Preview {The NotWedding}

thejewelbee — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 02:23:24 +0000

The NotWedding this past Thursday was more fun, more inspiring, more heartwarming, and more bonding that I ever thought it would be. I met some amazing people and formed several friendships that I truly treasure in this industry. I was also blessed with beautiful flowers. I mean miracle out-of-season {yet somehow available} flowers. I was ecstatic.

Here’s a preview of some of my designs from the gorgeous lens of the dynamic duo behind Rustic White Photography.

I’m tickled pink…and peach. {wink}

Table Numbers (and Banner) by Liddabits…who I’ll have to brag about more in the future.

The Golden Ticket {The NotWedding Giveaway}

thejewelbee — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 15:49:15 +0000

The only thing I’m missing from this post is a couple of Umpa Lumpas….because this is the golden ticket if you’re a newly engaged bride! As I’ve said before, I have the awesome privilege of being one of the vendors for the upcoming The NotWedding on Thursday, March 8th at Ambient Plus Studio. Last night I met many of the vendors and trust me on this, the team assembled is quality meets adorability meets sheer awesomeness.

And, I have a ticket to give away. SO, here are the details: If you’re a bride and want this ticket, have your BFF’s, mom, mom’s bestie, and kitchen sink “like” my Facebook Page and post a comment about why they think you and your hot lil’ self should win this ticket.

I’ll announce the winner next Friday…no hot air balloons will be used, but you’ll be walking on a cloud after the event I guarantee it!

A Sweet Fête {Emily & John}

thejewelbee — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 06:51:36 +0000

Emily is a snazzy blog writer and owner of a darling Etsy shop chocked full of vintage goodies. She’s also just a dear with more than a hint of sass – my kind of chic! I had the privilege of providing her and John with their wedding flowers this past weekend and got to work with some of my favorite vendors in the process: Mao of Four Inch Fold Vintage Rentals and Dana of Zest Atlanta – a marvelous collection if I do say so myself!

Oh! And their main photographer, Whitney Huynh kicked photog butt with her gorgeous, gorgeous images!!

See what I mean???

Eating the Elephant {and other musings}

thejewelbee — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 00:27:15 +0000

This coming week is nuts – like time to get a clone of myself who’s equally as cuckoo as I am – nuts. Basically it’ll be a blast and then I can get a massage!

Right now, though, I have a free moment. A breather. A sigh. A bit of time to realize I can just eat the elephant of the week I have coming “one bite at a time.” I realize I’m journaling on my professional blog, but oh well. I’m at Sun in my Belly “hawking” my wares in the corner {it’s Valentine’s Day for the next 4 days, don’t you know?!} and listening to the most glorious little band that’s making me a bit sleepy but mostly just calm.

I’ve been wanting to share these images from The Boxcar Grocer’s grand opening party a few weeks ago and I just haven’t had a breather before now – so enjoy these. And check out Boxcar – it’s a great neighborhood grocery with a great mission.

Crème de la Crème {Carmen & Josh}

thejewelbee — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 03:55:01 +0000

Let me start out by saying Carmen is a cutie. A bonafide born n’ bred Georgia girl with a contagious smile that clearly her new hubby, Josh, melts for. Their wedding took place in Winder, Georgia this past October and was overflowing with cream and white flowers, touches of pink, gathered objects, homemade cakes, and personal elements galore.

It was terribly difficult to pick out a sampling of images because these images (that are so yummy – yes, pictures can be yummy) are gorgeous. They were captured by Mandy Busby Photography who I cannot recommend enough – she is a darling and so amazing at what she does.

See? Cuties. ♥

Tied Up With String {2011 Favorites}

thejewelbee — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 16:55:16 +0000

2011 marked the beginning of my life as a full-time floral and event designer which has felt like stepping off into a warm cushy creative free fall of possibility. It also marked my first overseas wedding which still has me itching to do more. It was a beautifully frightening year of surprises and perseverance. I loved it!

Here are some of my favorite things from this year: design-related or otherwise. Many of them are linked so click to your heart’s content…you won’t be disappointed.

Thank you for your support this year and for cheering me on. I am grateful.
