I am a Pennsylvania born girl living in North Carolina and loving all things Southern. I am so close to using y'all on a daily basis. I have been planning events for 10 years and fell head over heels in love with Weddings 5 years ago. I love all things fashion, colorful, design, and of course weddings!

I was so thrilled when I was asked to hep plan this surprise bridal shower for the Southern Weddings Creative Director, Emily Ayer. What a fun event to plan! Nicole with SW gave me some insight into what Emily loved, miniqature things included! Heidi Werner, Director of Catering of The Carolina Inn created this beyond delicious menu, Cyn Kain was there to capture all of these gorgeous images, and Amber of Amber Housley created these adorable mini invitations! I had so much fun choosing the linens and goodies for this shower!
Emily was totally surprised!

What a fun day!!! Congratulations Miss Emily! I am so glad to know you!

Happy DIY Friday! Yesterday I had the complete pleasure to plan a bridal shower for the sweet Emily Ayer from Southern Weddings Magazine (more to come soon) at the fantastic Carolina Inn. Emily loves mini things, so I thought I would DIY some mini cupcake stands!
All you need is:
- Wooden candle holder
-Wood plaque
-Spray Paint
-Wood Glue
-Butter Knife
-Sandpaper
You will need to remove the metal center in the candle. Then add a medium coat of wood glue.
Attach and voila!
Of course you can use them for mini cupcakes and more! Kristin is using her for a soap holder!
