Last wedding post (I promise)!!! LOL

There were so many details from this wedding that I love. From the brides converse, to the groomsmen socks. This affair truly was a family event!

In line with the "Tiffany" inspired theme even the cupcake design was detailed to the Max! And they were scrumptious! Cupcakes and Wedding cake were provided by Impressional Sweets Inc.

I don't know what I would have done without my mom's help. She never got to take a official picture. Even on my camera this is the only picture I have of her. 

The food was catered by Gidi's Gourmet. The food was excellent and I would highly recommend him again to any of my friends and clients. We had soo much food that people were able to go back to the buffet several times. And even after all of that my cousins family still took trays of food home. Weeks later everyone is still talking about his food.

When I say we had a party I mean our family had a party!!! I luv that about us. 

Speaking of fun. It was soo much fun working with Mellisa Zeyner. She went above and beyond the call when it came to her duties as a photographer. And she was open to whatever ideas the bride and I suggested. One time she actually offered to bring me water while I was announcing the table numbers for the buffet. She was very professional but at the end of the day we felt like we were saying goodbye to a good family friend!  

Talent seems to ooze out of my family's veins. The photo in the background was painted by the young man standing there with his ooh so cute daughter. He just happens to be my cousin and brother of the bride. By the way, the flower girl dress in this picture was sewn by my very talented sister!

And as you may or not know my daughter is a make-up artist and she did all of the make-up for the wedding party that day. On top of that she vlogged that day and the highlight video can now be seen on her youtube channel.

Like I said I promise this is my last wedding post. At least of this wedding. Who knows what the future holds. LOL Next week I hope to be back to my regular blogging. I've already started on my first organizing project of the month. And there is no painting involved! LOL

Its official!!!

Its official! I've finally posted the details of the wedding on my Treasured Creations blog! By the way...see that beautiful Unity Candle set? $4.00 from the Dollar Tree! Ya'll know how much I love a good bargain...well it didn't make sense to spend $40.00 on a holder that didn't really go with our theme so off to the Dollar Store we went! Two glass candleholders, a glass mirror and a glass candle plate and va voom!!! You have a cute, yet affordable Unity candle set. Oh, and the tablecloth belonged to her grandmother. We used small symbolic details throughout the wedding. You will see even more of those details when you visit my creative page. That's basically what its become since I haven't scrapped in forever.  LOL

Wedding Day!!!

 

The wedding was beautiful! I'm taking a much needed rest, but I will be posting "detailed" photos on my Treasured Creations blog really soon! I could not do what I do if I did not have the support of this man! My family pitched in big time, and if it wasn't for all of their help I think the brides mother (my cousin) and I would have lost our minds! The set up and breakdown took hours to prepare but our family worked their socks off. This event was truly a family affair (you can see snippets from the day on my Instagram. The hashtag is #operationtrice ). The bride was beautiful (all made up with a little help from my DD Martinique757 ).  The food was delicious, and the atmosphere of the day was very festive. I love my "job", but I especially love my family! You won't find much drama in our inner circle but what you may find is a crazy group of people who love on each other like nobody's business. Have a blessed week everyone.

Ipsy Subscription

After the wedding is over (and after a week or so of rest) I will start back up with my monthly favorites and will add a review each month of my thoughts on the Ipsy subscription. I have a couple of other post in mind including a revamp of my "through the eyes of the pw" and Sunday Best post. I have missed my regular blog posting and I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing of things! 

Hope everyone is enjoying the last few weeks of summer!!! 

Our Women's Ministry Workshop

Y'all know how much I luv details!!! lol We really did have a good time at our Cafe Workshop last Saturday. Of course the fact that so many of my family and friends came out to help with the event made me a very happy lady!!!

Each lady received a coffee mug to match their group color. I mean really??? You can't have a Cafe without coffee mugs! LOL

I'm known for taking stuff from home to use at church for events. I have several plants there and I took my hydrangea centerpiece out there to use.

Yes, every last serving piece on the table belongs to me!!! LOL

Our registration table. I looked everywhere for a coffee smelling candle but the closest I came to one was a Hazelnut Cream from Walmart's Mainstay line.

Instead of name tags this year each lady got a workshop folder with their journal and pen. They then had to find other women who had the same color as they did and that made up their small group.

At lunch we gave each of the ladies a bag lunch with a Deli style sandwich, chips with salsa and cheese available for them to dip them in as well as brownies made by my daughter Quisha.

Our fellowship hall made for a great "Cafe"!

Our beverage station with cold water and orange juice. Each lady also received a packet of hot chocolate. 

Our sweet table was a huge success!!! 

And even though the chocolate fountain gave us a fit, it was still a hit with the ladies!

Did I mention that I stamped T-shirts for this event? Finally my scrapbook supplies are being used again! My friend and I spent an afternoon looking for cafe or coffee related stamps only for me to come home and find them in my own stash! SMH

I also stamped aprons for our guest facilitators. Just because your a small church does not mean you can't do things with excellence! Our team did a great job!!!! I wish I could say I'm resting but the wedding is next weekend and my list though smaller then it has been the last few months is still pretty full! To top that we are preparing for our Fall Revival and the 5th Anniversary of Marc and I being at WABC. So until later...you all have a blessed week and weekend!
