THE First Look


 
You, guys!!!! I totally get wanting to stick to tradition and not see your groom before walking down the aisle. I really do. Please listen to me when I say that it doesn't take away from the moment. 
 
Jeff & Adrienne were NOT trying to hear me with this first look idea but about 1 1/2 weeks before the wedding, they decided to do it. When Jeff turned around and saw his beautiful bride, his reaction was priceless. 
 
 
 
 

Alexandra & Erfan's First Look!


I love a good first look and Loyall Hart did not disappoint when it came to Alexandra & Erfan's!  The view of the winery from the vineyards, the detail in Alexandra's gown, Erfan waiting in anticipation and that sky...I couldn't ask for more.

Engagement Love - Adrienne & Jeffery!


As a planner, I'm always observing my clients.  I'm always paying attention to how they interact with each other and one of my favorite things about Adrienne and Jeff is how they consult about every decision before they make it.  I've been working with them for a while now so I always know what decision they'll make but I love that they make each decision in unity. I can't wait to watch them walk down the aisle!
 


 
Adrienne & Jeff are big sports fans so they decided to head to the College Football Hall of Fame for some shots!

My Simply Perfect Kids!


Earlier this year I had the opportunity to plan the first birthday party for a special little girl.  During the planning, I realized that a lot children's parties are just miniature dinner parties for adults.  Follow me for a second: I wanted the party to be over-the-top but still fun for kids.  A floral centerpiece for a kid's party is a waste of flowers.  I decided to put goldfish crackers down the center of the table as the table runner.  While that was my favorite design element to-date, I wanted to switch it up a bit.

I thought about what my nieces, nephew and friend's children would like to do at a party and it was easy. Kid's want to have fun and dress up and have tea parties and be silly. We all know that the first birthday party is for the parents but what about all of the other birthdays?  There are so many little details involved with a kid's party that make them unique and fun so I dove right in!

From the first birthday to a Lego party all the way to a tea party, you just can't go wrong with My Simply Perfect Kids planning the party!  Take a look at some of our themed parties and try to melt from the overwhelming cuteness from these beauties!
