If you know me at all you will know that the 4th of July is my favorite holiday. I love everything about it, I love that we celebrate our country that I'm so proud to live in, I love that family and friends get together to BBQ in their backyards all over the US, I love the parades, the fireworks, and most of all celebrating our country AMERICAN style.  I wanted to put together a inspiration board of some 4th of July wedding or party ideas, I love the cupcakes, if only I could master baking at high elevations I would for sure be making those this 4th of July season. 

I hope everyone has a great 4th and remember the reason we celebrate, we celebrate our country, our freedom, and our troops this fine 4th of July. So maybe next year why not celebrate with a big party or perhaps celebrate by getting married=-) I hope everyone is safe and most of all that your 4th is filled with lots of fireworks and fun!

Invitations and LLC's

Today, I decided to take a look at invitations, I love the bottom one, cocktails and cupcakes, such a great invitation. All three are from polkadotdesigns.com they have great stuff. 

Great news, it's almost official, I filed for my LLC in Washington today! I'm so excited I'm also getting going on my website and have two people working on my logos.  It ended up coming together faster than I thought, but hey being a business owner you have the hit the ground running (however for me I feel as though it has been a sprint).  All in all life is good, no actually it's great. Have a great Friday!

Weekend Progress

How cute are these, margarita party favors, with the bride and grooms name. I think this is a super fun idea, especially for that summer wedding, or just a summer event. I found theses at http://www.favoraffair.com/ they had so many other great party favors and ideas. Now on another note....

I had a great weekend at home in the Tri-Cities, I met with two wonderful photographers, whom helped share the ins and outs of the bridal business. Needless to say I have alot of doors to knock on to meet the whole bridal gang=-)  Check out their website at http://www.breshearsphoto.com/

I also spent the weekend at Tagaris Winery, of coarse that is my dream venue, I had two wonderful nights of wine, music, and friends. I'm really looking forward to being home and getting started on my business. Perfectly Peared Events=-)

Big City Events

Here are some photos I found courtesy of the Knot. I love looking at big city weddings, they tend to take place later in the evening, and involve dramatic lighting.  However, just because you live in eastern Washington doesn't mean that you can't achieve this same look for your event or wedding.

Rustic Winery Wedding

Winery and vineyard weddings in the Northwest are very common, therefore I thought I'd put together some pictures to give you ideas on how to spice up your winery wedding. Check more of these photos out at projectwedding.com. Next post I promise to start exploring city weddings.

Here is a country inspired wedding, I just love the place cards made with the wine corks (Ashley possible idea for your wedding). I just love the lace dress and how it looks with the rustic barn setting.

Names and Ideas!

Fringe Studio Frame - Morning

Today I went to a starting your own business workshop, it was very interesting and I learned more than I needed to probably know.

It seems as though I need to figure out my company name sooner than I thought. Which has been the hardest thing thus far on this journey. With help from my family and friends I've come down to a short list of names. Here they are....

Bluebird Events

Just As Planned Events

Crisp! Events

Above is a photo of one of my favorite things on this planet.... anything designed by the company fringe! I love this frame and the designs on the frame, I would love to incorporate a design as seen above into my business cards!

I wanted my first blog post to show everyone a bit of what I consider is my style. I like bright colors, unique designs, and I love paying attention to the little details. This is a orange inspiration board, orange is my favorite color this summer and I think you can do some pretty awesome things with a orange color scheme at any wedding or party.
