Dominican Republic Recap

A couple of weeks ago, we ventured down to the Dominican Republic for a good friends, Fariel+Jamils’, wedding. It was so fun to catch up with friends from graduate school, relax in the sun and dance the night away in a sundress in the middle of January! A much needed break from the cold, indeed.
Cutest ring bearer :)
Fariel, you are stunning!
Love how happy they are.

Wish you were here.…

The CFO and I are going down to the Dominican Republic for a few days to celebrate a wedding. I can’t wait to bask in the sun and scare people with my pasty white skin :). I will get back to everyone’s emails/calls when I return on Monday! Have a great weekend everyone!

Katrina, I am SUPPOSED to be studying and I just spent an HOUR on your website!! (I love it, and I’m really jealous that you get to do this for a living.) You are really talented!! I look forward to seeing more of your cute stuff.

Inspired: Shannon + Martin’s Florida Summer Wedding

Shannon+Martin will be getting married this summer in Florida. Shannon and I went to college together at the University of Florida and met while she was going through Sorority Recruitment. I was her “Pi Chi” and helped guide her through choosing the best house for her. Now, it seems only fitting that I am helping to guide her through her wedding planning process :).
Shannon is marrying Martin, who is from France. I love that we’re incorporating French-themed elements in to the wedding like wine bottle table numbers and wine corks to hold escort cards. We’re also going to use a vintage map to lay out the seating chart. Shannon+Martin are up for doing a fun cake with color on it to round out the theme of the wedding.

’Paradise’, navy, ‘bud’ and white will be the colors flowing through out the wedding. I love the feminine ‘paradise’ color married with the masculine navy and ‘bud’ to compliment both the bride and the groom. Congrats Shannon+Martin, I can’t wait to see it all come+together!

Thank you for your beautiful inspirations for our big day! We are so lucky to work with you and your amazing talent!

Creature Christmas Recap

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! Ours was a little insane, but great. Moved in to the new condo Tuesday, guests arrived Thursday–like I said, nuts. Here’s a little picture recap of our first Christmas as Mr.+Mrs.
Teddy opening his presents
 My gifts from the CFO :) So excited about my new ‘H’ bracelet!
Hutch was only a little bit excited about his new iPadOf course I had to get a snowman cake from Wow Factor Cakes. Thanks, Amy! Her Wow-E-Pops were a HUGE hit too.
I got a Buche de Noël from Amelie’s. The mushrooms are too cute!
I created a seating space in our small condo to host 10 people. It was really funny to see chivari chairs, custom linens and décor at home.
I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Here’s to hoping our next one is a little less chaotic :)
