Ari Handel and Josh were married a year ago.   Loved being apart of their wedding. These photos popped up on my fb today and I thought I'd post some of their photos on the blog today.  Laura Leppert did an amazing job as always.   

Ok, this was one of the most fun events Elegant Events had the opportunity to do this year. An authentic Crawfish Boil brought up from Louisiana, the groom home state.  The setting was the bride's aunt home which had a real southern feel which only added to this super fun event.  We decorated with simple red and white cloths, white wood chairs and newspaper and lanterns for centerpieces.  We added a cute touch with small brown bags with stamped with a crawfish and used them to  hold the plasticware at each place settings.  A few plastic crawfish we tossed in just for fun and we are on our way to a terrific event.  How cute are these pics by TM Photography.  Thanks Tine for the images. Thanks to Lori from Elegant Event who created this event and brought it to live.  Don't you just love the white was cloths all rolls and tied with a lemon slice.  We had a wash station but we had to make these too!  So cute!

I just love Kendra Scott Jewelry.  Have you been to her store in Liberty Center yet?  It is so worth the drive up!  Just walking in the door is a wonderful experience. I attended the the launch of their new Weddings Collection on Thursday, September 22nd.  Grace Nowack, the Community Relations & Events Manager was wonderful to meet as well as the rest of the staff. I had such a nice time enjoying mimosas,  and sampling light brunch bites from Delish in a Dish.  It was so cool to see the new Wedding Collection and to learn more about their color bar.  I think every bride and her maids would enjoy visiting this unique and lovely place and experiencing the opportunity to custom select you own jewelry and then walking out with it in just a few minutes. Wow!  And, of course I had to invest in the Elisa pendant!  Love the name and the piece!  

"Kendra Scott is a leading fashion-lifestyle brand sold in more than 45 brick-and-mortar stores across the country and over 800 speciality boutiques.  We are thrilled to venture into new territory through the launch of our Weddings Collection, offering brides the opportunity to customize special occasion jewelry for all of the meaningful moments along the way."

I had the opportunity the other night to finally get to tour of a place I had been wanting to see since it opened.  La Petite Pierre and The Living Room hosted a loved parisian tasting and tour of the creative urban chic meeting space.  La Petite Pierre provided wonderful little bites in each space,including different drinks.  And The Living Room has many different rooms,  each space it's own unique setting.  The highlight was the roof top area. What a cool spot!  If you are looking for a creative, space, this might be the just what you want. hellolivingroom.com is worth checking out! Thanks Michele with La Petite Pierre and Deanna Lucas with The Living Room.
