Curiosity seekers unite.

I've been asked to contribute to a new online magazine called Southern Flourish that will launch in the spring. With the absolute sad state of things at the news stands this is a welcome addition to my online reading repertoire. I hope you agree.

This is the link to the teaser page where you can sign up to get an email when it launches. www.southernflourish.com

welcome 2010

2010-01-06T21:35:00.007-05:00

As I fill in my new 2010 calendar I look back at the journey that has lead me to event planning I am thankful for the past and optimistic about the future. One door closes and another opens. If you don't already know (from reading my store blog) I'm in the process of closing my shop and moving full speed ahead into event design and styling. It is an exciting prospect knowing the wonderful brides that have already procured my services. I look forward to theirs and many other weddings in the coming year. So to Scottee, Ashley, Julie, Sydney and Kara I say happy new year and thank you for trusting me with your vision. I feel really lucky to have such terrific brides to work with.

well isn't that nice

I got all teary reading the kind things Grace said about me and my shop in the October 18 post on Martha Stewart Weddings blog. I cut and pasted the post below.

Grace Bonney's Décor

Posted by Shira Savada, Real Weddings Editor: Martha Stewart Weddings

Today we've got a double dose of our behind-the-scenes series about Grace and Aaron's wedding. Grace bulked up her standard rentals and enhanced her décor with the help of two great shop owners. And in case you wanted to revisit Grace's first mention of incorporating vintage pieces into her wedding, you can reread the post here.

Grace: Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without the help and generosity of Paula from Paris Market & Brocante and Liz from @home vintage general. Both women really embody the welcoming spirit of Savannah and were incredibly kind to let us borrow such beautiful vintage and antique pieces.

When it comes to Liz from @home, I can't say enough nice things. I’ve known her for a while now, and she's the heart and soul of the Savannah scene for me. Her support of local students, designers, and businesses is incredible. Liz’s store feels like the sort of place you want to move into, so I knew I’d turn to her for help with the wedding. And thankfully, she was kind enough to let me borrow some really key pieces, like the vintage petticoat dryer and the green-tiered plant stand. I think people thought I was a little nutty wanting to use the petticoat dryer for the escort cards, but I loved the way it expanded and thought the miniature clothespins we used to attach the cards was such a fun play on the idea of drying clothes. Liz’s store is always full of unexpected but beautiful items, and I felt really lucky to be able to use a few of them for the big day.

Real Wedding: Hope & Mike Karney {October 10, 2009}

I had the pleasure of planning their wedding eve family celebration in Savannah and have just a few pictures to share. It was a intimate gathering filled with family, friends, delicious food (starland cafe), champagne punch (my secret recipe) and sweets (back in the day bakery & harris bakery).

I constructed paper pom poms to hang from the ceiling, paper flags for the cupcakes, scattered mecury glass votive holders on tables covered with vintage white table cloths and sweet country flowers in recycled jars. The guest's favors were Byrd Cookie Company Key Lime Cooler cookies, a Savannah staple. And I must say they devoured my special champagne punch and all the yummy savories from the boys at Starland Cafe. It was a lovely affair just like Hope and Mike.
