Thank You-for your Thank yous!

“Dear Sandra,

I wanted to sit down and write you a note to tell you how beautiful everything was at Lindsey and Michael’s party… and how beautiful you make every party you do. I always comment on how you have to “re-invent” yourself at each event. Your hard work translates into perfect parties- Regards,

Summer Elegance at its Finest...

Last weekend we celebrated the beginning of summer! Nothing celebrates the changing of seasons like an elegant outdoor garden party. We used this aesthetic as inspiration for two very different events. Both parties utilized clean simple design with the natural beauty of the outdoors. We used clean white linens and elegant white floral arrangements. This aesthetic worked to celebrate the engagement of a lovely young couple and a fundraiser held by the brilliant Atlanta-based artist Radcliffe Bailey.

"Life of Bryan" an Epic 40th Birthday!


Invitation- 11" x 17"

For this epic 40th birthday party, we knew we had to do something that would exemplify the many faceted tastes of our client, while being as fun and exciting for our guests as it was for the client. This party was all about Bryan, so what better theme then “The Life of Bryan.” The inspiration for the theme came from the Monty Python film of the same name. Like Python’s quirky sense of humor, we collaged different elements of Bryan’s life, as well as fun kitsch decor, and a retro imagery.



We designed everything for this Party! The invitations(Pictured Above), which were fashioned like the “Life or Brian,” movie poster; they were actual poster size (11 x 17) and shipped in mailing tubes.


We designed the party with Bryan’s passions in mind. An avid sports fan, we designed a fun tailgate station with delicious lamb grilled on site and décor to match his favorite teams.



We also had a New Orleans Buffet, to celebrate his years at Tulane University, complete with two kinds of jambalaya and traditional Po’boy sandwiches. We also had an elegant black and white, pie shop complete with beignets and ice cream and a personalized birthday cake with his invitation printed in edible ink!



Dessert Station



Personalized Bryan Cookies!



The party also had an exclusive shot bar that served Irish Car Bombs and a shot girl serving Patron shots off an illuminated tray.


Over all, we think everyone had a wonderful time and we were very proud of our “Added Touch.”
