Two month hiatus after my wedding and I’m back! 🤍 🙌🏼 To give you a little recap of what’s been going on in my life: Justin and I got married in Meridian, Mississippi, my hometown, you can official call me Mrs. Smith, we went on a fabulous honeymoon to Croatia, I started a new full time position with an online course creation company - so you will see me side hustling for a while now, and now I am excited to debut some new services to you! Whew! Now you see why I needed a small break. 🤪

Parasol Event Co. will now offer full and partial event planning, day of coordination, rehearsal dinner planning, styling, bachelorette party services and of course stationery and event branding services! I am so excited for you to take a look at our website that will launch very soon with these updated services and talk with you about your next event. 🎉 Let’s get this party started! 🤩

Mail day over here! 💌 Assembly is one thing I love of the stationery process. I enjoy seeing all the designed pieces come together and I start thinking of the responses of the people receiving the invitations. 💕 It’s all in the stack of your wedding stationery, the presentation of embellishments and your stamp!

What do most brides dread in the wedding process??
* Planning their wedding. It is overwhelming if you are not a planner or have a lot on your plate already!
* Invitation lists - Yes, I said list. You will need your main list, shower lists, engagement party list, etc.
* Assembly of invitations!

I do not personally hold your hand through planning your wedding or forming your lists 😉 but invitation assembly is something I LOVE and it is an ADD ON to ordering your invitations through Parasol! Weight lifted off shoulders - RIGHT?? 🎉 Most of my brides opt for this option and are so pleased with this service and highly recommend it to other brides-to-be.

Ready to just “Say Yes” to the full package of wedding invitation design??

Yes, with pleasure I will attend! 😉 Sometimes a change in color is a must! 😍 Loving this mauve to coordinate with the wedding florals.

Thankful 🤍 Who knew I would meet my love three years back through a dinner date and end up with him proposing in such a short time. 🥰 God's power and plan for our lives is much larger than we can ever expect!

I always dreamed of someone supporting me, pushing me, and loving me through the highs and the lows, and he is that and so much more!! I am excited to say I DO in May on the golf course in my hometown - we are both golfers!

Anyways .... I am so happy you are here! ✨ I get giddy every time I work with each and every one of my clients. I love seeing your ideas come to life on paper. 💌 Quintessentially, storytelling on paper is what sets the tone for an event or occasion!! So, let's get to designing!!

Decisions. decisions!! 💍 Which one you would go with?

Today I selected my wedding band! It ONLY took me a second try on to decide 😂 Deciding on a ring is so hard when you love them all!! Let’s just say ... I’m in love with the my decision. 🤍

We had an amazing experience with Brilliance In Diamonds - The Engagement Specialists! Their expertise in custom designed jewelry is superb and they are a husband/wife duo - how sweet! ♥️ You have to visit their page and be in awe!!

I am looking forward to visiting Charleston on my bachelorette 🥂 And our honeymoon is a secret to me, but excited to see where we can travel to through all this craziness! ✈️

Illustrated, ornate magnolias surround client's initials making for a beautiful crest that can be applied to many details throughout her wedding 🤍

Business on the front, PARTY on the back! ✨Love to add fun details to the back of invitations rather than leave it blank. I’m excited to share the “business” front with you soon. 😉

In wax seal heaven over here 🤍 partially due to the fact Parasol is a Pro and bc this wax seal design is giving off some major Mardi Gras feels! ⚜️ If your are in need of wax seals, a wax seal design, or wax seal assembly, let’s talk! 💌

Simple and elegant 🤍 Designed a three-initial monogram and included it on the card design behind the details and on the envelope flap! Plus ... all envelopes were addressed and printed with the same calligraphy font as the Save the Date! 🙌🏼 We call that happy mailing!! 💌 Southern Wedding Pixels

The perfect way to end this crazy year - asking my bridesmaids if they would stand by me on the Big Day! 🤍 I opted for simplicity and elegance with three gift items tucked inside a white box with craft crinkle paper with a mauve satin bow and a touch of greenery. 🌿 Plus, I designed a cute note to include inside.

Bridesmaids proposals can be a fun way to give a preview of what’s to come for the wedding festivities! For these boxes I went to my favorite place to shop for goodies, T.J.Maxx. And this gorgeous ribbon I fell in love with, I picked up from JOANN Fabric and Craft Stores. It’s the “Save The Date” brand - how fitting it that?! 💕 I am thinking of using an ivory color from this brand throughout the wedding as well!

On another note, Happy New Years Eve! 🍾 I have been off the grid lately with the holidays and wedding planning, but I plan to make 2021 the best year yet. Look for to see more stationery and paper goodies and events!! 🎉 Let’s just pray things get back to a somewhat normal year. We all need some normalcy in our lives.

Do you believe in manifestation - Where you keep reminding yourself verbally of something your want to happen? You know I never really thought too much into this, but recently this mindset along with prayer, has given me the most satisfaction of there being a light at the end of the tunnel! ✨🙌🏼

What satisfies me the most in owning my own business is that I get to serve others with my talents! ♥️ Why would God give me these talents, if I cannot use them for a good use? Right?? 🤷🏻‍♀️ I love seeing my designs and efforts for stationery come to life for my clients. Just the other day I received two holiday cards in the mail I designed! It just brightened my day!! 🎉

If I can help you with your last-minute holiday cards, don’t hesitate to reach out! 💌 [email protected]

Anyone else having a hard time getting back into the work swing of things after the glorious holiday weekend? ✨ This week has been full of pushing out holiday card designs, admin work, and wedding planning for a client, and yes, that includes my wedding as well.

Many questions I have received lately all relate to events and planning an event with all the restrictions in place due to Covid. AND let me just say, today is the day to start planning!! 🎉 There are venues open, caterers needed your business, and people wanting to attend events in a safe way!

So, if you are in need of assistance planning your next corporate event, holiday party, wedding festivity, or small get-together at your home, let Parasol Event Co. bring your event to life! 🤩 Let's talk - [email protected].
