Steak Superb

Have you been craving a YUMMY cut of beef? The best selection of potatoes and sides galore? Is your  mouth watering yet??

Think about your rehearsal dinner or your next birthday dinner- doesn't that sound like the kind of food you'd like to share with your most treasured guests? After sampling the delectable fare at Little Steak Alley today, I'd HAPPILY recommend this as a next event venue. The space is superb. The staff is, too.  And the food? Yep, it's just that good. See for yourself!

The AMAZING spread-served family style. SO good!
Don't forget the yummy desserts. An array of beautiful treats that taste as good as they look!
Be still my heart.
Where is this phenomenal food, you ask? Located in hip and happenin' Historic Roswell on Canton Street. Get there, STAT. Try the food. You won't be disappointed. And we will certainly recommend this to any and all looking for a great, intimate venue..with a killer menu. Fun AND filets...now that's just FABULOUS!! Hope to catch you all there soon!

Until then, Happy Celebrating!

I was able to see some of this Spring's most gorgeous designs from Winnie Couture tonight, and they were GORGEOUS. A great colleague and designer friend and I went to Winnie Couture Flagship Bridal Salon in Buckhead tonight for the Pink for the Cure Cocktail Launch Party- benefiting the The National Breast Cancer Foundation.....and let it was so much fun. Great cause and great fashions?! Yes, please!!

I'm sure you're wondering about the styles...lots of satin, silk, and lace. Simply stunning!!!

Another common theme? Lots of mermaid and fitted styles with flair, cascading ruffles and dramatic touches sure to wow every guest and give every bride sweet dreams of her wedding for years to come.

 Screaming Romance in a subtle and Gorgeous way


Don't forget the draping accessories....baubles and bangles are BIG again, as are the bird cage veils, and even bridal fascinators.

And NEVER forget...attending events with good friends makes EVERYTHING in life more fun!!! <3 <3


Happy Celebrating!

ACCENTUATION inspiration



Weekly Inspiration Alert!

I am LOVING  this trend right now.*So much, in fact, that I'm quite sure that it's not just a trend. This simple inclusion to any  wardrobe, home, or event is something so memorable that it will be a staple on the color scheme scene for years to come.

So, what's "accenting?" It's quite simple. You probably accent a lot more than you realize on a daily basis. Maybe you pair a super cute wide RED belt with a simple black dress, to give that dress a splash of "fun." Yep, you've got it. That's precisely what "ACCENTING" is....see, you're already doing it right?


Lots of folks choose to accent in their homes with a signature accent wall..like this....  
 




We are seeing LOTS more accent nails....(which I have personally tried with gray nails and a plum accent-SUPER LOVED)....Try your own like these we found on Pinterest:

                                     




 Or these like our lovely client and past bride, Linda C. submitted to us:


 Talk about making your BLING BLING!!! Love it! Especially because it shows off the rings so beautifully....:)


If you are falling head over feet for this style..and want to accent your wedding a little more...First, pick your shade. Remember Shelby from Steel Magnolias? Blush and Bashful. Well, she gets 2 because she IS Shelby and Steel Magnolias is one of my favorite movies of all times. But, in order to properly execute, the rest of us will just have to declare one hue for accentuating our events :)

Once you've decided on the perfect shade....be it gray, persimmon, or something in between, pick WHERE you'd like to use it. We suggest some subtle but memorable places like this : 

Cake: 



  Feel free to use whatever color, but doing one accent block with the same color accent flowers on the table will certainly catch your guests' eyes in a tasteful and fun way!

Another idea: Loving how this shot shows a bridal party that uses all white flowers so that your eye focuses solely on the accent color of the dresses. Talk about accentuating...and LOVELY!!



Clearly, there are many ways you can make your next event...and daily life "pop." My challenge? Accentuate on the daily.  Don't be afraid to stand out...and pop :)

Happy Celebrating!

*See what I did there? A simple POP of color (with "loving") goes a loooong way toward grabbing attention in the proper areas and engaging an audience :)
