Secret Santa Holiday Party!

Every year my girlfriends and I get together and have a Secret Santa party. This year we decided to spice it up a little bit and do a a dinner party as well! I decided to host and wanted to make it a special and fun evening for all of us girls! After meeting with Jodi from Connie Duglin Linens, my color scheme came into play which was a silver and a deep wine color. My inspiration went from there. Anna from Nuage Mulberry did the beautiful menu cards as well as place cards which really added an elegant touch to everyone's place setting and Karisa from Nectar Floral Design did the AMAZING flowers that were on the table. We hung crystals from the ceiling which added an extra sparkle to the table and played in nicely with all of the candlelight and glassware. Some of the favorites from the evening was the food, gift exchange, company and friendship, and of course the hot chocolate bar to go! We all had a blast and I wanted to share some pictures from the evening!
Enjoy and Happy Holidays!

FABULOUS!

Picture from thetwistband.com

I was recently in DC for an Erin McDermott trunk show and while Erin and I were shopping through Georgetown, I came across my new favorite thing! The Twistband Hair Tie! Erin had sold them in a boutique that she once worked in, and she highly recommend it, so I thought that I would give it a try. Every girl out there knows how hard it is to find a great hair tie and this one not only does the trick, but looks super cute on your wrist! I was even more excited when I was reading my latest Real Simple Magazine (LOVE by the way) and it was listed as a 2011 Life-Changing Product! Be sure to check them out on their website, and what a perfect gift!

Welcome to I Do Details!

I would like to welcome Kristin and Edwin to the I Do Details Family!
They met because Edwin was friends with Kristin's brother and ended up being roommates with him and 2 other guys. They had many mutual friends, and then became friends themselves. Eventually they realized that they really liked each other and started dating.

Edwin took her to the SunDial Restaurant in Atlanta where they shared a wonderful conversation about their future, and after dinner he proposed!
They are looking forward to seeing what God has in store for them as a married couple, and the comfort of knowing the constant companionship. They are also really looking forward to starting a family!
I Do Details is so excited to be a part of their big day in September!

Closet Edit!

One of my presents from my adorable husband for my birthday was a closet edit session with Melissa Lamkin! I was so excited and didn't quite know what to expect, considering my closet is kind of a mess :) Needless to say, I am OBSESSED with my new closet and it has made my life so much easier! Everything is super organized and I was able to pass on some things that I just didn't need anymore! Melissa did a wonderful job of going through things with me and helping me piece together outfits that I never would have thought of piecing together! So if you haven't asked for anything for the holiday season, I would strongly suggest a session with Melissa!

Marriott Center City

On Thursday night I was able to go to the Marriott Center City for a fun evening of networking with some other planners in Charlotte. Laura and Kristin from the Marriott gave us a fabulous tour of their amazing hotel, where the space is awesome! They have a cigar bar as well as a restaurant called Savannah Red's, where we were able to enjoy the fabulous food! We were able to meet the chef, who creates a fresh menu and is always changing things around due to the fact that they get their vegetables from local farmers!

Wish Upon A Wedding~ The Carolinas Blissful Wishes Ball

On Friday night I was able to attend a wonderful event, The Carolinas Blissful Wishes Ball for a wonderful organization called Wish Upon a Wedding! It was held at The Ritz Carlton where we had a delicious meal and tons of fun! There were lots of wonderful people from the industry there and it was great to catch up with them as well as meet some new people. The president of Wish Upon a Wedding Sasha Souza flew in to speak at the event and the stories of wishes that have already been granted really touched the heart. Some of my favorite parts of the evening were the silent auction, the photo booth from Shutterbooth which was a blast, and dancing the night away with two great bands, The Fabulous Kays and The Right to Party Band! Many thanks to the Wish Upon a Wedding team and all of the fabulous vendors that made this night so special!

Thanksgiving Inspiration Board

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. Spending time with family, playing games, overeating, snuggling up on the couch and watching football, and reflecting on what you are thankful for. Some of my friends are hosting Thanksgiving for the first time this year, and were asking for some table ideas. I thought that I would create an inspiration board to hopefully spark some creativity and ideas for the infamous Thanksgiving table!!! I am a big fan of the neutrals and especially the golds while tying in various natural colors and little details that help set your table apart from others! Click on the link to see my inspiration board on Style Me Pretty. I hope that you enjoy!

Meet Gean & Joe!

I first met Gean and Joe at the Charlotte Wedding Connection and just from a few short moments, you could tell how in love they were with one another! When I got the opportunity to meet with them, I realized just how in love they are and how excited they are to start this next step of their life together!
They were first introduced to one another through Gean's best friend, Deanna. They initially crossed paths four years ago, while walking down the street in front of RiRa's. Two years after their initial meeting they were brought back together for a "girls" dinner at Cantina. Her friends had planned a dinner/movie night and Deanna ended up inviting Joe. After that dinner, Joe pestered Deanna for several weeks for her contact information. Deanna gave into Joe's persistence and finally gave him her number. They talked and texted daily, and on March 25, 2008 they had their first date, and have been inseparable ever since.

