this past saturday was the best start to a wedding season that i could have ever hoped for. despite the wretched roads, i made it to the butler art institute early to do the set up that molly entrusted me with. the venue and the timeline i was under allowed for lots of fun set...
move over fans and pyramids, because the draped napkin fold was the “in fold” for 2009. nine of my 25 weddings this year had draped-over-the-table napkin folds!
what i really like about this fold is that it draws your guests’ eyes to the center of the table with all napkins pointing straight towards your centerpiece decor. it’s...
i met with a friend/recent bride last night and she was telling me about her escort cards so i of course insisted on seeing a photo. lauren and her husband scott decided to use the cities where they had traveled to name their tables in lieu of simply numbering them. because there were no numbers...
yesterday i logged into facebook to see i was tagged in a photo of a card box. my november client, traci, was inspired by the “pride and joy” card box i made for jillian and kevin and made one herself! didn’t it turn out sooo cute?
so here’s a reader response question for you: she added the...
on this past saturday afternoon, i helped these two love birds, sarah & matthew, with setting up their reception at st. clarence pavilion.
the pavillion is rather awesome since all of the walls are windows that let in some great natural light. thank goodness it was a nice sunshine-y day! i loved the strung lights too.

tables and chair covers were ivory with wine colored...
my wedding friday started at guys party center where i took inventory of the nearly three dozen glass containers and pounds upon pounds of candy that maureen had left for me the day before. while i did that, i got to chat with my friend, jacqui, of cmykakes who was putting together one of the...
table numbers how-tos: svetlana’s table numbers or codi’s photo table numbers
i had someone mention to me that my bows always looks the same and hang the right way, so i thought i’d do a really quick how-to tie a nice bow and show you jillian’s table numbers which match oh-so-lovely with her invitations and flip flop...
my new friend jacqui from cmykakes and i attended VIVA LA ROCK held at (where else?) the rock and roll hall of fame last night. i was formally invited by another new friend, emmalie from executive caterers who had these awesome shoes that lit up when she walked – very rock-esque
the event was...
are you throwing “green” or “natural” or “organic”-themed wedding? or are you and your fiance(e) into running, hiking, biking and everything active… and are big protein consumers? OR maybe you’re not a big candy fan, but you love the idea of a buffet for your wedding favors? mix it up: literally! in lieu of a...
