Show off that beautiful back! I love everything about this dress. The color, the Lace + Lowback = Snazzy little do!

  



This playful gown features V-shaped back, lace sleeves and flowing ruffles down the back of the dress. this style would look great on most.

 

Innocent and breath taking were the first words that came to my mind when I saw this dress. The  sweet bow that is met at the bottom of the v-shaped back line together with the dazzeling jewel detail that falls off the shoulders screams luxuary.  







This dress fits your body like a glove. I love the ivory color and black band detail on the waist not to mention the V-shaped back and draped sleeves. Sexy baby!

FUN PHOTO PROPS

Photo props are a sure way to add a little extra fun to your event. Section off a space where your guest can find a variety they can use to pose with. What I love most is that photo props really help you capture those memorable moments and all the fun everyone is having. It's fun for all ages and the fact is no matter how nice your still photos are they wont have you laughing for years to come. Props can bring out anyone's goofy side and the result will be priceless. Follow my Pinterest board, Dont just stand there!, for other photo inspiration. 

A gigantic polaroid frame prop can be used to transform group pictures into photo-booth style fun. Have several friends join in to create lasting memories, silly faces included.  Write a personalized caption to remember your event.  

Grab an extra large picture frame and a magic marker and draw a one dimension shape on the glass of a photo frame for amusement-style photos. Think hats, mustache, smiles and comic-style thinking bubbles.   

I love this photo wall featuring life size cutouts so your guest to capture there own spunky poses.

A simple die cut photo frame can enhance an still photo. 

Extra large helium filled balloons are simple and chic but also makes a big impact in an otherwise still photo.  

How cool is this? Line up your friends and have them write a caption on a blank sheet of paper then take a picture against a blank background. Edit your pictures with event name and date and bam! you have great mug-shot style photos that can be used for ransom later.  

A chalkboard back drop is the perfect photo prop and will keep your guest busy. They can create and erase there own special message and be as simple or detailed as they like.  

Use sparklers to deliver a simple message.

Who doesn't love silly photos. Young or old your guest will have tons of fun using random props to enhance their photos. Set up a table where your guest can find huge glasses, mustache or lips on a stick, boas, shades, masks and comic book caption bubbles. I promise the laughs are endless.

Fashionable Foods

When it comes to hosting an event one of the most important factors is food. Selections can represent your culture, favorite foods and theme. There is a lot of room to get creative and showcase what you love about food. More then ever host are shying away from regular sit-down dinners and buffets and doing more small plates, specialized stations and passed hors d'Ouevres. No matter what catering style you select remember its all about presentation. People eat with their eyes so even if you opt for comfort foods make sure the display is visually stimulating.  Fun, fashionable food adds oomph to the overall event so don't be afraid to get funky. Your guest will be delighted at the experience and leaving them talking about your event for weeks. I want to inspire you and help satisfy your inner foodie so consider this:

Mix and Mingle
Cocktail style events scream trendy! Its a stylish, fun way of entertaining and allow your guest to mix, mingle and munch. Because it can be as extravagant or as simple as you like it is a catering style that is fitting for any birthday party, wedding reception, anniversary or holiday party, charity benefit, housewarming or promotional event. One of the biggest concerns with a cocktail style menu is making sure guest don't leave hungry so it is wise to chose quality over quantity. Think hardy bites rather than more of the less filing options.

Specialized stations

Stations and Bars
S'mores your favorite dessert? Set up a S'mores station and let your guest roast their own. Try a mashed sweet potato bar with brown sugar, toasted pecans, mini marshmallows, butter, cinnamon, raisins and crushed pineapple for toppings. Or create an artisan pizza station where guest can sample a variety of fresh pizza with various toppings. How about pizza with pear, gorgonzola and carmalized onions, spinach and chicken alfredo, chipotle chicken with red onion and cilantro or carmalized peaches, salmon and red onions. Talk to your caterer about what flavors you like the options are endless.

Interactive experience

Experience the Making of a Cuisine
A huge trend right now is make food more interactive for a truly unique dining experience that is entertaining. You can have a chef shucking oysters or rolling sushi right in front of you at a sushi bar. It's fun to watch.

BRUNCH

BRUNCH

Brunch
Brunch has become extremely popular because its a great way to stick to your budget. Day time events are cheaper but more than that brunches can set a stylish tone. Imaging your guest arriving, all decked out in their fabulous dress, cool shades and/or amazing hats ready to eat, mingle and sit down for tea, bellini's or mimosa's.

FOOD TRUCK

Food Truck
Having a food truck is a sure way of taking your event to the next level.

CAKE POP

I'm always encouraging clients to think outside of the box. A colorful, busy cake is one of the new cake trends that I absolutely adore. Your cake is one of the highlights of your soiree or wedding so it needs to make a statement. These show stopping cakes will definitely be a highlight of the party!!

Color Of the Year

Emerald green made a big splash in 2013 claiming color of the year. It is the color of elegance and can be fabulously paired with apple green, gold and royal blue to create a lush effect. How will you add emerald green in your world this fall?

BOLD AND NEUTRAL

Bold and neutral Turbulence Grey is the perfect selection to set the palette for insurmountable options for accents colors. How can you not love the classic paring with white. Sharp, crisp and soft but bold at the same time. Now imagine adding Blush, Soft Blue or School Bus Yellow. If you really want to be the trendiest in "the room" then pair with Samba, Koi or Vivacious. That should get your creative juices flowing.  ;)

ThinkBerry

Acai: This exotic purple adds richness to the palette. Dont be afraid to pair it with indigo or fushia. Acai will give you that pop if your looking to make a statement with color.

Bring the Inside Outside

Outdoor lounges for your event is definately whats in! We know fall is here but that doesnt mean that you have to move indoors yet. Add a few outdoor heaters and you can still have that perfect outdoor soiree. We love to keep you up to date with whats in style in event decor and were hoping that these outdoor settings inspire you.
