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

Floral: Hothouse Design Studio

Cakes & Catering: Olexa's

*my newest treasure* Invitations: Sonia Davis Designs for Inviting Company

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

You can't get anymore "southern" than that!

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!
