I love getting creative and working with friends on new adventures and this time its for hot sauce! 🌶🌶🌶 Over the past few months I've partnered with some friends to help them create some branding for their hot sauce bottle flavors that they've been perfecting for years. Our Friday morning coffee hangouts in front of the computer have been fun and are a good excuse to have "work meetings". We all know a hot sauce lover in our life and I highly encourage you to try some. This sauce is fermented, which means its good for the gut. For those local they will be at the Middlebrook Agrihood "Fridays at the Farm" TONIGHT from 4:30-7:30pm! This is a free event featuring food trucks, drinks, local vendors, live music, and activities for the kids. Bring your lawn chairs and come enjoy the festivities!

The other day I had someone ask me..."what are your most memorable/favorite parts about a wedding day?" - It threw me off at first and I had to think for a little bit because there is quite a few, but these are my top three!
1.) That moment of calmness, yet nervousness and excitement just as the bride is about to walk down the aisle - It's usually just me, the bride, and whoever is es**rting her down the aisle and I feel so honored to be apart of such a special moment.
2.) Groom toasts to their bride! I've had groom's stand up and give the most compelling and romantic toasts to their new wives and all I can say is my husband would never do that 😂 Some are comfortable sharing their emotions in front of a large group of people and I'm here for it. We all want to live in a Lifetime movie,right?
3.) Mother/Son dance - gets.me.every.time 😭 They say a son is a son until he takes a wife and the mother/son dance is always such an emotional and beautiful moment at the wedding - you may have to pick me up off the floor when this moment happens with my boys at their wedding

Roll into your seat in style! One of the number one items I create for events is seating charts. Let's get creative with your seating chart...add a little glitter, pops of color, and even some texture. Loved working with the The Good Co. DSM to help bring my vision to life and create this custom shelved es**rt setup!
