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.


Another shot from their first look...

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!







 

Engagement Love - Brooke & Ryan!


I was referred to Brooke through one of my favorite brides, Misty.  She said that she thought Brooke might need some help and I was instantly excited because anyone who knows Misty is good with me! 
 
When I met Brooke in person, it was as if I already knew her.  Our emails and phone conversations were so easy relaxed, I felt like I was talking to a friend.  Whenever I meet a groom for the first time, I'm observing more than anything.  I watch how they interact with their fiancé...do they care at all?  Do they care too little? All of these things run through my mind.  Ryan was so sweet and loving with Brooke.  He cared about wedding details but not to the point that it was annoying (guys, it CAN get annoying...just let her do what she wants!).  I'm basically dying for their wedding next year!
