January 2012 – Jackie Fogartie

My beautiful cousin Theresa is getting married in 2013. You can see her below with her fiance Mike 🙂

Ter, as she is affectionately known, wants a “vintage romantic” look with champagne, light pink and gold for the colors. I’m helping her research ideas. Here is some vintage romance inspiration for Ter’s big day!

For invites, you could do a simple champagne and cream card:

Or choose a fancier invite like this light pink damask invite with a brooch!

I think these gold chivari chairs are a must.

I’m also loving this gold mercury glass. The soft light is perfect for the “romantic” theme.

These blush pink shoes with a little bling would be perfect with a dreamy dress.

…like one of these…these dresses are not for everyone, but the ethereal look is perfect for the theme!

I also love these beautiful bridesmaid dresses!

These cakes are gorgeous!

I love all these beautiful pink and cream flowers.

This is my favorite tablescape I’ve seen lately. I wish I could live at this table 🙂 Don’t you?

These inspiration boards are so beautiful and really capture the vintage romance theme.

Congratulations to Ter, and I can’t wait to help you bring all your ideas to life. Just as long as I get to party at your reception … wink wink 🙂

So along with Valentine’s Day and the Superbowl my little niece Brooke is turning 2 this month! I’m helping plan her Elmo birthday party. There was really no other choice for her birthday theme…the girl loves her some Elmo! I can’t believe this cutie pie is turning 2!

Her mama (my fab sister-in-law Drew) and I have already begun full planning mode, as per usual. We wanted to make some cute bags for the litle Elmo goodies all the kiddos will get, so I came up with this super simple idea. It involves 4 items: red paper bags, googly eyes, orange stiffened felt and hot glue. All things you can find at Michaels. Plus, you get to buy googly eyes…which is just fun in itself 🙂 We taught Brooke to say “googly eyes” but it sounds more like “Goo Goo Dolls.” Apparently she’s a fan of them too.

Trace out Elmo’s nose in the felt. Be sure to get the stiff felt, it’s easier to cut. A McCormick spice top is the perfect size for Elmo’s nose 🙂

Using a hot glue gun, glue on the googly eyes and nose and you’re done! You’ve got Elmo’s cute little face on the goody bags.

If you’re interested in more Elmo cuteness, you can look at my Elmo Pinterest page. Or if you want to go back in time to check out Brooke’s first birthday party, you can do that here.

I’ll be featuring the full party in all its glory in a few weeks. Hooray for Elmo!
