Take Just A Moment

Make sure and your new hubby slip away from the excitement of the ceremony and reception to have a moment, to reflect, breathe, and take your new life in as one.... Then get back to partying.

Cake of the Month - Calming Winter

I love the calming blue paired with the brown branches. It reminds me of a cold, yet sunny January day in Atlanta...and to top it off with love birds...sweet.

Walking Red

What a great way to add a little pop of color to your wedding attire.


Aren't the groom's socks great.

Happy New Year

All Wrapped Up

Who would't love these beautiful boxes sitting under their Christmas Tree. Better yet, you can print out these designs yourself (using 11x17 paper) and wrap a way. Also a great idea for for a card box at your wedding.

Cake of the Month - Red Passion

Absolutely beautiful. Even though the cake is not red itself, the lighting, votive candles, and roses still set the tone and influence the apparent color of red. Masterfully done.

Christmas Wedding Favors

This is a great idea for favors for weddings during the Christmas sesaon, commemorative ornaments representing your special day. Guests will pull out thier ornament each year and remember the great time they had at your wedding celebration. The ornaments below can be found here.

What is There Not to Love

I have an obsession with chandelier earrings. They are just so pretty. My bridesmaids wore them and they looked fabulous. Wearing your hair back off of your face really makes the earrings stand-out. The sparkle they give off is incredible. And of course if you are like me, the look is more important than the price. And you won't believe the prices for these gems found here. Vintage Glamour...there is nothing like it. here

Let It Snow

Today I got a glimpse of winter as the small snow flurries hit my face while heading back from lunch. So of course this rarely seen occurence in Atlanta inspired this post.... Why not a snowflake themed wedding this winter even if it is in well known "Hot"lanta, It is your day, so if you want snow you can have snow!

Thankful Thinking

At the conclusion of this Thanksgiving holiday, I am thankful for so many thiings; thankful to wake up each and everyday with the ability to praise God for opening my eyes to my wonderful husband, having a job to drive to, a mother to laugh with, a brother to call and friends and family to pray for, a nation towards progress.

In preparation for the Christmas season, I have continued the tradition that was started by my parents growing up of having my Christmas tree up by Thanksgiving. I figure I might as well enjoy it for the entire sesaon, why do all of that work for just a few days, it only happens once a year. This year my Christmas color palette is blue and green, with a hint of purple and silver. Wondering you may... but trust me it is beautiful. Here are a few things within my color pallette that I hope inspire you. Enjoy and be thankful this holiday season!

Pink Honey

I think this color combo would be great for fall. The colors of honey and pink give rich hues, but still gleam softness. Don't you love the cake!
