So finally getting around to posting some professional pictures from recent events. Julie ~ today’s beautiful bride ~spent over a year planning her wedding! She knew what she liked and set about assembling a team who could help her achieve it. Staci at Unique Event Design, Alicia at Pure Emotions, Samantha from Signature Event Design (and of course, Chic Sweets) all played significant roles in their areas of wedding expertise!


Of course, this couple was really easy to fall in love with. First of all, the ceremony and reception was held at the BEAUTIFUL Don Cesar Beach Resort. Yep, total gorgeousness. Second, this couple are madly in love with each other and both have that glowy, hopelessly smitten look after 10 years of marriage! Yes, that is right. After being unable to afford the wedding they wanted the first time around, they finally decided to have their dream wedding. And third, the wedding style is pretty much as gorgeous as you can get with dark red roses, the custom damask print, and a wedding gown that is as sexy as it is timeless and little handmade details that are all about the charm.

The dessert table, was so much fun to create, from the rock candy-to the shots of milk served alongside chocolate dipped oreo cookies, it was pretty much to-die-for (and delicious). As always, thanks to Linens by the Sea for delivering the most beautiful linens. Enjoy!

Morgan’s Inspired Dora Party!

Finally! Breaking my blogging drought! I can’t believe how busy we have been these days! We are growing and more fun opportunities keep coming my way, which is such a blessing, but leaves me with little time to do anything else but work.

So with that, I will leave you with a few parting shots from a recent birthday party for a wonderful little girl, by the name of Morgan. Her mother, is an amazing mother and works for the wonderful Cafe a la Carte (a delicious mobile gourmet Espresso, Latte & Cappuccino Bar).

The lighting was difficult so pardon the photos! Hopefully soon, will be able to share some additional photos from recent events we’ve had these past few weeks.

Also, I will be posting some exciting news coming shortly for a shoot we are working on with an amazing team…. (which I’m kind of bursting at the seams about)….stay tuned!

Dessert Table: Bridal Showcase

I am back from The Davis Island Garden Club’s Bridal Showcase, produced by the talented “chicks” of Table 6 Productions and the event TOTALLY lived up to its name. Unlike any bridal event I have ever been to, Shannon (and team) hand-selected some of the best vendors in the industry: Limelight Photography; Stonehouse Events; Cafe Ala Carte; Shutterbooth Tampa, etc. The list goes on….

Now on to what was included in the dessert table. Yes, we know that we are seeing vintage, autumnal weddings everywhere, but we thought that we would shake things up a bit with a more bright and contemporary look for table. I came across this wild sunflower print and just wanted to incorporate that alongside another great print that was used to line all our vessals. Finally, we also let perfect cupcakes take center stage and completed the look by adding giant, yellow balloons for a cost effective pop of loveliness.
We had a great time working on this table and I hope you enjoy the pics (better ones coming soon…I promise!)

Davis Island Garden Club Bridal Showcase

So we are running on little sleep right now as we get our dessert table ready for the 3rd Annual Davis Island Bridal Showcase coming up on Sunday, February 28 from 12:00PM to 4:00PM. Produced by the wonderful, Table Six Productions’ Shannon Wilson, each one of the vendors are hand-picked and are some of the best in the industry.

So to give you a few details on what we are doing…we’re going with a bright yellow and gorgeous blue palatte. We have a great yellow, wildflower print that we are working with and it’s just precious. Even though it’s freezing, I wanted the table to feel modern, crisp and just like “spring.” The Cupcake Spot and Better Bit of Butter are working hard this week on some special desserts that will be included on the table. Thanks to my amazing team for pulling everything together this week!

This really is going to be an amazing show-see you there!
