A few months ago, I was chatting with Kelly over at Bright and casually mentioned that I had some ideas for a new display table at the aforementioned event gallery. I was ecstatic with the level of enthusiasm this was met with, and even happier when the girls let me see out my idea in...

Wedding Programs made easy

In my experience, nothing seems to stump a bride like the wedding program. By the time you reach this point in the planning process, you’re likely to be worn out making decisions that have anything to do with your wedding. Understood.
That’s why I’m providing...
September Charity
For the month of September, I have donated to Autism Speaks. The statistics concerning autism and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is startling: today 1 in 150 people are diagnosed with autism. This is more common than AIDS, pediatric cancer and diabetes COMBINED.
This cause is near and dear to my heart because my mom works in...
Teresa + Mike
Teresa and Mike were married Saturday at DC Ranch, and I had the opportunity to stop by to take a few photos while everything was being set up. Let me just begin by saying that Teresa goes in my client Hall of Fame for being so much fun to work with. I was actually a...
This takes the cake…
I am a girl obsessed with patterns. I shop for duvet covers on clearance so I can switch up the patterns in my room to match my mood, or the season, or whatever other excuse I can dream up. Same with pillows. And I should probably add patterned papers to the list.

I don’t care, just pick something that looks nice.” But the typefaces you choose really do make a difference. Careful consideration of this seemingly minute detail will make a huge difference in the overall impression you are...

Make it work
For my birthday this year, my husband bestowed upon me a gift that can only be described as priceless. He knows that I need occasional words of encouragement (who doesn’t, I ask?) and sometimes he’s away from his desk at work. So he more or less found me someone who can fill in for him...
Dress Codes Decoded
There was a fantastic article in the Wall Street Journal recently about how dress codes for fancy parties and the like have spiraled out of control. Here’s the gist:
“In recent years, party hosts have made dress-code descriptions ever more creative, trying to set a lively tone to keep their bashes from sounding run-of-the-mill. It’s no longer...
