Couture. Sophisticated. Chic. Modern. Stylish. You.

As you may have imagined the orders are pouring in for our monogrammed cake toppers.  Today I finished a Swarovski crystal topper for one of my Texas clients.  She will be here this weekend, just in time to receive her completed and gorgeous topper.

We had the pleasure of participating in a few bridal shows this week!  The first, bridal show at the River Center, was quite fun and I decided to go with a funky fun and fresh look.  Many of the guests at the show enjoyed the tablescape and I was quite pleased with it.  Tell me what you think!!

Here's the awesome recycled cardbox from the wedding on Friday.  It was used to collect brides' information.

Here's our fun and funky tablescape.  Yes, the cake is on a pedestal and inside the pedestal is a spider mum and a light. I LURVED this look.

Here is the centerpiece from tonight.  I was very inspired today by baby's breath.

This was my version of the centerpiece.  Mine is a bit more organic and made sassy with the polka dots.  Definitely let me know what you think...

I created this inspiration board because of it's simplicity of design.  The bird cage veil is courtesy of Sarah Gabriel!  Simply exquite, most of the other pictures were perused via internet searches and on the knot.  If these are yours, feel free to let me know and I will give you credit. 

Come visit the area's leading wedding vendors at the Something Old Something New Bridal Show on Sunday August 30th.  The newest trends will be showcased while keeping in touch with our southern roots!  Now that's my kind of show!! There will be special door prizes given to brides including a $25.00 gift certificate with purchase from yours truly!! Good luck and I hope to see you there!!!

I had so much fun at the  Desert Plantation Show!!! Here are a few pictures! My inspiration was Southern Belle meets modern chic.... I loved it!!!

Loving How this couple made it their own!!

Color Inspiration!  I am in love with the new modern take on color!  It's everywhere!  Whether you pull your event colors from a favorite pair of shoes, a favorite fruit, or an indulgent whim, color is everywhere, and it's here to stay!!  Here are a few examples of taking color and making it your own.

Pictures are taken from my obssessive perusal of the internet, for the past 10 years, if they are yours, let me know and I will credit you!!
