Designing A Tablescape

A few months ago, Lisa and I held a small event at West Elm Grand Rapids where we taught how to design a tablescape and I thought it would be fun to share those steps, as well as some tips, with you over the next couple of weeks.

Spring Tablescape Styling Class

Guys, I am so excited about this class that my friend Lisa and I are hosting at West Elm in Grand Rapids. If you don’t follow me on Social Media, then you probably have missed the details on this.

So, here they are:

On Thursday, May 5, Lisa and I will teach you all about how to style flowers for a spring tablescape. We will teach you how to care for flowers, how to choose unique blooms for arrangements, and then demonstrate how to create a fun, spring arrangement. We will then teach you how to style your own tablescape for a spring soiree!

There are only a few spots left for this FREE class, so head over to our event page to get more details and reserve your ticket!

We hope to see you there!

My 2015 Wedding Season

My 2015 wedding season has come to a close with a wedding style photo shoot to cap off the year (a sneak peek will soon follow). After a week of cleaning, organizing and returning rentals, my life and my work space finally feels back to normal and not a haphazard mess of buckets, ribbons and boxes.

You may have noticed that there haven’t been a lot of wedding blog posts from this summer. That’s at the top of my to do list once I receive the photos from all the photographers. Believe me, I’m dying to see the photos and I so am eager to blog about each wedding I was honored to be a part of.

Until then, here are a few photos I took (or my team took) during this past season.

Galentines Day Brunch

“What’s Galentine’s Day? Oh, it’s only the best day of the year. Every February 13th, my lady friends and I leave our husbands and our boyfriends at home, and we just kick it breakfast style. Ladies celebrating ladies. It’s like Lilith Fair, minus the angst. Plus, frittatas!” Leslie Knope

I am a sucker for hearts. And Pink. Every year, right around February, my overall fondness for hearts and the color pink turns into an all out love. It’s rather silly actually. I have to refrain myself from buying everything that has a heart on it or is pink, and don’t even get me started on hearts that are pink. Thankfully, I have a few friends that share this love, so it means that I can shower them in all things pink and hearts (while fulfilling my need to be surrounded by this girly color and non-anatomically correct organ). Hence, my Galentines Day brunch. After all, there’s nothing better than celebrating Valentines Day with your best friends.