On March 19, 2010, they were headed down to Atlanta for a quick weekend getaway. Joe recommended that they go out for a nice dinner at the Sun Dial Restaurant, a tri-level dining complex featuring a revolving restaurant, a rotating cocktail lounge and an observatory offering a 360-degree panorama of the Atlanta skyline. They enjoyed a great meal, and following dinner they took a stroll around the restaurant to check out the amazing view. As they were gazing out at the skyline, they began reminiscing about their relationship and how wonderful their time together has been. Joe then got down on one knee to propose, and out of excitement, she shouted, "I do!" 
They are so excited about their upcoming wedding and cannot wait to start their journey together, and I Do Details Events is excited to be a part of their big day!
Congrats!

Jennifer & Ryan

I am so excited to begin working with the newest clients to I Do Details Events, Jennifer and Ryan!
Ryan and Jennifer met at Taco Mac in Atlanta Ga. They were both there for dinner and he was actually sitting with someone she knew so they were introduced. They were practically inseparable for the rest of the night. After they kept running into each other out, he finally asked her out to a hockey game, and they have been together ever since. Even though Ryan and Jennifer both went to Clemson at the same time and have tons of mutual friends they never met until that night at Taco Mac.

A little over two and a half years later Ryan and Jennifer were driving back to Clemson for the home opening football game and he said he needed to go the field "to take pictures" for work, she reluctantly fell for it and once they got out of the car he got down on one knee and proposed at "the rock" (Clemson tradition). She was completely shocked and said "of course"!
Their wedding is going to be beautiful and tons of fun! I am looking forward to May! Congrats Jennifer and Ryan!

Vendor Spotlight: Classic Party Rentals

I used Classic Party Rentals to rent my silver chavari chairs for my mock table for the bridal show, and they looked fabulous! I have enjoyed working with Classic for various events and they have just about everything that you would want to rent to make your event spectacular!

Vendor Spotlight: Nuage Mulberry

I have blogged about Anna from Nuage Mulberry before, but I just can't stop tell you how talented she really is! I met with her to tell her my vision for my mock table at the bridal show and asked her to do my menu cards, place cards, table number, and the tags for the Wowee Pops! When I got the proofs I was so excited because her design was exactly what I wanted! Everything looked beautiful and it all came together on the table perfectly! My favorite part were the menu cards that we came up with that wrapped around the napkin...loved it! Be sure to contact her as she can customize anything!

I did a mock table in my booth and it couldn't have been done with out the talents of some of the wonderful vendors in Charlotte. So I thought that I would spotlight a different vendor each day who helped to make my table sparkle!
I used Nectar for my floral arrangement. Karisa is super talented and sweet and I really enjoyed meeting her through this process. Her adorable floral shop is located on N Davidson and her arrangements and ideas are awesome! I look forward to using her in the future!

We are both so lucky to have such wonderful friends and family, and want to thank them for coming out and supporting us! Here are some pics from the evening! Enjoy!

Meet Jessica and John!

John and Jessica met in Charleston, SC at King Street Grill on a Saturday afternoon in March of 2008. Jessica and a friend of hers were probably there for less than five minutes when in walks John. She immediately thought he was handsome, despite his bright yellow Maryland t-shirt, which is still to-date her least favorite shirt he owns. The only seat available was the seat right in front of her, next to their mutual friend Jeremy. Jeremy introduced them and they talked for what seemed to be the entire time they were there. In that time they realized they had been living less than a block away from each other for the last two years. When Jessica and her friend were about to leave he asked if he could have her number and the rest is history.
John and Jessica hadn't seen each other in a few weeks because she had finals. So as soon as she was done she headed south to Charleston for some post finals vacay. As soon as she got there John suggested they take George (their dog) to the park since he had been in the car so long. They arrived and Jessica immediately became nostalgic as this was the park George and her had been going to since he was a puppy; almost 5 years and John had been with them for the last two. It started out like all the other hundreds of park trips they had been on...George jumping with excitement like a kangaroo, Jessica taking in the view of downtown across the water, John by her side teasing George with the ball. She was home! She had no clue what was about to happen next. About 10 minutes had gone by of fetch and talk when John intercepted George upon his return. Jessica took this opportunity to soak in more of the view but could see them in the corner of her eye. John was down on the ground playing with him and said "I've missed you buddy. I've missed both of you. It's been like 21 days." Jessica laughed and as she turned around she jokingly asked, "you've been counting?" He was down on one knee!
Jessica and John’s wedding is going to be amazing! They are getting married at John's grandparents old farm/plantation in Virginia!Their style for the big day is farm, vintage, simple, anthropologie-esque, laid-back, and romantic.
Jessica and John are most forward to looking at each other as they walk down the aisle, knowing that there about to start a new chapter in their lifetime together, and having an excuse to gather everyone they love together under one tent, laughing and dancing.
I am so excited to be a part of your big day!

Riggins!

Our new puppy Riggins!

I would like to introduce the newest member of our household…Riggins! I fell in love with Riggins and we brought him home on Sunday! As I continue to stare at this precious little pup, it got me thinking of various ways to incorporate your dog into your big day! I know that incorporating your dog is a growing trend, so here are some clever ways that I found on The Knot!

Love giving the pup a bow tie to match the groomesmen ties!
