but gleam at these scrumptious sweets.

Flowers for Spring

A Fabulous Concoction

Dare we say more? This Garden Hose Wreath from Create.Craft.Love is uber perfect for spring. Its a must for crafts since you can use silk flowers and keep it for years to come. Ideal as a spring break project with your kids or even a sweet bridal shower gift for your best friend.

Grayed Jade Spring Color Trend

Spring Time & the Living's Easy

This pin is titled "Living Savvy" and we could not agree more. Chevron prints are all the craze but a wicker basket and knitted pillow adds a dose of texture to your home office, bedroom or living area.

When Life Gives you Lemons...

So good you can taste it. This bouquet is simple and almost edible. We adore this look for your kitchen, perfect for Sunday brunch it will brighten any room and your whole day.

Style & Grace.

Spring colors are a huge closet must-have. Pack a bold punch with a fitted sport coat or bold ankle length trousers. For the ladies, top you look off with a peachy nail color and a hint of sparkle.

White: The Color of New

January 20, 2013

White is the color dedicated to new beginnings. With the New Year among us everyone is preparing goals and to-do lists of resolutions to fulfill. 

Bride-to -be's are busy seeking the perfect white dress, while some people are turning sheets and cleaning spaces to get ready for a new move and in the job market others are ironing a white button down dress shirt in search of a new job. White is also the color of Poetry's photo booth. In honor of white being the color of new beginnings we are offering newly engaged couples 20% our classic Diamond Package on Event Finds.com

The past three years now, Poetry Photo Booths has taken our small booth of one to two and now heading into 2013 we continue to book new venues and weddings to see couples wed and birthdays get happier. This year we will be attending the Grand Tradition Bridal Faire, "Wedding Dreams" at the Bevgrly Mansion. Beginning at 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Sunday January 27th, 2013, the event will include various preferred vendors , like ourselves offering wedding services from florists, event coordinators, local bakeries, DJ's and more. Thus, there is no better place to enjoy a day dedicated to White than a bridal fair or bazaar.

So how do you tie in white to your New Year?

Perhaps you are not getting married but want a refreshing pop of color in your life. The feeling you get from a simple change can light up a room, your smile and your day.

Make "White" Your New Year's Resolution

1. Foam on your Coffee: Less is more. Try Soy or Fat Free milk to the steamed foam on your morning cup of 'jo.

2. Try Egg Whites for breakfast over regular egg yolks.

3. Plant your favorite flower in a white pot or three for added touch of greenery and freshness.

4. Try a calm scent of gardenia in your bathroom, body spray or perfume.

5. Invest in a white dress button down for work, a casual pair of white pants for your favorite pair of Tom's or a simple white cardigan to pair with your favorite strip camisole.

6. Buy white legal pads over yellow. The look of white paper is clean and legable. Take notes on here instead of your computer, enjoy writing down your goals at work or at home.

7. Make a Calendar on a white board or for your desk. Jot down important events and get organized in advance.

8. Clean your car, house and closet. Get spring cleaned before spring gets you. During the cold winter months it is nice to relax but by starting on small chores early, you can invest more time in things you love, like family, football and um... Poetry :)

9. Take care of you with organic healthy products. Before bed- sip chamomile tea, apply moisturizer to your skin and wear your favorite linen PJ's.

Enjoy your new beginnings, Enjoy the New You.

Ho-Ho-Holiday Party Themes

December 16, 2012

Here yee, Here yee! It is thou time for a Ho-Ho-Holiday Party!

 With less than two weeks to spare we have quick, easy solutions to gather your friends, neighbors, co workers and family in a non-traditional Christmas fashion!

With garland adorning every inch of her hair and antlers on his head to stare, we welcome you to our Holiday piece before your Christmas day feast!

Holiday Theme Parties

Nothing says getting in the "mood" for the holiday season like a Holiday Theme Party! From the Secret-Santa gathering to a cheesy sweater Xmas party... the naughty and nice list goes on.  So you have now less than one week till December 25th but you wanna gather your friends together to celebrate your year of debauchery?

