Movin' on Up...

As a good friend of mine said, "It's like hearing from the Queen of England."  It's something I never expected and something I only imagined of when I first got started creating Sweets Tables.  But my day did come and I finally heard from her.  Only this queen is the Queen of Sweet ... Amy Atlas.

I couldn't be more thrilled to finally graced the blog pages of Sweet Designs.  I am honored and it gives me more inspiration to continue creating beautiful tables full of Sweet Nothings.

Tinkerbell Sweets Table

I'm so excited to share these photos of our Tinkerbell Sweets Table!  A dear friend of mine, Krista Salmon, of Kiki's List certainly knows how to throw a party.  Her daughter, Anna, was turning 3 and she asked that I create a candy table for the party.  After finalizing the candy selection and backdrop with an Inspiration Board we were set.   

What really topped off the table was the AMAZING cake done by Kristy Stone of Tastefully Treated.  It was literally a work of art.  I highly recommend her as she made the cake for my bridal shower and it was one of the best cakes I've ever had!  

I'm thrilled with the way the table turned out and so happy that Anna had a magical day.  Check out more photos of the party from Kiki's List.

Sneak Peek: Firetruck Sweets Table

Remember THIS post??

Well, the big reveal is right around the corner!  This weekend Sweet Nothings will be debuting our Firetruck Sweets Table with the help of the ever-so-fabulous Hampton Paper Designs!  Kristin, owner of HPD, is throwing a Firetruck party for her son Jackson's 4th birthday.

Kristin asked me to come up with a fire-themed design and incorporate candies that coordinated with the HPD firetruck and helmet invitations.  When creating any sweets table, a backdrop is A MUST!  After settling on various red, yellow and black candies I was able to select vessels that would best showcase the candies and keep with the firehouse feel.  I created an inspiration board for Kristin so she could design exclusive Hampton Paper Design labels for each of the vessels.  

Look for the pictures on our blog next week to see how it all turned out!!

If you are throwing a party in the near future and would like me to create a custom inspiration board for you, please contact me.  Inspiration boards will include a custom design, table layout, candy selections, vessels and where to go for all of your sweet materials!

Be Sweet.

July 10th, 2010 .... A Day to Remember

On July 10th, 2010, I married my best friend.  It was a day full of emotion, love, laughter and memories that will last a lifetime.   

The morning of our wedding day, it rained with fury.  Fortunately, the rain stopped and just as it was time for the ceremony to begin, a breeze picked up.  The sound of the leaves began rustling in the wind.  The clouds parted in the sky and the sun shined down on us.  It was utterly magical and proved to me that all was right in the world at that very moment. 

The images below capture our day perfectly.  So many aspects of our wedding were done by Curtis and myself.  We hand-painted each sign, built the centerpieces, arranged our own flowers, favors and more.  Thank goodness for all of the help from our family and friends the week of the wedding - we couldn't have pulled it off without them.  

A special thank you to James Woo of James Woo Photography for doing a fabulous job photographing our wedding.
You are amazing.

And now... we finally depart for our honeymoon.  It's been the best 3 months of my life and I am thrilled to spend a blissful week with the greatest guy ever.  My husband.

The end.

Be Sweet.
