farm wedding

In my busy season I never shared this gorgeous fall farm wedding last October! I love giving you all a little glimpse at behind the scenes & snuck in some design plans to see how this was dreamed up.

On a personal note: I look at this wedding with so much anxiety still it was personally the most challenging wedding of mine to date. I had just moved 3 days before into our home we built & in the middle of doing IVF … my surgery was the day after this wedding. It’s amazing what you can accomplish if you set your mind to it. BUT I am SO incredibly thankful for my team, family & true friends who literally took care of everything for me when I could not lift 5 lbs or fit another detail into my brain. You are only as good as the people you surround yourself with & through stressful times you really see who is there for you :)

micro celebrations / macro impact

We all know events /weddings / parties have been the MOST effected this year. I went from having 12 events on my calendar to 2…that are even still pending. it is the year of saying “oh well” or accepting disapointments. Changing your plans is the theme for 2020. From cancellations to re-planning I wanted to share my top 5 solutions that can give your micro events macro impact in our “new normal”!

ALSO, exciting news… I have never done this before but I am now offering HOURLY CONSULTATION CALLS or E-DESIGN help for those who have great ideas but may need help executing it!

back to the post…

  1. STICK TO A THEME

    -I always say that a cohesive design begins at the very beginning. Most of the time that is with the paper goods. Now more than ever I feel that a small event or wedding should have a clear theme. Start with “pinning” pretty pictures then take a step back and see what common themes you have… from there dial into your top priorities and make a check list to accomplish this theme!

2. MAKE EVERY DETAIL COUNT

-This is always my motto but sometimes with larger head counts this can get a little lost. So the silver lining in these smaller micro style events is that it really allows for more time and planning on those small details. For example, starting with the entrance of a space I make a spreadsheet for each and every detail that will be present in each room. For tabletop I create a “mock” table setting with each item on the table listed underneath. This really helps me and my team on the day of when we are pressed with time to complete every task and detail!

3. SPEND MONEY WISELY

-Smaller headcount = smaller spend. It is no secret that having a large headcount eats away at your budget. The more people the more you spend 90% of the time. So now that you have a smaller guest list spend your budget on things your guests will notice and really take away with them. Tap into the senses: sight, smell, touch and sound.

SIGHT | flowers, flowers, flowers. the more the better! I am a huge flower lover so this is always where I say the more the merrier …if you are saying “oh they just die” — then I suggest you donate them to churches, businesses, HOSPITALS, and anyone who could need a pick me up during these times…which lets face it EVERYONE.

SMELL | flowers also contribute to the smell of your event, as well as lighting a signature scent which I do at every single doorway of one of my events. It immediately helps people feel in a cozy environment

TOUCH | upgrade those tabletop items: linens, flatware, glassware, etc! guests will spend more time at a seated dinner which means more time to check out the quality of the items on the table.

SOUND | music of any kind is CRUCIAL to creating a good vibe during an event. If you have the money and space capacity live music is always my choice because it is interactive with guests and leaves a long lasting impression!

4. CREATIVE DISPLAYS

-this goes along with your theme but I think a WOW factor is a creative display for a photo wall or a seating chart welcome. Even if it doesn’t have a purpose, the purpose is to give a warm welcome and add a little impact.

5. PARTY FAVORS

-usually I tell clients to skip this but now that you have a condensed guest list you have an opportunity to let guests leave with a memory, make sure the favor is something people will use again. Plus if its a smaller event feel free to use the favors within the decor like this cute leather journal used at an intimate dinner party!

summer picnic.

I am so excited to feel “normal” again. I had a few close friends over the other night and the fabulous caterer / chef in Nashville, Kristen Winston started “Kristens Pantry” this year. Initially we were going to do an outdoor picnic but a summer shower spoiled that plan. So I set the table using my new favorite melamine dishes / and colorful napkins.

