Another rainy weekend!

Another rainy Sunday in Birmingham! I've been catching up on a little paper work and calming a few brides unsettled nerves! No one rests even on a Sunday!

My week has been so busy but produced some great things! All of my planning for the tabletop shoot finally came together on Thursday. I designed two looks : Southern Chic & Urban Glamour. I couldn't have been more pleased with the end result. Let's hope that Grace Ormonde Wedding Style loves it as much as I did!

I am forever in debt to the vendors that gave their time and talents. I am so lucky to work with such amazing people.

Photographers: Arden Photography
Cakes & Catering: Olexa's
*my newest treasure* Invitations: Sonia Davis Designs for Inviting Company
Lighting: A.G. Lighting

Thank you again to everyone who played a part in this amazing shoot!


Table setting complete with Southern Sweet Tea served right out of a Mason Jar!
You can't get anymore "southern" than that!

Delicious food by Miss Diane Olexa!

And a heirloom tomato salad topped with a corn & black bean salsa

The Southern Chic photoshoot took place at Jones Valley Urban Farm.
If you haven't been out to see it yet, it is a MUST!

What a sweet treat! Cakes by Diane as well.
Each guest gets their own personal size serving!

Lighting plays such a key role in all my designs. It totally set the atmosphere!



Then on Friday and Saturday I had new bridal appointments at Engaged Wedding Library. Just as always the lovely Stephanie Whitaker was there and made us feel so welcome!


One of Confero's new brides brings a new experience to the table. Not only will this wedding be a challenge to design, but I am so excited to plan my first Greek Wedding! It's such an honor when I have a family who wants to incorporate their heritage. I can't wait to see what all we come up with!

Last note... be sure to pick up the newest issue of Birmingham Home & Garden. Cover feature home styled by Christopher Reed! Such a beautiful home.

I have a full week ahead of me. More brides, photoshoots, and who knows.. Maybe I will fit some fun in this week! Check back soon for more!

Best!
