Stacey and John 12-19-09

We had a ball helping Stacey and John plan their Christmastime wedding. Stacey was one of the kindest, easy-going bride’s we have ever seen, and she and John adore each other. The couple met at a December wedding just two years earlier and quickly fell in love. When it came time to plan their own wedding they decided it would be fitting to have a December wedding themselves. The formal southern affair featured the largest wedding party we have worked with, fabulous food and a whole lot of dancing. Stacey and John were married at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in downtown Atlanta, the very same church where her grandparents wed. A festive reception followed at The Capital City Club in downtown Atlanta where guests danced the night away to the sounds of Papa Sol. I’m not sure I have ever seen a Bride and Groom dance as much as they did. It was a magical night for a magical couple and we were so thrilled to be involved and make new friends. We wish Stacey and John (and Scout) all the best as they make their new home together in Birmingham! Below are some images captured by the amazing Laura Negri Photography.

Once in A Blue Moon New Year's

Did you know that a blue moon is defined as the second full moon in a calendar month? It happens once every two years, hence the expression "once in a blue moon." There will be a blue moon this New Year's Eve!! This rare combination of events takes place about once every 20 years.

I think that is cause for extra celebration! Why don't you host a Blue Moon New Year's Eve!

We are hosting one! All decor, favors and balloon drop will be in shades of blue and silver. Guests will sip Blue Moon Beer and a signature BlueMoontini! The DJ will play special "Blue" Songs throughout the evening such as "Blue Suede Shoes, Blue Moon and Blue Skies". At midnight we will serve Moon Pies and invite guests outside to ring in the New Year with fireworks and a view of the Blue Moon!

Wishing you successful New Year's Eve party plans!

Holiday Decorating Ideas

Taking a page from my mom's Holiday table. I love that she used a mirror as the base of her centerpiece, what a great idea to add some holiday sparkle! She also used an antique ice bucket and filled it with leftover ornaments. Easy ways to jazz up your entertaining space!
