Beach Wedding Inspiration | Alchemy Events

I recently had the pleasure of joining Vanessa from Alchemy Fine Events on location for a photo shoot she was doing. I assisted in the creation of a few things for the shoot including name place tags and weathered wood menu boards.

I had such a wonderful time setting up the pieces on the beach. Shooting on location is not without it's challenges of heat, sand, wind and finding level ground. But we weathered the challenges, enjoyed the beautiful view and made a wonderful day of it.

The shoot was featured in Rivieria Magazine and you can read more about Vanessa's expertise here on her blog.

Birthday Party Ideas

I am putting together some ideas for my daughter's upcoming 5th birthday. So far I am liking Alice in Wonderland theme.
Here are some visuals of what I am liking so far.

I just dicovered a great new site for event planning from my fabulous neighbor Holly, called Lollipop events and designs. Man, they do gorgeous work. I would love to do event planning with them. I love their Wonderlandia table show above. I love the tall stack of cups. I also love an idea I saw on Design*Sponge of incorporating spirographs, these kidohs need an activity to do with all their tea drinking.
