People often ask how I decorate events remotely. For this Bali in Chicago wedding, I put together a shoppable mood board for Rachel and Evan, which included a digital mockup of table linens, florals, signage, and centerpieces, and direct links to where they could purchase the items themselves.
I coordinated directly with her venue NoMI Chicago, linen rental company Tablescapes Event Rentals, and florist Anemone Chicago to ensure they were able to help setup and bring the mood board to life.
Lastly, I put together step-by-step instructions for the venue staff and some of her friends who volunteered to help set up the day of.
Voila! I think she did an amazing job! What do you think?

There is nothing more gratifying than seeing a digital mockup I've created on screen come to life! I loved creating this "Motherland Safari" centerpiece design for a beautiful mom-to-be's baby shower.
I know my strengths, and I am definitely better at styling and concepting than I am at crafting and executing. 😬😂 But I just couldn't say no to this wonderful mommy when she needed help putting the centerpieces together. With the help of my mom and mother-in-love, we pulled it off!

Precious hours are lost browsing Google and YouTube for direction. Not to mention money invested in books, classes, and "trial and error" experiments.

A kid-free Jamaica getaway for our 7th wedding anniversary was well overdue (almost a month to be exact)! We got married in Jamaica, so it was only right to return for our lucky 7.
It was the perfect combination of rest, relaxation, restoration and adventure. We even carved out time for our passions. If you know @magnifyvideo, then you know that his drone is always on the ready! And I got to do some business planning and gained a lot of clarity around where I want to take Prix Fixe Party. I can't wait to fill you all in on what's next!
Sometimes when you're feeling stuck, it's ok to stop and reset. But once you hit that reset button, it's time to throw that thang in gear, step on the gas and get to gettin'!
Having kids with birthdays so close together can be tough! My baby boy Royce turned 2 on 10/17, and my daughter Giselle turned 5 on 9/30. (#libraseason ♎ )
Some have suggested having their parties together, but being that they're 3 years apart and will be into different things and have different friends, that probably won't fly until they're adults!
That said, thinking I'll alternate and do a party for one and an experience for the other each year. Since we threw a party for Giselle for her big 5, we took Royce to the zoo, and he loved it!
Anyone else have kids with close birthdays? What's your strategy 🤔?
Decor: DIY balloon garland and "Wild One" themed decorations from @hobbylobby
One thing about me is that I will find ANY reason to decorate! 😩😂 My family traveled to NYC this weekend for the first time since we moved back to SC last July. We wanted a safe way to see all of our family and friends, so we threw an impromptu picnic in the park.
The vision: a scaled down version of a luxury picnic.
The challenge: finding décor items and picnic supplies we could easily transport, and having no inventory on hand being in another state.
The solution: I found a picnic basket complete with dinnerware and a blanket on Amazon that I had shipped to where we were staying a few days ahead of time, and purchased balloons from @partycit and fresh flowers from @traderjoes down the block. I found 4 pillow and a vinly kitchen mat to serve as our table at a local bed and bath store in the neighborhood.
How'd I do?
The great invitation debate: electronic vs paper.
Both have their place!
Electronic invitations are great as a more eco-friendly solution and there are so many platforms that allow you to not only inform guests of the event, but to also communicate important updates more seamlessly and share memories after the event is over.
Paper invitations make guests feel special and honored to know that the host or planner took the time to mail them a physical invite. They also serve as a nice keepsake for weddings and milestone birthdays.
Which do you prefer?
Here's a concept board for a princess-themed 5th birthday party for my daughter Giselle using our Lavender Macarons collection. What is it with little girls and princesses anyway? Is it just my child who has a new favorite princess every week?
Anywho. I love creating concept boards! It's one way to see how all of the elements in my head will come to life.
If you're having an upcoming event and need a little help seeing how everything will come together, shoot me a DM!I'd love to help you create a concept board with direct links to all of the items you'll need to get it done. ✔😊
Today is the day! We can't wait to see everyone's fabulous table décor! We sent a tutorial for those who rented our décor kits for Le Dîner en Blanc as we do for all of our collections. Happy decorating!
In our boulangerie baking up décor goodie bags for #dinerenblanccharlotte! Tote bags and backpacks will be much easier to carry than a box, so we hope you don't mind that we switched things up a bit. Your arms will thank us, and you're welcome. 😉
As a special gift, we're including candles from @packlightcandlecompany by @ritas_digest! If smellovision was a thing, y'all would be blowing up her DMs (go do that anyway 🏃🏾♀️) trying to see how you can get your hands on the Summer Nights Abroad scent. We really thought we were in Paris, but then realized we were in fact, still in SC. 🙄 However, knowing these candles will take us back to Paris or any other place we can imagine when we light them makes us smile again. 😊
Just doing a little staging for our table at #dinerenblanccharlotte this Saturday! How's your table décor coming together?
Accept your flowers. You've earned them. 😘
From the Dessert Table: Mini Lemon Meringue Pies
A good dessert table isn't complete without, well, dessert. These mini lemon meringue pies are easy to make and are a great choice for a lemon-themed party. Bon appetit!

Here’s a closer look at the Lavender Macaron collection. Inspired by an enchanted garden of lavender fields, it’s perfect for an outdoor shabby chic affair (but definitely more chic than shabby 😉 💅🏾). Everything you see is for rent except for the macarons, which we’ve already eaten. 👀
