There seem to be so many different ways to celebrate a new mommy, but I thought this Birdie Themed Baby Shower from Kio Kreations was truly unique!

Centerpieces were overflowing with Monica’s favorite flower, Gerbera daisies, as well as germini, viburbum, feathers, lily { Continue Reading }

Daisy Teal Birthday Party I love Daisies and I love Teal! So this party is a fun one!

They'd make a great centerpiece themselves! Have you made any? Send us your pics! These stand up napkins are too cute! ThemeNaps makes { Continue Reading }
Dinner in “Tuscany” and Almond Biscotti! After a spring trip to Florence and a fabulous Tuscan cooking class, I was inspired to re-create this unique Tuscan theme for a recent dinner party.

Berries & Bellinis Favorite is a strong word, I know, but this is (hands down!) my favorite party (that I have designed so far!). It was an absolute blast - from one of my best friends helping me finish last minute touches the night before it was filmed for our local NBC affiliate to first coming up with the idea while brainstorming with the birthday girl in the Vanderbilt bookstore.
