Rustic Luxe Bridal Shower

How lucky was I to be asked to design an elegant, country-inspired dessert table and setting for a very special bride-to-be!?  I loved every aspect from the beautiful linens we chose, to the fun barnwood vases for the antique roses. Working outdoors proved to be a little bit of a challenge, as the weather was a bit unsettled with strong wind gusts and humid temps.  And while the very strong gusts of wind prohibited me from following through on a few ideas we had hoped for, mainly the beautiful hanging paper lanterns lit with market lighting, and placing/standing framed pictures and wish boards on the outer edges of tables as opposed to setting them far back so they wouldnt blow over, it turned out to be a beautiful evening that the guests enjoyed tremendously. Enjoy!

As always, thank you to the wonderfully talented artists out there, who help make these beautiful parties possible!

Expecting a Sweet Lil' Monkey

I was honored to help host my daughter-in-law's baby shower this past weekend and what a great time we had!  The 7.5 hour drive down to Virginia was more than worth it, as she loved all the designs and had such fun with friends and family!  Thanks again to all my party friends out there, who always make these beautiful events possible with their creativity and love of a good party!  Enjoy!