Here are some QUICK, FUN and altogether EASY Holiday Theme Party Ideas:

Christmas Cookie Swap: Gather the neighbors, children's friends or just your best friends together for an evening of baking and laughs. Break open your favorite wine and get to mixing and decorating with your children, your friends or even a couple get together.

Trim My Tree Gathering: Your first Xmas alone or in a new place? Invite those around to grace your home for a "trim my tree" gathering. You can do this two ways- ask each guest to bring one ornament to adorn your tree and you provide snacks and beverages or you can supply a crafty take by having glass ornaments and paint to decorate individual ornaments for a night of individuality and new memories!

Sexy Secret Santa for the Ladies (it's not as bad as you think!) My friends and I personally did this idea! We pulled names out of a hat and instead of choosing expensive gifts we each bought each other funny panties and an ornament that suited our personality! For guys, you can choose a favorite beer of choice and a classic ornament or DVD to exchange.

Holiday Movie Marathon Party: Perfect for couples or those with families. Set up your living area with pillow, blankets and a warm fire place! Have everyone bring a dish and then rent all the old classic holiday movies that are forever memorable.

Gift Wrappin' Party: Gather your friends together for a night of gift wrapping together. Everyone brings their wrapping paper, bows, tape and scissors and you can all share your wrapping paper to save on cost. With all your gifts together you can mingle and decorate your gifts with friends.

Ugly Sweater Christmas Party: The ugly sweater never goes out of style during the holidays. Wear a vintage ugly sweater or one hidden in your grandmother's closet. Gather all of your friends together for an evening that will be memorable and hillarious! It is a perfect time to pack all of your friends into a photo booth just like the fabulous photos you see here from Poetry.

We wish you ALL a very Merry Christmas with Love!

Thankful November

November 7, 2012

Before you hit the streets for Black Friday and Small Business Saturday, Poetry wants to give you all the reasons to be thankful for a wonderful 2012: 

YOU!

Our readers, fans, followers and faves have made this a special year for Poetry. We have been double booked on weekends and are preferred vendors at top venues such as Grand Tradition Estate in Fallbrook, CA and Nixon Library in Yorba Linda, CA. 

LOVE

Without love where would any of us be? And more so, without all the happy lovebirds we wouldn't have weddings and charismatic photos in our booth.

INSTAGRAM

One of the best apps and ways to share photos in seconds. Unique, individual and genuine these photos define what social media is all about.

Z MUSTACHE

Photo booths are characterized by the classic lips and fancy ol' stache sticks that couples across the world pose with. 

QUOTES & PINS

We are thankful for Pinterest and the memorable timeless quotes and images that make up our inspiration day in and day out.

GLITTER

Shoes, glitz, glamour, professional make-up and more. We are thankful for glitter, it lights up our night life.

SCENIC ROUTES

There is not one place in SoCal that is boring! As premiere southern California wedding vendors, we get to see venues from Temecula to Los Angeles. Each one individual and precious in its own right.

& most of all.....

FRIENDS

Our wedding friends in the small community we operate are one of a kind. The lovely women of Wedding Chicks, Style Unveiled, Every Last Detail, Artsy Heartsy, Bridal Tweet and so many more.

A Fall to Remember from Poetry Booths

October 29, 2012

The past 30 days have been an adventure for Poetry Booths. From the Old Ranch Country Club in Seal Beach to our home away, The Nixon Library. So far fall has been a month dedicated to new beginnings, happy newlyweds and all things cuddly.

Fit for TWO:

Couples are everywhere and some of the most vivacious and ideal pairs have stepped into our booth!

A Family Affair

Some of our favorite things about fall and winter months are the decor that embrace each ceremony and reception. We adored the Old Ranch Country Club for their elegance and white linen tables:

The Nixon Library was a hit at their annual Open House Event! 

In all our first 30 days of Fall was fantastic and we couldn't be more excited for the start of November and more events to come!
