Launch Party

I had the pleasure of designing Love Life Images launch party with them. They are one of my favorite photographers in the area! It was held on a gorgeous August evening at River Farm under the tent. We separated the tent into three areas to make it look like “living rooms” with hanging pictures on the walls. Each room represented Love Life Images company. Jennifer had the love area. It was super glamourous & sexy with crystals, white furniture and her lovely raspberry color. Mary had the Life area it was super charming mixed in with wood, moss and a nice outdoor feel. The middle section was Life Life it represented a little of everyone at this fabulous company and it was designed with a masculine feel. We had a lot of fun creating this party together.

3rd Annual Par-tay!

We were so happy to throw our 3rd annual cocktail party with our good friends Jamie & Laura a few weeks ago. This year we held our swanky party at Lotus Lounge. The end of summer event was filled with our closest friends in the industry. It’s a night where we all come out to simply enjoy a super fun cocktail and really good laughter. A HUGE Thank you to all the vendors involved and for those who supported us this year!! A special thanks to Love Life Images for these amazing photos.

Wedding Planner Lunch

Last week I had the pleasure of getting a few of my favorite wedding planners together in Georgetown. It was a gorgeous sunny day and we all had smiles on our faces. Being in the company of these ladies has to be one of my favorite things to do. All of these wedding planners have the “passion”. You can spot that a mile away in them. They are born with that drive “the love for weddings” you can see it in their work. They eat, sleep and dream weddings. I believe that there is a perfect wedding planner for every bride. I’m blessed to know these ladies and I always enjoy being in their company. Thanks for coming out and I hope we can all get together again real soon!

Thank you Kate Triano for joining and sharing these pictures.

Congratulations Kelly on your baby boy!!! Thanks for sharing the news Sara


Nick Perez of Multiflor did a great job on the table centerpiece. There were items in it that we couldn’t make out-how fun!

Thank you Silver Leaf for the lunch

Thanks Lovely Ladies!! Have Fun with all of your fabulous events coming up. We missed the great gals that couldn’t make it.

Great Party!

The Garden of Good and Evil was the theme of the party I recently went to at The Halcyon House. Kelly Jenkins from Capitol Decor is brilliant with his designs, an absolute genius. The party was filled with sassyness and I loved it. Well Dunn had me going back for seconds at the pumpkin risotto station-yummy. Chris Laich had us all moving to the groove with the great tunes. Thanks for the invitation I enjoyed hanging out in a great atmosphere with all my fabulous industry friends! I route for GOOD;)

Urban Market Tasting

Last Wednesday I attended one of my favorite tastings ever. Occasions Caterers had wonderful food tasting at the American Pharmaceutical Association in Washington DC. Occasions is a certified green caterer, and that means they are committed to protecting the environment and conserving natural resources. The idea behind the tasting was for local farmers to contribute fresh ingredients and Occasions chefs to make delicious delights out of them. What a clever idea! It was very interactive, tasteful and colorful…..not to mention the view was amazing.

Thomas Van Veen did a fabous job with the pictures!

End of Summer Fete

Last Thursday was a great turn out at Josephine for our cocktail party. So many friendly faces were there to simply have a good time. The party was filled with people who love what they do for a living and it was a pleasure to be in their company. There’s no doubt that we can have a blast with our industry friends. Thank you all for coming and supporting us and each other. What a great way to bring summer to a close and gear up for all of our Fall events. I’m excited to share these photos with all of you, brought to you by Juan Carlos from Fotobriceno who really out did himself this time. He is truly a brilliant photographer! Enjoy these photos and our swanky end of summer cocktail party!

A huge thank you to Jamie & Laura who hosted the event with me!


Nick Perez with Multiflor did a phenomenal job with the flowers for the event! They were absolutely perfect!

Kelly Jenkins from Capital Decor and Events is, well, one of the most creative people I know. Thank you for helping us make our dessert displays have a little extra French flare to them!

Fun damask dessert signage on Kelly’s gold display. Occasions Catering rocked our party! Joel and his staff were a real joy to work with.

Kelly had a great idea to display cupcakes on these fun chairs.

Kendall with Kendall’s Cakes really went out of her way with the cupcakes. She baked 5 different flavors including red velvet & coconut. Thanks so much Kendall!

One of my favorite things at our party was the live artist, Patty with Patricia Rice Studio patty3

We all took a second to sing “Happy Birthday” to Kelly Jenkins with Captial Decor. Thanks for starting your celebration with us Kelly!

Party with your friends!

Last year I geared up with my very good friends Jamie & Laura to throw a swanky summer cocktail party in the city. It was a HUGE success so we decided to try it again this year. It’s always nice to get all your event professional friends together in one room to simply have a good time! Our party will be held this Thursday at Josephine a chic lounge in the city. We are expecting a great turn out, and of course, a fabulous time. We have a few things up our sleeve… I’ll post more about it when the talented Juan Carlos gives us the pictures. In the meantime, I thought I’d blog the party we threw last year at The Park at Fourteenth in DC. If I had a blog last year I would have given it a shout out then. I guess its better late than never. Jennifer and Mary of Love Life Images did a great job with the pictures last year and everyone LOVED their fun photo-booth, so I thought I’d share a few of those pictures with you. See you Thursday.
