Of course we love our brides and coming up with new wedding details, but sometimes it is fun to take a break and plan something different. We have been lucky enough to plan a past bride’s son’s birthday party every year.  Each time there is a new theme and we have so much fun with it.  Last year, for his 5th birthday we had a shark infested pool party complete with games, floats, and shark themed food.  Summer is finally here, and this gets me ready to take on the next few months with the kids out of school! Thank you to Lettered Olive for all of the fabulous printed items, and Leigh Webber Photography for the photos.

We loved seeing our “Happy Hour” feature in this months’ Better Homes and Gardens issue (on newsstands now). Our tips for throwing a cocktail party are revealed. We had a blast shooting this in my garden! And, those adorable bar accoutrements are available through Lettered Olive.

An old Southern tradition tells us that a surefire way to keep the rain away on your wedding day is to “bury the bourbon” in the location of the wedding. The rules are that the bottle has to be completely full, has to be buried upside down, and exactly one month before your wedding day.  Our cute bride and groom decided to give this a try. I’ll let you know in one month if it worked!!!
