Decals on Ghost Chairs... with Elly B

When Eliana of EllyB Events and The B Loft contacts me, I already know the answer is more than likely YES! Not just, "yes" but "YES!"  When I was contacted by her the last several times for decals to use on ghost chairs, I did not even flinch... not just because I LOVE my decals on ghost chairs, but because her vision is amazing and her eye for detail is top of the line.

Last year I was asked to make a few name decals in gold for ghost chairs... this was to be my first time someone requested them in gold for the ghost chairs so I was very excited to see how they were to turn out.  I had no idea they would be this stunning... although with Eliana, I should not have expected anything less.

 

They didn't have names to use since it was a shoot so I got to select them.  My daughter's name was my first choice.

 

And the icing on the cake... The shoot was featured in Oh Brides Magazine!!

{Inspiration Board} A Chic County Love Affair

Last summer I had the honor of participating in a photo shoot by Christy Whitehead Photography of Northeast Florida.  I got to work with Southern Charm Events, Kakes By Katie, A Fantasy in Flowers and The Keeler Property.  It was a great experience to see the behind the scenes of a styled photo shoot AND I got to put together my first table scape (well two of my first table scapes).

Here is the first table scape I styled. This is my, Black and White with Lime all over design.  I love black and white with pops of bright color, so I decided to go with lime for my first since it is part of my branding color palette. 

For the black accents, I decided to throw in some chalkboard decor from my new collection.  The charger plates are completely chalkboard so they are a lot of fun to write messages on.  You could also use them as seating markers by adding a person's name to them.

The wine glasses have a stylish chalkboard label on them... also great to use as a seating marker.

The vases with the custom monogram decals make for a great detail piece and best of all, they can easily be used in the home after the wedding or event they are being used for.  If you didn't want to keep the monogram decals on there, you could always peel them right off.  Just another reason why decal is so great... you can easily peel off and resale items or even rent items and remove them before you return them.  Easy Peasy!

Overall it was a great day, at a great venue with great vendors... couldn't have asked for anything better for my first on the scene photo shoot.

Stay tuned for more coming soon...

{Vendor Feature} JAX Couture Events

A few months ago, I had the pleasure to meet Hilda of JAX Couture Events.  She contacted me for a custom logo decal for her new venue located in the Riverside area of Jacksonville, Florida.  JAX Couture Events is an event planning company specializing in event decor for package and custom parties and events... with some NEW excited things coming soon!

Her venue is a two story "home" with each room accessible for the events including a kitchen, dining area, buffet area, living room, photo studio and two other rooms.  It is located near the center of Jacksonville which makes it easy to get to from all sides of town. The venue is PERFECT for children's parties, a ladies night out get-to-together (which she just hosted last night), brunch, bridal and baby showers and so many other events. JAX Couture Events offers much more than I can mention so be sure to visit their Facebook page for current events and news.  

In the beginning, talking to her about some of her future project ideas really peeked my interest.  I remember thinking to myself, "this lady is going to be a lot of FUN to work with."  Brainstorming with Hilda is great... she is very smart and creative. The more I get to work with her on projects, the more excited I get to see what will come next... and the more I get to know her, the more blessed I have felt to have such awesome people in my life.

{Stationery Design} All about bubbles...

Last year, we had the privilege to work with another client of Tanya Hendricks from Southern Charm Events... Andrea and David.  Andrea found a style of wedding stationery she really like, that she just wanted tweaked a bit.  The stationery company could not make those changes for her so Tanya, brought her to me. 

I was able to redesign the wedding stationary to her exact request and one of our recommended vendors, Beth of Forever Friends had the stationery printed and provided beautiful pocket folds. 

I even created coordinating Save the Date magnets for the couple. 

Ten23 Designs, strives to make each our clients happy by bringing the ideas they have to life. 

Ten23 Designs ONE Year Anniversary

This Saturday, October 23rd, Ten23 Designs celebrated it's ONE year anniversary... or as I called it, our 1st birthday.  Ten23 stands for October (10th month) 23rd. This is a special date for me, as it is my birthday.

I was touched to have some of my vendor friends donate special goodies for my BIG DAY personalized with my logo on it.

Cherin from Customized Wedding Creations hand painted a runner for me that I turned into a pillow.  I totally LOVE it.  It now sits on my office chair and gives me support throughout my work day, just like Cherin does.

Dorinda of Favors by Dorinda made the CUTEST lollipops and mini chocolate bars with my logo on it. I was almost sad to see people leave with them but hey... that's what favors are for.  Luckily, I was able to nab a few for myself as a keepsake.  Of course I will have to eat the chocolate but will keep the wrapper.

Marni the Cardbox Diva, owner of Creative Custom Cardboxes hooked me up with a bling bling cardbox, complete with logo face plate. This will get plenty of use next year as I join the expo, and event show circuit.  It will be great to hold giveaway entries at my booth.

Angie of S & A Events made the tastiest treats... an apple puff tart and an asiago, pepperoni & basil puff pastry... oh YUM!!! The apple puff tarts were gone so quickly with requests for more. I am glad I was able to try one before they were gone. 





Angie also created the BEAUTIFUL floral centerpieces that were created with flowers my logo color with touches of orange & blue... because everything should have a touch of GATOR in it!

I was happy to also have the privilege to display a handcrafted ring bearer pillow made by Victoria Joanne of HCC Hand Crafted Creations as a collaboration project we did together, an invitation sample from Beth of Forever Friends, also as a collaboration project we did together and was able to get the word out about Shop to Stop Slavery, a company owned by a friend that helps educate consumers on modern day slave labor.

The ONE year celebration was a success... filled with family and friends.

Thank you to all who participated and all who sent their well wishes... I am looking forward to a productive year TWO!
