By Invitation Only...Event Planning & Design

The beauty of designing events is the ability to take what someone envisions with color, texture, shape and turning it into a memorable experience.

We love being able to step into a blank space - creating something unique and different each time, that speaks about our client.

This beautiful wedding dinner at 1208 Washington gave every guest “the best seat in the house“ with soft base colors and a lovely pop of green.

Cheers to 53!

As a roll into this next year, I look back on a year that truly was one of the hardest in my life. But I realize that I am the luckiest person- I have such many amazing family and friends that have truly lifted me up so that I could survive that year and tackle this next one with all the excitement and energy possible.

I love that in a year that was so hard, I made more new connections and lasting relationships that I never saw coming, and I will cherish these forever-I want to foster them and grow!

I wish I could write a list of all those that I want to thank but this post would be a mile long.

I’m ringing in this next year on this earth in fine fashion - let 53 begin and let it be SPECTACULAR 😉🥳🎉🍾🥂

Thank you Rae Marshall for capturing this moment!

It’s all in the details {and we love them}!

Whether it is something for everyone to enjoy and make the moment even better or one that only you know about- it makes a difference on wedding day and speaks about YOU!

Don’t forget that it is the little things in life that sometimes mean the most when you look back ❤️

As I pack for trip to the mountains this weekend- I was thinking back on Lindsey and Andrew’s lovely Biltmore wedding!

East Coast Wedding Photographer captured the day perfectly while the couple enjoyed being so very present with all their guests, completely immersed in the experience!!!

Today just feels like a great day for color! We are in the midst of a heat wave here in the south and when I get to July, I always think about beautiful, bold, bright colors!

And you never go wrong with shades of pinks and greens🩷💚

Historic Columbia Rentals Seibels House was the perfect backdrop for this colorful wedding design in it’s carefully manicured gardens.

Something Special accepted and mastered the task of creating floral design that brought all of our textures and colors together.

Creating beautiful memories in unique spaces excites me to no end.

When Ben and Eric said they wanted to have their amazing reception at the Georgia State Railroad Museum - I was over the moon.

Dinner in the Round House amongst these old train cars was so exciting and distinctive!

A winter wedding done so beautifully right!!! Beautiful shades of gray with a soft touch of blue.

Their custom letterpress invitation inspired us to create our dance floor design that was elegant perfection!

Lush blooms and candles adorned the space making it so warm and inviting!
