Beach Baby Boy Shower for Ryan

This was a fun baby shower for a baby boy. Mom (Ashley) wanted a beach theme for her baby boy. Homemade food made it special for the party. I worked with Deborah (Ashley’s mom) to bring this party to life. Deborah made a handmade diaper cake and diaper cupcakes. We hung the baby clothes around the fire place and above their picture shelf. We played a few baby shower games.

Deborah tasked me with decorating this Octopus. What was I supposed to do with an Octopus? Well, I gave it 8 baby bottles with blue milk (water and blue die) and embellished with waves, turtles, starfish, and shells.

How can we bring your baby shower to life? We LOVE themes and can do just about anything.

Felicia's 50th Birthday Party

,

A beautiful Carolina Blue Picnic on the beach to celebrate a special day for Felicia's 50th birthday. She wanted a beach picnic to celebrate with her special friends and a charcuterie board to go with the fun theme. All blue and it had to be Carolina Blue.

Kellie from Boards and Moore called me to help her with this and she created a wonderful spread like she always does. She is the bomb! They enjoyed all of her tasty goodies.

Baby Shower with a few fun ideas

How about a couples Baby Shower? Some people might say “No”, but this couple wanted a Fun Baby Shower with Family and Friends. They don’t know what they are having so there will be lots of surprises for them come November 9.

Started off with some yummy food by A Nibble and a Bite with their famous Chicken Salad croissants, Cheese “Sammies”, Ham and Cheese “Sammies”, Potato Salad, Pasta Salad, Smoked Wings, Meatballs, and we topped it off with Deborah’s Broccoli Salad and Kyle’s Oatmeal Scotties for dessert. A delicious meal!!!

Then we headed outside to have a Baby Bottle Chugging Contest. Everyone participated with whatever they were drinking and then we put Ashley and Kyle to the test with how well they can change their baby’s diapers and the twist was they were blindfolded. After that, everyone got to see how close they guessed on how big Ashley’s belly is. 2 men were the closest. Finished up with a candy game and needless to say Ashley and Kyle didn’t do so well.

A Fun Time by all. Games, decorations by Main Stream Events and PR Firm!

"Just Because"

,

I love this phrase “Just Because” What does it mean? When I Googled it, I found these wonderful quotes and I had to narrow down to just a few. You don’t need a special occasion to spend time with your best friends, significant other, family, or co-workers.

This is where we come in. We can create a perfect setting for your “Just Because” Picnic whether it is for 2 or more, we can handle it and let your reason be “Just Because”. We can create the perfect theme, invitations, provide menu selections, and offer location choices for you.

“#3 I hope you wake up every day with joy for what you have. I hope you find pleasure in the little things, smell the flowers you pass, and walk into the world with confidence and positivity. Just keep being you, my dear friend, and you’ll reach the stars!

#5 The world is a better place because you’re in it. It’s true because there’s nobody quite like you. Love you dearly and unconditionally.

#14 In this life, it is easy to find people who want to have fun. The challenge is finding people who are willing to live out your life with you. Finding someone who takes you as you are is rare. I wanted to thank you for taking on the good and the bad parts of knowing me. Thank you for being willing to go the extra mile and actually do life together.

#16 Life can be like a river, and storms can make it treacherous to navigate alone. I am grateful that you are in my boat, helping me to navigate the stormy waters. You have never walked away, even when it would have been easier. You have been the compass directing me to calmer waters, and I wanted to say thank you.”

Blue Vintage Tea Party Inspiration

, ,


I bought these placemats and I knew they were going to make a great inspiration for me. I didn’t know what I was going to do but I let my mind wander for a few days. I thought about it and came up with a blue and pink vintage tea party theme. My favorite color is blue and I added some blue and pink finishing touches to my vintage tea party. I never know what I am going to do until I start decorating and then pull items from my home. I have many items tucked inside cabinets and china huts that I hardly ever use unless on a special occasion. You don’t need a special occasion to set a pretty table or have a picnic. “Just Because” is the perfect reason to decorate and have friends over.

I’m actually in love with the blue and pink vintage tea party and I love seeing it set up. I hope you do too.

I’d love to create a perfect theme for you and your friends whether a dinner party or a brunch picnic on the beach, porch, park, lake, backyard. Even for a bridal or bachelorette party would be fun.

If you have an inspiration, let my mind go wild and create something unique for you.

I'd love to schedule your picnic so let's do it. Book Now!

Marcella and William Wedding - Norfolk, VA

,

How can we help you with your wedding plans? We are here to help make your day be amazing in every way. Full-Service, Day of Coordinator or like this beautiful wedding I was the Mistress of Ceremony.

Marcella and William are the cutest couple. They wrote amazing vows and 757 Wedding Pastor shared their story. It was so sweet and they even did Rock Paper Scissors on who was going to say their vows first.

Wiseacre Estate was a beautiful venue and Chuck and Jeff were great to work with. Grand Affairs Catering did the amazing food and always great to work with Jaki and the entire team.

It was an amazing day and went through all the weather elements from rain, wind, snow, hail but at the end we held the wedding and reception inside as it was 34 degrees outside. I noticed during the ceremony there was even a glimpse of sun and it was a beautiful moment.
