There are times in life when things line up.  When what's meant to be is.  When magic happens.  My sisters' bachelorette party was one of these times.  There were times during her planning where I had to put a lot of thought into things: writing a toast for the reception, how was I going to be a maid-of-honor AND wedding coordinator, if I should get chicken or fish, but choosing a theme for her bachelorette party was not one of those times.  Hence, Saradashian's Last Stand was born.

katie & jeff: rock & roll

Katie & Jeff were married at the Hard Rock Hotel on Michigan Avenue on 9.10.11.  A fantastic date to get married and even more special because while they celebrated their wedding weekend, Katie's parents celebrated their wedding anniversary too!  It was so sweet!  I am particularly tied to this crew as I had the pleasure of helping Katie's sister Elizabeth with her wedding to Mike last year.  It was so fun to see the whole family again!

melissa and pete's vintage vineyard wedding

Melissa and Pete were married in June at a vineyard in Michigan.  They live in Chicago and wanted to have a mini-destination for their friends and family that were coming from all over the country.  Melissa is a graphic designer and spent so much time on the paper and graphic elements of the day which were amazing.  Melissa got ready in the bridal cottage with her mom and two bridesmaids and got a lift to the top of the aisle in a rolls royce.

sugar and spice bridal shower

Last weekend I headed out on the road again to put together a bridal shower for one of my dear friends, Melissa.  We hosted it at Amy's house and ran with a sugar and spice theme.  Melissa's wedding colors are red and pink so we used those along with some teal to create a lot of sweetness.  I made the invites and it's sort of where the theme began. I drew three kitchen canisters labeled sugar, spice and nice so when you opened the envelope, this is what you saw:

ae style

I got invited to attend an event at Willow Creek Church in Barrington this past weekend. Three times a year they host "Once Upon a Wedding" and invite couples who have reserved a date to get married at the church or who are thinking about getting married there to attend. They pull out all of the decorations they have available and have their volunteer wedding coordinators there to answer questions and show them around. I made a few things to give to the couples to go along with my business cards. I think they are great. I hope you do to.

(a little "brochure" that has information on all of the packages AE offers)


kisses

(i made stickers for the bottom of a bunch of hershey's kisses and then tied them up in bags)


all

(the whole pile of happy little goodies waiting to be taken to their new homes)

These could easily be turned into awesome wedding programs and favors I think! Want me to make them for you? I am hoping 2010 will bring more "AE style" clients and I'll get to do boat-loads of crafting!

i heart this

Saw this today and I love it. Anything travel/map inspired is right up my alley. This would likely be something you could recreate on your own with a family cookie recipe, a stencil of the globe and gobs of patience.

Who doesn't love an edible favor? No one I know. If you decide to make them and need a taste-tester, I'm your girl!
