work in progress ~ follow the yellow brick road




Here is a work in progress piece.  Camille, a client of mine, is throwing a Wizard of Oz themed bridal shower.  I love themed parties! Not only are they fun for guests but they give your party structure during the planning process and in turn it makes the event easier to design and plan.  Inspiration for these colors were "Over the Rainbow."  This is such a cute concept and I am glad to have been a part of it.

Happy Planning!

Meet Everyone! This week’s get to know you question is: What was your most embarrassing hair style?

 {Host} Kim - from 2 just B you: Oh no...My worst hair style was when I was a kid and thought I could cut my own hair. I cut bangs, and they were completely uneven. Worst part...Picture Day at school was the next day. And my parents didn't want to fix my hair cut (they said something about me learning a lesson?). So, NO, we did NOT buy those photos!

{Host} Laurie - from Created By Laurie: Whenever I get bored I usually will go to a salon and tell the stylist they can do what they think would look good on me. It’s nice to see a different look, usually one I wouldn’t have thought of. This one guy went completely opposite and ending up coloring my hair super dark and cut it to my chin. I know it’s a risk, but hair can be recolored and grows back. I just ended up looking goth for a few days till I colored it again!

 {Co Host} Sandy – from Savard Studios: My most embarrassing hairstyle was from the 80’s big hair days. Permed poodle hair with high poufy bangs. The goal was, how high could you get your bangs? Of course it wasn’t embarrassing at the time, because everyone was doing that. What were we thinking?

 {Featured Guest} Shelly – from Company Forty-Two: My most embarrassing hair style is when I cut it all off. I am not kidding. I was having a bad hair day and was sick of dealing with it so I took a pair of scissors and hacked it off. When I went to the salon for them to fix it the only thing they could do is shave it! So one can only image what curly hair looks like growing back in...I looked like a CHIA PET. It took 3 years for it to grow out! I won’t be doing that again ;-)

practice makes perfect



Rehearsal dinners are probably the most over-looked event in the wedding process.  There are a lot of frazzled nerves the night before the wedding so it is no wonder brides and grooms might keep the rehearsal dinner simple and sweet.  But rehearsal dinners need a little love too!  This is the last time you will gather with your family and friends as a single girl or gal and it is a perfect time to thank all of the special people who have come together to make your wedding memorable. One good way to do this is to use photos of family and friends in your decor (like in a couple of pics above.)  So have some fun and reward yourself for all of the sweat and tears you have poured into your wedding!

Happy Planning!
