Ahoy, It's a Boy party!

I love doing this, I really do.  It's so fun when you've spent weeks or months in the planning process and you finally get to see everything come into place just as you envisioned it (and sometimes even better!).  This party was extra special since it was in honor of a friend (and co-worker) who is having her first little bambino!  It was also such a treat to work with the hostesses of the party - Ashley & Christie.  They were the perfect "partners in crime" and jumped right on board with my vision (pun intended :)) and were so gracious to allow me creative freedom in many of the details.  We made a really great team and I hope there are future opportunities to work together again!  SO...without further ado, here are the pictures from the shower...

Alice in Wonderland

Recently, my friend Ashley and I put together an Alice in Wonderland themed dinner party for our supper club.  It was originally planned to be outdoors at Arrington Vineyards, but due to what they are now calling the "thousand year flood" in Nashville, our party was moved indoors - to my place.  A successful party should be great, regardless of location, right?  Well...that's what we kept telling ourselves as the rain kept coming...and kept on coming.

So, we made due.  We turned off all the lights, lit candles everywhere, played the new Alice in Wonderland soundtrack in the background (which is so great by the way!) and enjoyed every delicious morsel of food. Ashley rocked the tea sandwiches, gazpacho and hors d'oeuvres. I made all the sweets. The combination of all of the above was a perfect compliment to each other and we sat around the table talking, laughing, enjoying a glass of wine and listening to the rain pour down outside.
