Ok, how incredibly cute is this tuxedo-styled linen napkin? Can you imagine your guest’s faces when they walk up and see this darling display on their plates? I simply adore it!

It’s very rarely that get tickled pink about an event but Occasions Magazine has me tickled pink about their next event; the Eclipse Premiere Party! The incredible women at Occasions Magazine are bringing opportunities for us to see Eclipse before anyone else! Uhm, did I tell you how excited I am about this?
If you are a Twilight fan like me and like a few million others, you do not want to miss this event. Along with seeing the movie before anyone else, plan on attending a cocktail party which will feature Twilight-tini’s! Oh, did I tell you that I’m tickled pink about this event?
Here are the details according to the invitation.
What do vampires have to do with brides & bat mitzvahs? Absolutely nothing. Unless of course, you’re a Twilight fan like us!
Occasions Magazine is Atlanta’s magazine for celebrating in style. Period. To celebrate the release of our 1st anniversary issue AND the release of the third movie in the Twilight Saga series, Eclipse, we’re planning a party of our own.
Join us Tuesday June 29th at 6:30pm for the ultimate pre-party and an exclusive screening of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse at Regal Cinemas at Atlantic Station that night at 9pm… before anyone else gets to see it!
There will be food, photo booths, Twilight-tini’s, swag bags, candy buffets, music mixes from your favorite Twilight tunes and…free movie tickets!
So tell us if you’re Team Edward or Team Jacob and get your tickets because seats are extremely limited!

Vera Wang is certainly one of my favorite bridal gown designers. I love how she stays true to herself as an individual, I love how she stays true to her designing style but yet she’ll often push the trends while remaining classic.
Vera Wang’s fall 2010 Vera collection simply radiates with sheer beauty and elegance. And I do mean sheer! From I’ve read, this nostalgic collection is inspired by Cecil Beaton’s “My Fair Lady” whose interpretation can be seen through its dramatic lines and daring silhouettes. These gowns are whimsical and dreamy with their heavy use of French tulle, organza pleating, flange skirting, horsehair detailing and touches of black.
I have to tell you that I’m loving this black gown that she has. The gown is made up of several different layers of black French tulle and an oversized black bow tied to the side of the gown. Pay close attention to the gown as even though it’s a black gown, it does shimmer a bit because of the light brown organza underlay. Did I mention how much I simply adore this gown? I just need to find a bride to wear it and you know what? I might through a black tie party or find one to attend just so that I can wear this beauty.
My second favorite has to be this dark shade of white dreamy gown which features heavy French tulle, accentuate with organza sheers with light touches of lace. Do allow your eyes to go the bottom of the gown with the French pleating made of organza. The black belt adds a very nice touch to gown. Can you imagine yourself in a black wedding gown? Why and why not? I would love to hear your thoughts.
Plotting to wear the black wedding gown,

On the last weekend of February, I have the very best privilege and honor to work with one of my very favorite florist/designers in Atlanta! This florist/designer is one tremendous talent, knowledge and full of grace and every time we get to work together I feel as though I’m home.
Christine of Perfect Petals is one of those people who you’ll automatically feel drawn to with her warm and sincere smile. Regardless of how many weddings we do together (and believe me, we’ve done quite a few) I get very excited when a bride calls to notify me that they’ve chosen Perfect Petals to do their decor and flowers. And it is because of this reason I’m so thrilled to be working with her on this amazing event that I’m so honored to invite you to.
I’m also very excited because I’m going to have a chance to speak on a panel with other amazing wedding vendors about translating your Wedding Style! Did I tell you I’m excited? Well, I’m hoping to see you there and I certainly hope that you’ll find inspiration while attending this event. Below is the Itinerary for the weekend.
Hoping to see you this weekend,
