Bougainvillea Love :)

How are you doing? My apologies for missing in action. I have family over from England and its been super busy. We are having an incredible time! Summer is such a great time to just slow down, enjoy some family time and spend time outdoors. We are going through heat wave which I am not enjoying at all. 
Seattle is not geared up for this kind of weather and we are baking :) However, the views are gorgeous. The skies are blue, the lakes are sparkling, the days are endless....the mountains look picture perfect and the sunsets are magnificent :)

 I wanted to share a few images of this stunning 15th Anniversary party featured on Style Me Pretty!. A party with a Mexican flair and pretty bougainvilleas. I could not help but smile as I went through all the images. Do you have a flower that reminds you of a special time or special someone?? For me, bougainvilleas remind me of my childhood. I spent many years in Rajasthan and bougainvilleas were the only flowers we ever saw. The pink and red hues dazzled against the sandy backdrop. I always feel nostalgic when I see them. You can see clearly why I am drawn to the pretty vignettes and spaces below! 

What is the flower that fills your head with memories??
