Spooky Dessert table

An all hallows eve party that invokes the ambiance of this season's American Horror Story: Coven.  With its foreboding dessert table, voodoo inspired drink bar and candy table.  It's almost too eerie to partake until you feast your eyes and taste buds on their delicious treats!

Wicked Witches Tea Party

How fantastic is this grown up spooky tea party.  Based on Macbeth's Act 4, "By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes", you can see the wording repeated in the decor and favors of this wicked tea party.  With a cream, white, and black color palette, the haunting crows and clocks really pop in the decor.  Loralee did a phenomenal job pulling the event together!



Vintage & Rustic Rehearsal Dinner

So the BIL (brother-in-law) and soon to be sister-in-law are hosting a welcome dinner this Friday before their wedding ceremonies.  Their welcome dinner is being hosted by extended family, and they have a beautiful outdoor space, which is perfect for the couple's rustic and vintage theme.  Imagine hay bales as seating around a bonfire, old whiskey barrels as high boys or the base for a smores bar, and drinks stations with mason jars for friends and family to toast the happy couple.  With any vintage and rustic theme natural elements play a big role.  Raw wood (barrels, and directional signage); jute, burlap, and twine (as table runners, or wrapped around tins or mason jars); cotton balls (as decor); vintage glass bottles (as decor or centerpieces).  Classic treats like spiked lemonade, iced tea, smore, and pies add the vintage element, and we love the idea of relabeling beer bottles your own brand of moonshine.  Create an interactive drink station using the beer bottles as a ring toss, where guests get a chance to wine a prize (or a drink) if they get a ring around a bottle.  This is a great alternative to corn holes, and adds the element of old school traveling carnivals.  Finally, add modern conveniences like an outdoor station with cool towels, shawls, sunscreen, and mosquito repellent for guests to stay comfortable.

Dream Big Dreams Baby Shower

I love the muted colors, sky and sunset, of this Dream Big Dreams baby shower.  It gives off a peaceful and dreamy ambiance, full of enchantment.  With hot air balloon accents,  gorgeous draping, suspended lanterns, and thoughtful herbs &  floral centerpieces, their church basement went from drab to fab.  Proving that you can have a beautiful event on a small budget, and in any venue.  Happy Thursday!

Southern Charm Wedding

I am so enamored with the charm and elegance of this romantic southern wedding.  In lovely blush and gold, quite possible my favorite color palette for weddings as of late.  The venue was a plantation home owned by the groom's side of the family, which is perfect because it held sentimental meaning, and is visually stunning.  I love that they played off of the plantation using Great Gatsby inspiration and gilded romance to build their dream wedding.  Finishing off this lovely wedding were the elegant little touches, the lush florals, and that gorgeous classic hatchback car.
