Coming Soon: Mr. & Mrs. Henry

November 19, 2015

When Annabelle and Wade became engaged, I jumped for joy. When they joined the Southern Glam Weddings & Events family, I was over-the-moon! I’ve known Annabelle since we were little, like embarrassing photos of bad haircuts little, because I was (and still am!) best friends with her sister Rosalie. Their momma, Sherry is like a second mom to me so you now see why it was such an honor to be apart of this wedding planning process. We all knew Wade was THE one for Annabelle awhile ago; we were so glad we no longer had to anxiously wait for him to grace Annabelle’s finger with that sparkly ring of hers any longer!

Without further adieu, I introduce you to the future Mr. and Mrs. Henry:

I’m so excited for their wedding next month in Georgia. It’s going to be the wedding of the century! Congratulations Annabelle and Wade!

PS: Isn’t this photo precious taken just moments after Wade proposed to Annabelle? They melt my heart!

The Southern Glam Gatsby ‘Roaring 29’ Birthday

November 4, 2015

It’s time to drink champagne and dance on the table because a little party never killed nobody!

In high school, my favorite book was the Great Gatsby and I fell in love with the allure of the Roaring 20’s decade. I decided to celebrate like Gatsby for the last year in my 20’s and have a Great Gatsby birthday party.

Southern Glam Gatsby’s Roaring 29 Birthday

I had been eyeing the sprinkle birthday cake from Dough and my sweet husband took note and surprised me with one for my party! The fabulous invitations are from SoCalCrafty, fun printables/Instagram print from InkMeBeautiful, and the amazing photo props from LetsGetCreative. Isn’t Etsy amazing? Each business was amazing to work with and provided artwork to compliment my event design.

We started the party a bit early with photos at home so the few who couldn’t make dinner could celebrate a bit and sip champagne.Afterwards we headed to Ciro’s Speakeasy and Supper Club to meet the rest of the group and spoke easy in the private lounge behind the bookcase. The handcrafted cocktails were absolutely amazing as was the food!It was a fabulous night celebrating with wonderful friends! Everyone looked amazing dressed up and I couldn’t ask for a lovelier group of fun people. There were sparkle, pearls, lace, and feathers everywhere – it was definitely a Southern Glam Weddings & Events production! That gorgeous dress I wore … rented from Rent the Runway! I hated to part ways with it when my time was up!

Of course I had to get a photo with my dapper Chipper Jones! He’s always ready for a glamorous party with his tuxedo!PS: That giant bottle of champagne from the first photo is from Crumb&Cork. The night before I celebrated with family (I actually celebrated ALL week!) and ended up with a lovely souvenir that perfectly complimented the Southern Glam Gatsby party the following evening. I proudly pranced around downtown Tampa with it in tow all night! Thank you, Crumb&Cork!Pop fizz clink to 29! If the year is anything like my birthday week, it’s going to be a wonderful year! Cheers!

Tampa Bay Rays Baseball Baby Shower

October 3, 2015

Mama-to-be, Katie and Dad-to-be, Jon are HUGE Tampa Bay Rays baseball fans. As soon as I knew the gender of their baby from the Gender Reveal Party, it didn’t take me long to think of a baseball baby shower for their little boy. Introducing a Tampa Bay Rays baseball baby shower.

Bases are loaded! Let’s bring home Baby Minch!

The invitations are from Etsy and turned out ADORABLE! I really like the idea of guests bringing their favorite baby book instead of a greeting card. That way, Baby Minch would already have a good start to his book collection.

When planning the details, the color scheme would be based on the Tampa Bay Rays team colors: navy blue, light blue, white, and yellow. I wanted to showcase the different parts of a ball field of which being: game day gear, the locker room, the concession stand, and the team store.

One of the funniest questions I received that day was, ‘what is the deal regarding that wrapped boxed?’ … My answer, “That’s the trash can for when Katie opens gifts.”

I’ve never been a fan of the black-garbage-bag-that-sits-next-to-the-honoree-opening-gifts thing. Many photos are taken during this fun moment and a big ol’ unsightly trash bag doesn’t happen at my events. I simply purchased a moving box and wrapped the outside. Ta-daa!

Jon’s sister Alicia and their mom also assisted with shower planning and hosted the baseball stadium inspired menu of sliders, nachos, stuffed pretzels, and fruit salad. Alicia planned Katie’s bridal shower and had amazing games so she graciously took charge of the fun we had for the baby shower.

What’s a Southern Glam event with an abundance of details?

Congratulations on your little boy, Katie and Jon! Auntie Meagan is SO excited for the next chapter in your lives!
