Guests came from near and far to help celebrate Erin and Andrew’s elegant baby shower. The dusty blue and brown tones were perfect for a cold January winter day in the Midwest. With both parents being adventurous and mom-to-be with the nickname “Er bear”; it was only fitting to host an adorable teddy bear themed baby shower. […]

Monkey munch, bananas, and “One” Curious little monkey named Everett! I loved planning and designing a simple home party for sweet Everett who loves all things Curious George and can’t do anything without his stuffed monkey tagging along for the fun. Having a holiday birthday can be tough with busy schedules, bitter cold temps for […]

Eleven years?! How can this be possible? My sweet Liam love is turning eleven tomorrow and I can’t believe it. It makes me sad that time is going so fast, but happy watching him grow and become such a sweet, caring, and smart young man. When Liam arrived into this world it was 10 minutes […]

A gender reveal party I recently designed was a “What’s the Scoop” theme and perfect for end of Summer.

I always enjoy working with Marg to throw a party. She is detail-oriented, creative, and efficient when […]

In honor of today’s super “warm” temps I’m throwing it back to this Summer’s 40th birthday pool party for Marcia! We’ve all seen those TikTok trends for color themed parties and they are SO fun. Each guest was assigned a color that they would then bring goodies and dress in that color scheme. Of course […]

Ho, Ho, Ho…Santa Claus is coming to town! I had so much fun being apart of Santa’s visit to Wild Orchid Custom Floral Design’s Santa photo minis hosted by Kim Ritchie Photography recently. A little hot cocoa, some sugar cookies from Sara’s Custom Cookies, and a hangout with Santa is sure to get you in […]

First birthday Buc-ee’s themed party for boys, featuring red trucks
