Who knew baby's breath could actually look pretty?!
I spotted this stunning wedding over at JL Designs and just saw that Natasha from Fete Fanatic just wrote a post about it too. See more of the gorgeous photos here.

I've been busy getting ready for Nicklaus' sing-a-long party tomorrow, so I am sorry my posts have been few and far between! I can't wait to share the party with you!

The party colors are navy and kelly green, so it was so fun to see this fabulous party put on by Sharnel in Australia!

California Dreamin' & A Texas Hoedown
This is such a fun twist on two great themes! My friend Sarah is originally from California, but has lived in Texas since college. To celebrate her son's first birthday, they threw TWO parties...one back home in California and one in Texas with all of her Texas friends.
The party in California had a Western theme to show her family and old friends how we do things here. =) Then, the party in Texas had a California beach theme for us Texans to enjoy.
Everyone received the two-sided invitation in the mail. One side had the Texas party details and the other stated the information for the California party guests.
I wasn't able to help her in person, but we went back and forth through e-mail to come up with some cute idea. Sarah did a fantastic job with the party decor which I will share very soon. Stay tuned for more!

Real Parties: A Silver & Teal Celebratory Dinner
My photography skills are SHAMEFUL and I am very reluctant to share these with you because it does not do the party justice one bit!! I have been spoiled rotten by my photographer friends who shoot my parties. But I promised and maybe one person out there actually has been waiting to see these. So here goes...
I was so excited because the hostess wanted to use ghost chairs which I have been dying to use! They were gorgeous and gave the space a clean, modern feel. We cleared the living room of all furniture and brought in two long tables that each sat 20 people.
The colors were silver, teal and white which we carried throughout the entire party. Hayley Hardcastle designed the box invitation as well as the other paper goods like the menu above. A personal chef catered the event and guests feasted on a 10 course meal.
A mannequin (long story!) held a larger menu near the chef's station so guests could take a closer look at what was being prepared.
One of the flower arrangements...we used white roses and peonies.
Cocktail napkins with the guest of honor's initials.
The favor table.
Again, I apologize for my terrible photography skills! It really was a gorgeous party and I wish I had hired a photographer...oh well!
