{tuesday shoesday} alexander mcqueen

These 4" heart peep toes are nothing short of luxurious and elegant, but then again.. what did you expect from the Queen himself? There is something raw and edgy, yet mystical and enchanting of an Alexander McQueen design.

whoooo is turning 3?

Rhea saw my work on Party Like a Kid blog, and contacted me through my etsy shop looking for party printables for her daughters 3rd birthday.

The theme was owls and she was looking for party circles to use throughout the party.

Here is what we came up with!

Rhea wanted to use shades of pink while incorporating the owls, the number 3, and happy birthday. These party circles are going to be used as cupcake toppers and favor labels.

Thanks, Rhea!

Want your OWN Mustache Bash?

I had so much fun working with Pam from Party Starters that I decided to create my own Mustache Bash party printables!

This 5x7 invitation can be customized with your colors and information.

2.5" party circles can be used as cupcake toppers, stickers, favor tags, decor, confetti and so much more!

Of course, every Mustache Bash is going to need a set of Mustache Props. Go incognito!

The Mustache Bash party pack is now available in my etsy shop.

{real parties} Mustache Bash

A few weeks ago I teamed up with Pam from Party Starters to create printables for a mustache themed party for her son's birthday! Their theme was Mustache Bash, and I was asked to create fun party circles and mustache props that could be used throughout the party.

Pam turned the 2.5" circles into cupcake toppers, stickers to use as decoration on single-serve icecream cups, mustache props for fun photo opps and... are you ready for this... t-shirts!!!

Check out Party Starters to get the full scoop on this fabulous party!

{As Seen On} The Hostess Blog

Never in a million years did I think that I would have something I designed be featured on The Hostess Blog. It is the biggest honor! This peacock engagement party was styled by the talented Courtney Dial of Pizzazzerie, and I had the pleasure of working alongside many other talented women, like My Personal Artist, Twirlie Whirlies, Better Bit of Butter and Sweet Lydia's, to help make this party come to life. And let's not forget Kristen Steele for taking these breathtaking photographs!

bubble escort cards & table numbers

Crystal has been absolutely INCREDIBLE to work with. Her address labels were so much fun and full of personality, and she said she & her fiance got amazing feedback on them after they sent out their wedding invitations. She decided to carry the theme throughout her reception, so we made escort cards and table numbers to match.

The escort cards will be slipped inside floral sized envelopes with each guests name printed on the front.

custom table numbers

Crystal emailed me and asked me to make custom table numbers for her August 21 wedding that matched the envelope wraps that I previously made.

These custom table numbers are 4x6 and feature a bubble design that cascades on the left.

I can't decide which table number I like best!

This set is elegant, but fun. I love the look of the script font next to the sans-serif number!

But this set? I like the way the word "table" mimics the dots.

What do you think? Which set do you like better?

sneak peak!

Here's a sneak peak at my newest printable party ware line -- a nautical birthday party!

I hope to be introducing the full line later this week.

sweet as candy: engagement photos

Holy. Amazing. Engagement. Session.

I have never seen anything so glamorous or colorful or fun before. Also, I cannot tell you how much I love candy.

The super sweet girls at Simply Bloom Photography captured these engagement shots back in 2009, but I just stumbled across their blog for the first time. I just *had* to share this candy-inspired engagement sesh!

How adorable is this?! I especially love the use of chalk to make a wall message. How fun and creative!

These girls travel nationwide and internationally for wedding sessions, so definitely check them out.

freebie friday: wrap around address labels

Hiring a calligrapher can be quite expensive, and sometimes printing directly on your envelopes can be stressful. The best solution? Envelope wraps!

They're a fun and fancy way to dress up any envelope.

Here's my inspiration:

I loved this French Inspired photo shoot that it inspired me to create something classic and bold.

fancy feathers

HELLO, GORGEOUS!

I'm biased because I had feathers in my own wedding bouquet. I forget where I saw the original idea, but I loveloveLOVED it and absolutely had to have ostrich feathers mixed with calla lilies on my wedding day -- so that's what I did.

See? Gorg.

But, enough about me. Here's some ah-may-zing floral eye candy:

summer lovin'

In honor of our second wedding anniversary coming up, I wanted to do something special on the blog this week.. Every day, I'm going to feature a drop-dead-gorgeous inspiration board.

Since today is my hubby's birthday, I thought I'd start with something a little manly. As in boutonniere. That's pretty manly for a wedding, right??
