Wedding Planning Tips: Transportation

{via ead}

It is really a generous and nice gesture to provide transportation for your guests...especially when your wedding is far away or up a mountain or there will be heavy drinking involved...but, if you want your guests to arrive to your wedding on time and sober do not rent a party bus for the trip there (the return trip? I say go for it!). Make sure to tell guests that the bus will depart at least a half hour before it is actually scheduled because there will always be those few stragglers. Oh...and make sure to tell the driver...no beer runs along the way!

Inspiration Board: HITCHED Street Chic

Concrete Love


Words like street chic and modern came out in our first chats about the table design for Hitched. Leigh Anne was the one who first started talking about graffiti which led to the cinder blocks which became the basis of our inspiration board with a few chic and classicly modern elements thrown in.

Sneak Peek from Hitched!

Hitched was amazing! Paige and Kelly of Bash, Please! really pulled something off that was extraordinary and original and fun. This is a little sneak peek from the table I designed with my awesome partner-in-crime Leigh-Anne of The Floral Lab. We wanted to create something that was a little unexpected and a lot less anthro and vintage. I still couldn't help bringing it back a little bit with a reference to my favorite candy from childhood! Exist 1981 created these INSANE graffiti cinder blocks for our centerpieces. I made the hot pink chevron napkins, dipped the flatware in white paint and wrapped the votives with some hot pink gimp (another throw back to 80s!). Can't wait to be able to share more with you from this incredible event!

We're getting HITCHED!


I can't wait for HITCHED! tomorrow night! I have been cutting, folding, gluing, sewing in preparation for what will most likely be the raddest wedding event ever. Now I just need to find a comfy pair of dancing shoes so I can keep up with Michael!


Who's going to be there!? Stop by and say howdy!

Have a great weekend!

Online Planning

{nothing to do with Online Planning...I just like it...from Davina + Daniel}

I have decided to add another customizable package to my Event and Planning Design Services. It seems like so many people prefer to work by email now especially if they are planning a destination wedding or just can't find the time to go to wedding planning meetings on top of their already super busy schedules. Online Planning is a new tool that can help Internet-savvy couples, couples with a small budget or couples planning from afar get the help and guidance that they need without spending extra time or money.

Take a looksie at my services (new and old). They can all be personalized for the perfect fit!