Kristen dropped off meals for me to skip the cooking mess…If you are local to nashville or coming in town to visit it is the PERFECT way to feed your people. She offers full catering, to go catering, and grab + go box to feed your friends / family during this time. Whether its an outdoor picnic or just having dinner at home this is my new solution when I don’t feel like cooking!

pretty in pinks.

Inspired by the new perfectly pink Graduate Hotel rooftop “white limozeen” I pulled together all the pink items I am loving right now! Pink is a year round color but I especially love it in the summer. ENJOY

beachy.

My mother in law has the best taste. Since being down in the bahamas we had many nights in + many chances to set the table. She has the cutest melamine plates + serving platters that I had to share them and some others I found that I love. They are perfect for easy cleanup, meals by the water or dining with kids (no breaking!)

pizza night in paradise

the bahamas announced they were opening the border up so we left as soon as we could!

a lot is closed still down here so we decided each night a different person is to cook for the group so we chose our meal as pizza night! we made 6 different pizzas + I set the table with these cute paper placemats —they are great for a pop of color plus perfect for messy nights because you can throw them away!

pizza types + ingredients

  1. peach pizza | pesto base /burrata/sliced peaches/ prosciutto/ salt + pepper / drizzle honey after cooked

  2. margarita | tomato base (I love RAO’s) / mozzarella/ basil/ salt + pepper

  3. veggie | wheat dough/ tomato base/ olives/ sundried tomato / garlic cloves/ shredded mozzarella/ topped with arugula

  4. fig + prosciutto | pesto base /dalmaltia fig spread/ goat cheese/ proscuitto

  6. classic pepperoni | tomato base / pepperoni/ shredded cheese mixture

easter.

I can’t let COVID-19 ruin my second favorite holiday. I still dressed up my table and got together some pretty flowers to share my love of everything easter. While we are not able to worship the day we can still be present and give gratitude for everything it represents. I hope you still enjoy this day with family / loved ones.

A few years ago I made a “resolution” to read a book a month at bedtime instead of being on my phone — I still keep up with the habit. I always gravitate towards the murder mystery category so these are some of my recent favorites.

beach bachelorette.

Gracia’s beach bachelorette.

first off …you know I am all about a theme ….

I reached out to the talented Carly Creative Co. to create a custom crest for the whole weekend + she really captured Gracia’s style + the bahamas. She is also one of Gracia’s bridesmaids so she knows her so well…the perfect person to call! She created a custom crest and from there we ordered stickers, custom cups, menu cards + itinerary cards to use throughout the weekend and put in the bags! It is easier than you think to do this and the mindful details leave people with a long lasting memory …plus the bride feels extra special going one extra step!

TIP: If you want to do this yourself and you don’t have a personal connection to a graphic designer reach out to the person of your choice and ask if they can do something similar for you! Let them know your location / venues you are going to / your style / your favorite colors, etc.…so they have a grasp on the theme!

  1. THE BAGS

I wanted everyone to have a warm welcome when they got to the bahamas after a long travel day! So I put together these welcome bags for all of the girls filled with some of the best items while at the beach!

When I was searching for good bags to give the girls I looked for things that looked cute but also something that people would wear again…but still a good price point because 17 bags add up! It was also important to find one that was easier to pack because they all had to fit in a suitcase to transport down there. Below are some great affordable beach bags I found and love for this!


inside the bags:

  • the robes: I had the same mentality about the robes.. good looking, something people will use again + affordable. PLUS There is nothing better than putting on a soft robe after a little too much sun! The first robe is the one I chose because it was in theme, so soft + a great price point. I also liked these other options too.

inside the bags:

these smaller items were great to order in bulk via amazon + I put one packet of each inside a clear bag with the logo sticker on the front! These are all great items to use while at the beach and in the sun + I added a little valentines love in there since we arrived on 2/14.


for the bridal dinner night

it is no secret I love a good dinner party…especially when there is something to celebrate. we got a local bahamanian chef to come over and cook us something on the last night of the trip. we decided to have it as a “white night” and everyone but the bride came in white! Here are the items I used to create this dinner!
