Hello! Thank you for visiting my blog! Here you will get to know me—the “sweet girl” behind the dessert tables. The girl who loves to create. The proud mama who loves her boys to no bounds and the wife that thanks her lucky stars every day to have her husband, her best friend & business partner, by her side. Whether you visiting our blog or the first time or have stopped by before, please know that I’m incredibly grateful that you are here and look forward to getting to know you. So sit back, grab a large cup of coffee (or cake pop) and enjoy!

Day of the Dead Shoot-Behind the Scenes

Just a little glimpse into the “lounge area.”
I’m always in awe of the amount of work (and people) that go into setting up these shoots!
Ceremony Scene. Tracey from Tampa Wonderworks Films catching footage. Yup, that’s Elvis.
The table, mid-way through. With a lot of these shoots, there is a lag time from when you get there to when you start, so the table was worked on in phases.
Jeff, from K&K Photography in action. Did I mention it was blistering hot??
My partner in crime, touching up our “skull decal.” This was a big headache due to the intense heat but the final product looked really good.
Hey Y’all! Sorry for being so absent, just working a few big projects (which I will share as soon as I can). In the meantime, thought I would share some few “behind the scenes” for a Day of the Dead photoshoot, coordinated by MMD Events & Every Last Detail. Other wonderful vendors a part of the “team,” include K&K Photography, Tampa Wonderworks Films, Connie Duglin Linens and I’m guilty of missing quite a few others but will promise to include once we have some better photos to share.
Enjoy the preview!
And at some point, we may start video taping, what goes into the set up, prepping the table via Amy Atlas V-blogs which I think are sooo much fun so please, stay tuned….

Style Me Pretty Feature: Photo Album Dessert Table, Part I

Happy Friday! Hopefully by now you have checked out our amazing Style Me Pretty feature here. We also wanted to share some of the wonderful shots here at Chic Sweets.
The story of this table really began with a cute little template from Two Yellow Shoes and I just really took it from there. Lots of times you may find that these photoshoots can become “overstylized” and maybe even overdone; however, I just wanted to create a scene that felt beautiful and serene.
Right away, I knew I wanted to do a ribbon backdrop. I just thought it would be great with the beach wind and add to the laid back feel. From there, the rest of the table fell right into place. We had a few challenges on the day of-the weather was completely chaotic. Huge thunderstorms loomed all around us, but we managed to pull it off! Thankfully, our other photoshoot partner, MMD Events provided a wonderful model (Vanessa), She did an amazing job despite the weather, and truly, could she not look more perfect?  MMD Events also put together the loveliest of tablescapes that complemented the  entire scene, and who to capture it better but our friends, Rebecca and Michael over at Limelight Photography.
We’ll post Part II next week! Have a lovely weekend everyone!

I’m here! Alive!

Good Morning everyone! So sorry for the blog-drought! Between a few projects we’ve been working on here at Chic Sweets, we’ve been on over-drive but…I’m here and alive! …And hoping to share with you some great inspiration in the coming weeks, one of which has been a wonderful photoshoot that was organized with some fantastic professionals in the industry (MMD Events/Limelight/Two Yellow Wedding Shoes/Linens by The Sea).
The idea behind the whole shoot was this laid-back, unique, vintgage-just looked-like-we-put-it-together scene on Anna Maria Island. We happen to do a dry-run of our table at a recent bridal show so I have a “sneak peak” of what our table look like (above).
Also, on the day of the shoot-took a few shots (not in the best quality)…but can’t help but share with all of you a tiny glimpse (below) of how it all came together. Again, thank you for your patience…I promise, more details coming soon!
