Real Raven J. Event: Sydney's Sip and See

Hi everyone!  Things have been pretty busy around here, but I am excited to share pics from a recent event I planned.  You're probably wondering, what exactly is a Sip and See?  A Sip and See is a southern tradition where parents welcome friends and family into their home to meet their new baby.  Similar to a shower, except the Sip and See takes place after the baby is born.  For my client's Sip and See, we chose a pink and gold color scheme.  There were several "Sips" for the guests to enjoy including pink lemonade, sherbet punch and my favorite, a bubbly bar featuring mango, orange and cranberry mimosas.  The guests nibbled on heavy hors d'oeuvres and spent the rest of the day doting on baby Sydney!  It was such a joy to help this couple plan their first baby's sip and see.  I hope you enjoy some of the detail pictures below.

Happy Planning!

Fashion Friday: Something Blue

Say it with me. Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue!  Yes, we all know this bridal tradition.  The good thing is that today's brides have an array of options to choose from, especially when deciding on something blue. I've listed 5 non-traditional ways to incorporate something blue into your wedding day.

1.  An elegant pair of blue earrings will add just the right pop of color.

2.  Colored bridal shoes are a huge trend, so try a royal blue pair instead of white.

3. Keep it simple with an aqua blue diamond necklace.
