Paris, Je t’aime : Nonpareil Magazine

We were recently asked to participate in a very fun photo shoot with a super girly Paris theme.  And who says no to that?  This shoot was designed, produced and photographed by Maribeth of Red Ribbon Studio.  You might remember her amazing talent from the ultra colorful Sweets photo shoot we posted a few months back.

We used this Miss Dior Cherie ad directed by Sofia Coppola as inspiration for the latest shoot.  The catchy little tune was stuck in my head for weeks!  The pictures were published in NonPariel Magazine and I've posted the feature below, enjoy!

Thanks to the many fabulous vendors that participated!

Etiquette Class with Paperista - Recap

Paperista's Etiquette Class for Brides proved to be perfectly sophisticated and very educational.  I not only got to provide the yummy desserts but also got to attend.

Semple Mansion looked beautiful as always and had several wedding vendors add to the "classroom" decor.  The etiquette expert, Angelyn Davis, was incredibly polished and a great instructor.  I learned everything from proper table manners to a more refined way to word invitations, thank you cards, and even address envelopes.

Thanks to Paperista for hosting the fun and informative class!
