{Real Wedding} Kim + Myles

Kim and Myles are one of my favorite couples because their love and friendship are so evident. Being a part of their special day was so touching. Plus, their family and friends were a blast at the reception! Speaking of the reception...WOW...gorgeous! The wedding was a traditional soiree with hints of modern flare. Enjoy...

{Real Party} Ice Cream Social

I scream, You scream, We all scream for ICE CREAM!

The Chancellor invited members of the Student Government Executive Staff for an informal ice cream social...and it was so much fun to work on!

We (ok....my hubby!) built a reusable backdrop out of PVC pipe and concrete to help welcome the special guests and set the stage for the amazing toppings table, provided by Drake's Catering.

These pictures are just horrible! I'm making the pledge now...no more phone photos! But, I hope you enjoy anyway! What you don't see are the adorable old-fashion glass coke bottles that really added to the theme...especially with the cute paper straws! Enjoy!

{Real Wedding} Sarrah + Trevor

This hot pink, black and white wedding was the definition of glam! I think we lit over 100 candles...talk about setting the mood! Sarrah and Trevor were so calm and comfortable throughout their big day...it was clear that their love was real and lasting. As you will see, Sarrah was a beautiful bride and I loved working with her! Enjoy!

{Bliss Board} Harry Potter Party

Excited...Excited...Excited...Excited....

Please allow me to "nerd" out for a minute...

I am super thrilled about the final installment of the Harry Potter series being released this weekend. After reading and listening to all the books, not to mention pausing my to-do lists every time ABC Family runs a HP movie marathon, it's safe to say that I am a bit obsessed. This series is so easy to loose yourself in...the creativity, the adventure, the accents...

Of course, our tickets have already been purchased for Deathly Hallows Part 2. We can't make it to the midnight showing but we are going to be all smiles come Saturday morning in Baton Rouge's new IMAX.

To celebrate the end of the movie series, you must...and I mean MUST...have a shindig! Here is a little Bliss Board to help you celebrate in style:

AND...I'll be experimenting with these Butterbeer Cookies over the weekend as well! Mine won't be as adorable as these are...but I'm going to try! I love Bake at 350...everything on this blog makes my mouth just water for sweet, beautifully decorated treats!

Are there any other Harry Potter nerds out there celebrating this weekend????

{Real Wedding} Ashley + Derek

Ashley and Derek couldn't be more in love if they tried! As you can tell from these pictures, they just adore one another...which made being a part of their big day even more enjoyable!
