A Little Something Extra!

I am always looking for ways to spruce up a package or a little gift for an event! I came across Happy Tape, which I think is the perfect solution for that little something extra! Happy Tape is Japanese masking tape that is made out of washi paper and comes in all sorts of colors and patterns! It would be the perfect extra to a little favor box or bag, or even to use when making personalized cards! Be sure to check out their blog for some ideas of how to use Happy Tape!
Happy Shopping!

15 North!

Last week Melissa Lamkin invited some friends and I to try out a delicious new restaurant in Charlotte called 15 North! We had the wonderful opportunity to try various dishes that were all special and unique in their own tasteful way! Chef Brett McKee and Steve Palmer bring their culinary talents to Montford Drive where 15 North is now open! I strongly suggest you check it out and all of their wonderful dishes! Some of our favorites that we tried were the mussels, deviled eggs, burger, pork chops, and the steak and eggs! I can’t wait to go back and try some other fabulous dishes!

While doing my nightly blog stalking :) I came across a website that just became one of my new favorites! Maihar Design has fantastic things! Their silk ring bearer pillows are beautiful and perfect for a little pillow after the big day! How about those flower petals? They are just adorable!!! I love them for a bride, bridesmaids, flower girls, or even for a night out on the town! Be sure to check out their website, and hopefully you will love it as much as I do!

Supply Soiree

Michelle and I hosted the First Annual Supply Soiree on Saturday night and it was a huge hit! We hit the rooftop of the Metropolitan for desserts and drinks while supporting a great cause. Every guest was asked to bring school supplies to support two local schools in the Charlotte area! We were overwhelmed with the generosity of our friends. As we were dividing up supplies yesterday we were speechless with everything that people had donated! 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!

If you have a dog that can sit still, have them be a greeter to greet your guests like this little one!

You can also have them be a ring bearer!

If you want to get fancy, give them a strand of pearls to wear!
