SCM Design

Last night I was able to attend a wonderful open house for SCM Designs. Stephanie and Brad have recently set up a beautiful office in their home that really reflects the style of their business. I was able to look at their wonderful invitations that they offer as well as the storybook albums that Stephanie puts together. Be sure to check them out, thier stuff is amazing!

Valentine's Day Dinner Party!

I went to college at Elon University, and was so blessed to make the most AMAZING friends. I was also fortunate to move to Charlotte with 10 of them after school! Some have moved, but the majority of us are still here and it has been an absolute blast! As we all get busy in our lives, it is soooo important to reflect on the most important people in your lives; friends, family, significant others, whoever it may be. So a couple of years back I started the annual Valentine's Day Dinner Party to bring us all together for a dinner party full of good food, fun, and laughter! I wanted to share some of the pics from this years dinner party...Enjoy!
Cheers!

Welcome to I Do Details...

Sara and Ryan met in high school through her sister awhile back. Ryan took Sara out to dinner to celebrate being together for 8 years. They were waiting on their reservations, so they went over to Freedom Park where he popped the question! She was so excited that she said 'okay' instead of yes! They are looking forward to continuing to share life's little moments, and traveling and taking on the world together as best friends!
I Do Details is so excited to be a part of their big day in October at Byron's South End!
Cheers and let the planning begin!

Mary Jo's Fabric Store

My mom came to Charlotte this past weekend for a visit and was dying to go check out this fabric store! So off we went to Mary Jo's in Gastonia not knowing at all what to expect. When we pulled up, it was packed and as we walked through the doors, we could see why. There was tons and tons of fabric and I mean TONS of fabric. Ranging from fleece to more modern threads to designer fabric. Of course as we are looking through all of the rows of fabric, so many ideas are running through my head! There are so many ways to incorporate fabric into your event, whether it be by making custom linens, pillows, draping, fabric boards whatever your little heart desires! Be sure to check it out and let us know what you are doing with the fabric that you find!

I was so excited to stumble across this awesome fabric that we will be using for Lindsay and Brandon's escort card board and it ties perfectly into their white and tan wedding.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Extravaganza!

Yesterday I had an awesome meeting with Stephanie from Extravaganza. Extravaganza has two warehouses and it is one of the largest prop shops in the Southeast. 90% of their warehouse is themed props, however a good 75% or more of their business is weddings! They can be as hands on or off as you would like them to be for your event. While they have a warehouse they also have an event depot that can be rented out for your event! I went there to chat about draping for a client's wedding, and Stephanie had great advice and ideas and they really know their venue's! Make sure to check out Extravaganza and I can't wait to work with them!
Cheers!

Bella Bridesmaid and Erin McDermott Jewelry

I had a great meeting last night with Cecily from Bella Bridesmaid and Erin from Erin McDermott Jewelry! Erin and Bella Bridesmaid have teamed up to offer brides and bridesmaids her beautiful jewelry. The look book that was created is FABULOUS and it is so easy for all of the brides to look through and compare the various designs to the dresses in the store! As we all know, I LOVE her jewelry, and think that it is the PERFECT gift for bridesmaids, readers, moms, and pretty much everyone involved! Make sure to check out her website and take a look at all of her beautiful things, and stop by Bella Bridesmaid and look at all of their amzaing dresses!
