About Me

My photo
I spent two summers while in college working as a waitress at a dude ranch in Colorado. The experience was nothing less than incredible. Years later, I have wonderful friends that I still keep in touch with as well as an amazing husband. I still think back to those summers because I learned how hard work really pays off and how much I enjoyed putting together all the food events for the guests. The ranch always hired staff from the South because the owners said they always received compliments on their friendly service from guests...My boss' response was "It's just Southern Hospitality." It was not until I began planning my wedding that I realized how I had missed my calling. I wish I could say I am a successful event planner living my dream, but I am not just yet and hope that collecting my ideas and sharing them will be a start (thanks Molly). Enjoy!

Rustic Summer Wedding with Southern Charm


I got to attend a wedding in Auburn, AL a few weeks ago.  It had so many custom details and charm that I couldn't stop taking pictures. If you are into the rustic look, take notes...burlap used all around in a classy way, love it!

The wedding reception was held outdoors at a family friend's home, who happended to have plenty of land and a barn in their backyard.  A few tents were brought in and the barn was used to hold tables for seating as well as serving food and drinks.  The band played under a tent.  Due to the South's summer hot and humid evening, the wedding cakes were served inside the family's main house in their dining room. 




Signature Drink, Sweet Tea Vodka
