A lot of you know that I live in the beautiful city of Boston, Massachusetts. But for me, it's Texas that will always feel like home. And when I saw this rehearsal dinner that the fabulous Courtney Caplan designed, I instantly became homesick for the Texas style that I know so well. And really hungry for guacamole. The rehearsal was held at One World Theatre in Austin and... [MORE]

I love it when Beth Helmstetter sends me things. She is such a talent when it comes to picture perfect details, thoughtfully designed spaces and absolutely beautiful events.

Like I said earlier, this rehearsal dinner is all about the chic. Unabashed, luxurious, holy-cow chic. I know that something like this is completely NOT an option for many of you, I love that there are so many elements to find inspiration...the awesome color palette, the pops of zebra print, the perfectly fabulous flowers. I could go on and on! From Jeannie at Details Details, the fabulous firm behind this event.. [MORE]
This rehearsal dinner is almost cooler than any wedding I've ever been to. Designed by the ridiculously talented team at Details Details (remember this wedding?), the event was ALL about the chic.

So, after seeing today's rehearsal dinner (which could just as easily be a kick-butt wedding), I thought it might be fun to put together an inspiration board for a similar fete! Of course, using products that are easily accessible and ideas that would look just as good in your own backyard! Dress by Revolver on Bluefly, Flowers photographed by... [MORE]
I really do love Aaron and Jen Delesie. They are on the short list of my very favorite photographers. And, it seems like everything they send me goes up on the blog...it's just always a no brainer. Aside from the fact that they get to work with designers like Lisa Vorce, they have a style that is all their own, a sense of effortless perfection that I fall in love with time and time... [MORE]
Remember Max and Day's absolutely, ridiculously amazing wedding that we featured a few months back. Aaron Delesie was the photographer behind the day and of course, Lisa Vorce, was the design force. Well, lucky, lucky us. Aaron just emailed me photos from the adorably festive rehearsal... [MORE]
I am completely and totally smitten with this rehearsal dinner that Jose Villa sent me and that Allison Hotchkiss of Alison Events designed to perfection. Plus, they have been sweet enough to divulge all of the pretty details just for us, which makes it even better.

And speaking of great rehearsal dinners, I am head over heels for this Mexican inspired affair that Amy Nichols designed! It's the perfect way to welcome your guest...a few margaritas, some great music and a casual but festive vibe. Love. Love. Love. Timothy Teague shot these perfect photographs and completely captured the spirit and fun of the day. You know... [MORE]
The color palette is what really sold me on this rehearsal dinner that Aaron Delesie sent me. It's the definition of perfection...a subtle teal blue, a washed out orange and a crisp white. Ahhh, it just doesn't get any better! Throw in a few pretty blankets, some adirondack chairs and lovely lanterns and you have the best version of campside elegance. The green, mossy centerpieces are the perfect element of texture against... [MORE]
