just a reminder about the amazing blowout sale kirstie kelly couture is having this weekend!! if you haven’t purchased your gown yet, this is an amazing opportunity to get a beautiful piece from her collection at a killer price!!

lately i’ve noticed that whenever i look through wedding photos on blogs or pinterest, colorful chairs always seem catch my eye. maybe because i am getting into the spring mood, but i just love that unexpected shock of color; it’s so bold and fun.
can’t wait until the day we get to use some colorful chairs on a wedding design, there are so many fun shades to choose from!!!
xoxo,

one of my favorite things many of our brides do is mix & match bridesmaid dresses. the variation in style and shade with a subtle cohesiveness brings such a fun & chic look to your wedding party. it also allows your girls to pick a dress of their choice that fits best for their body and budget.
there are so many different ways to play around with the mixing of dresses. you can select different silhouettes; pick varying shades of the same color, or a palette of colors and patterns. there are so many options and different ways to go when allowing your girls to pick that dress they feel most comfortable in while keeping your overall wedding look consistent.
you can certainly do this with traditional gown designers like amsale; jim hjelm, dessy, jenny yoo, monique lhuillier; vera wang, watters, etc…or go with bridal party fashions from jcrew or bhldn. also twobirds is an amazing dress that provide your girls with the same fabric and color tones but options to twist and tie the dress into any silhouette of their choice.
i love seeing fashions from anthropologie, ruche, forever 21, and modcloth…all of which have such amazing options of cute chic dresses that vary in color, fabric, and look, and can definitely be worn again!!

love those sequin pieces…great post kerisa!!
I like this idea, it gives the bridesmaids a choice of what to wear and it also adds more variety to the wedding party.

the fact that i am even typing “my little baby james will be 1 year old this sunday” makes me want to cry!! it seems like not that long ago we brought him home from the hospital. that moment every parent has: where they look at their sweet baby, look at each other, and then say “ummmm now what?!” gone is that little newborn who would snuggle & sleep on our chest. he is now an active little boy whose independent personality led him to boldly take his 1st steps on new year’s day…at only 9.5 months old. now he’s the king of the playground, exploring and getting into everything. i just love his playful curiosity, but also love those sweet moments where he will snuggle in my arms and be my baby as well.
this is what led me thinking about ideas for his 1st birthday party. even though some people say the 1st birthday isn’t a big deal, kids won’t remember it, blah blah, but it really is a major milestone. never in life will they grow and develop so much in one year. it also celebrates our 1st year of parenthood, we did it!! so i wanted this day to have meaning and to be something special for him.
i was inspired by one of his favorite activities…reading, and specifically bedtime stories. we’ve been reading him bedtime stories since before he was born, and it’s become something very special. it’s the time where we wind down from playing, and he snuggles up with his cozy pjs in our arms, and we are then transported to a land of imagination in his stories. as he excitedly turns the pages, touches or leans down to kiss the characters in his books, i am reminded of my own love of books as a child. there are even times where he’s quietly playing alone in his room (while i watch on the monitor) and i will see him get his books, sit down, and flip through them. then i wonder if he’s remembering the stories, the funny character’s voices, etc.? it’s just the cutest!!!
so…a bedtime story inspired party!! kids will be wearing their favorite pjs, we have a book donation going to CHOC, and some little fun activities. i am keeping as simple as an event designer can, but i did go a little crazy on some ideas. let’s just say, i have never crafted so much in my life. haha!! i am excited to share more details later, but in the meantime here’s our inspiration board created just for my little man’s big day. i can’t WAIT!!!

thank you all so much for the comments and love!!! we are so blessed that we get to share in this moment with you!! @james, i promise next year will be simple. (i think)
I was just thinking about you guys and J5 a few weeks back and as I took a peek into your Instagram, I loved seeing him grow up 1 photo at a time. Just as we knew, you guys would make amazing parents! He’s growing up so fast now and is developing such a personality! We’re so excited to many more years of watching J5 grow up! But for now, cheers to your 1st year as parents and cheers to J5 and turning 1!
It has been such a joy sharing our first year of motherhood together! Love you and love little J5! I know this party is going to be nothing short of amazing <3 xoxo
We did it, we survived our first year of parenthood! This past year has been such an enlightening experience. just watching this little guy go from this little newborn that would sit and look at us with so much curiosity to this little body running around the house and exploring everything. I know you have a lot of goodies in store for his birthday party and I can’t wait to see them all come together.
YAY! I can’t wait! Looks awesome!
i can’t believe he’s turning 1 already! it just flew by so fast. it’s been a joy watching you embrace mommyhood, even on the rough days, you seem utterly in love with your little man. can’t wait to celebrate with you!
