Yesterday I decorated a shabby chic themed first birthday! Pearls, lace and all things frilly were necessary. When the client told me the color scheme she wanted to go with I got giddy, as I too am a lover of all things mint, pink, and let’s face it… adorable! I decided to do a fringe backdrop in gold, pink, and mint to tie in the frills. The custom shadow box on the right was a great addition to the table and doubled as a keepsake to hang on the birthday girl’s wall. I painted it gold, adding pictures of the birthday girl and filling it with lace, pearls, and decor related to her first birthday. The happy birthday banner matched the backdrop perfectly with tulle at each end to add a nice touch to the shabby chic theme. I decided to go simple with florals using shades of pink and white roses and baby’s breath. The cake was a stunning rose design in fuscia pink. The first birthday cake topper had oodles of ribbon and sparkles and was the perfect addition to the cake! The client wanted party favors and thank you’s that coordinated with the party. The favors were bite sized cookies with mint and pink icing made by Sweet Bri’s Bakery. I put them in mini boxes with glitter one’s on top of them. I designed a postcard style thank you that was fun and whimsical incorporating elements from her party invitation. I finished off the table with gold foil balloons that spelled out one and some over sized pink balloons to add a fun touch. Around other parts of the house guests sat at tables with mason jars filled with pink and white roses atop pink linens. Check out some of the details below!

This weekend I decorated a fabulous bachelorette party! The bride loves camping and all things outdoors. Since it’s Texas, and it’s July…we decided glamping (glamorous camping) was the perfect idea! The decor was inspired from a camping atmosphere, having bags of trail mix, and a make-your-own smores station! The custom champagne labels really put a nice touch to commemorate the occasion! Bride tribe snack sacks were filled with goodies such as nail polish, lip balm, and some fabulous sunglasses. All necessary essentials for any girl! The backdrop was a wall of fun, oversized fringed crate paper in colors that coincided with the fabulous bohemian fabric banner. A made to look real fire, and lanterns really turned the room into a magical glamping space! Look at some details below!

Last Thursday I planned a casual, Southern themed rehearsal dinner. The client was hosting numerous guests from out-of-town and wanted to show them some good ol’ Southern hospitality! After brainstorming ideas with the client we came up with a Southern plantation theme. The navy blue gingham brought a lot of detail to different pieces of the decor and the pops of yellow throughout added the perfect touch. Custom made picture frames were placed at each table for guests to see a glimpse of photos of the bride and groom. Dinner was comfort food consisting of fried chicken and mashed potatoes, so custom placemats and burlap wrapped silverware brought the rustic theme into play. Guests were asked to sign a Jenga piece as a fun keepsake for the bride and groom. I’m still gushing over the gorgeous florals done by Stephanie of The Pearl Petal. The yellow billy balls and blue thistles accented the mini white hydrangeas perfectly. The stunning chalkboard calligraphy was done by Love Nest Creative. Check out some of the details below!
