Daisy’s Baltimore Baby Shower
Jun 29 2016 ·1As you may know from my previous posts, my newborn granddaughter Daisy is facing several health challenges. I am happy to report that while testing is ongoing, Daisy is thriving at home with Emily and Nick. Daisy is so deeply loved by so many! A few weeks ago I attended an intimate baby shower given for the proud new parents. Hosted by Nick’s mom Julie Anne and a dear family friend, Miss Diane, it was a lovely affair with many heartfelt and thoughtful details. I couldn’t resist sharing a peek…
Guest Post: Glorious Graduation Party
Jun 10 2015 ·0Today I have a special treat for you ~ a guest post written by my friend and Assistant Extraordinaire, Jen Bowles. Jen recently designed and hosted one of the most creative and colorful graduation parties I’ve ever attended. Her daughter, Ebby, obviously deserved a wonderful party ~ she was Salutatorian of her class and gave an amazing speech at the graduation ceremony. I just love how Jen took a unique and personal theme and built the party around it. Come take a peek…
I guess you could say I enjoy planning parties ;-). For Ebby’s graduation party I knew I didn’t want a typical theme ~ no high school colors (green & white), no paper goods with bright primary colors. Not that there’s anything wrong with those things, I just strive to be more unique and personal when I design a party. So I looked to Ebby for inspiration. Her middle name is Blossom, she loves books, reading, and her job at the library–boom, theme!
Emily’s Colorful Custom Bridal Shower
Mar 26 2015 ·2After months of planning, this weekend it was finally time for Emily’s Bridal Shower! On Sunday, the bridesmaids, the Brother of Honor and I hosted the festive gathering. I am so excited to share the details of this lovely occasion!
Throughout the planning process, I have been so creatively energized with custom ideas to make the day extra special. I was thrilled to see these ideas come to life for the shower.
It all started with the invitation. I feel the invitation really sets the stage for the event. For Emily’s shower invitation I hand painted the design with watercolors and then added one of my favorite quotes.
Posh Parties: Designing A Bridal Shower
Jul 30 2014 ·0Tis the season to shower brides with love and best wishes. Yes, my head is filled with hearts and flowers and romance since my own daughter, Emily, has gotten engaged. This weekend was the icing the on the cake (hehehe) as Emily co-hosted the Bridal Shower of her dear friend Jessica at my home.
Here is a look of the event from the “behind the scenes” to the actual party, along with some of my tips for a memorable and meaningful gathering. Hopefully you will find some inspiration for your next event!
