The Sweetest Occasion

I am popping in quickly this morning to share some photos from last night’s Oscars party, as promised last week. I will, however, be taking a short break from blogging this week, at least for a few days. Something happened over the weekend that has completely rocked me to my core, made me think long [...]

My good friend Carolynn of Two Brunettes and her husband Adam are major movie buffs so every year they plan a really fun party to celebrate the Academy Awards. This year is no exception so Carolynn and I have spent the last few weeks brainstorming ideas for the party and yesterday spent the afternoon crafting. [...]

I guess I’m feeling like summer this week because this table setting made me pause in my tracks immediately. The soft ocean-inspired color palette and details paired with sleek modern style make this so appropriate for so many occasions. I love the mix of color, pattern and texture – it feels both playful and yet [...]

If you’re like me and you’ve caught Olympic fever this past week, you’re going to be wishing you thought to have an amazingly cool Olympic-themed party like this one. And luckily, you still have time to get one organized and bring everyone together for an evening of cheering on Team USA. (Or your delegation of [...]

When I saw this pretty spring garden party designed by the talented lady behind imprintables, I knew I had to share – it’s like a breath of fresh air in the midst of what is starting to feel like an impossibly long, cold winter.

Yesterday, Nikole posted about, of all things, icing cakes and meeting boys and [...]

For some reason I’ve had tea parties on the brain lately. There is just something about a good tea party that I associate with warm spring days, carefree laughter, sugar, spice and everything. I love these tea party ideas from Wedding Style Guide from the bright color palette to the cake piled high with pink, [...]

Erica is an awesome bride I am working with to coordinate her gorgeous fall wedding in the Finger Lakes (to be photographed by one of my favorites, Megan Dailor) and she’s currently on the hunt for budget-friendly engagement party inspiration. Seeing Erica’s call for ideas via Twitter this weekend, I thought of this anniversary party [...]

I want to go to Greece. And I want there to be candelight glowing from pretty pink lanterns on a table topped with blue and white gingham linens. I want there to be laughter and running about the surf barefoot and the hazy mist of twilight all around. Because to me, today, this looks a [...]

A quick break from all of the holiday talk today to share a few photos from the cute backyard bbq rehearsal dinner the lovely Kathryn posted on Snippet & Ink last week. I adore the cute invitations paired with kraft paper envelopes, the bright checked table linens and fun retro soda pop bottles lining the [...]
