Club house Minnie & Mickey Birthday

It was so much fun styling a Club House Minni & Mickey 1st Birthday party for one of the most pleasant and adorable 1 year olds ever. Little Miss Stori enjoyed every minute of her day.

A Queen To Be: Kandi & Todd's Coming to America Themed Wedding

So now that the Wedding has taken place and The Real Housewives of Atlanta spin off confirmed are you just as excited as I am to see the wedding details of this lovely couple?? First pics published by InTouch Weekly reveal a Royal purple, Lush gold and Cream color palette.

Held at Atlanta's Le-Fais Do-Do, April 4, 2014, the inspiration for their fabulous affair is the 1988 movie Coming to America; its significance to Kandi and Todd stems from the couples introduction to each other while vacationing in Africa. Kandi has promised not to hold back on the lavish details like those that were displayed throughout the actuall movie. So far I see sparkling gold chair covers over gold toned chiavari chairs, ostrich feathers, beautiful draping, purple uplighting and cream & gold candle lights to adorn the tables. Admittedly, I am a little underwhelmed by her choice of invitations for such a lush affair but decided to comment and include a photo posted by Straight From the A despite possibably coming accross as a "hater"...lol; because I strongly believe that invitations set the tone of the event and is your guests first insight of whats to come.

Im pretty positive and hopeful that there is way more to come then what little we can see in these first pics. I really didn't care for her choice of tiara or necklace either (a little too pageant/prom looking for me) but the brides sheer nude gown does look to be inspired by the beautiful gold foil leaf looking gown worn by the prince of Zumunda's arranged wife, played by the stunning Vanessa Bell Calloway.

I have high hopes for this affair. InTouch Weekly reports that Kandi "emerged from behind a wall of ostrich feathered fans in a custom Reco Chapple gown with a 12 foot train" Whoa! talk about lux detailing. The entire wedding party, which included matron of honor Tamera Wynn, maid of honor Carmon Cambrice, Tameka ‘Tiny’ Harris, Fantasia Barrino, Love & Hip Hop Atlanta’s Rasheeda Frost, and RHOA’s Phaedra Parks and Joyce Dallas, wore all white and guest was asked to wear shades of purple.

When the spinoff airs I hope to see the likes of energetic Zumundian dancers in full costume. I know you want to say "this is not your wedding"...lol but his display of exotic beauty and choreography, at the ceremony of Prince Akeem's arranged wedding, was one of my favorite parts of the movie.

Kandy told Intouch Weekly that "the whole thing was like a fairytail". Good for her thats the feeling every bride deserves!!

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.

Wet Wellies

Although some say rain on your wedding day is good luck most people dread the thought of that unexpected shower or having rain in the forecast. We think that it’s the perfect excuse to add a fun, trendy element to your big day. I present four ways to rock wedding rain boots.

Make them your something blue. Can be the perfect pop of color.

Add a matching umbrella. Rain may not be ideal but it does make for a great photo op. 

Make them part of the bridal party fashion. Trust me you will not be sacrificing your style and you can give them to your bridesmaids as gifts. 

Rain boots are just down right fun and come in so many colorful varieties. You could dress your bridal party in a rainbow of colors!!

Lady In Red

Samba fever....all I can think about is how hot this color is. Standing alone and Samba will command attention. Add a little sparkle and woah!!!  This maybe one of falls hottest colors but I guarantee this will show up throughout winter. Fire Engine Red//Samba
