I am thrilled to share with you a beautiful first for The Party Wagon- a wedding!  My daughter’s sweet teacher shared her son’s wedding with me and the touching story that goes with it, as the bride’s mom passed away from breast cancer two months before the wedding.  You can see the radiance of the bride as she keeps her focus on her wonderful wedding day while honoring her mother’s memory.  This gorgeous celebration will also be featured on TLC’s  Say Yes to the Dress- Atlanta this fall.

Beautiful bride, Beth, honored her mother’s memory by wearing the wedding veil her mother had worn on her wedding day~

And placed roses in a seat to acknowledge her mother’s presence~

Each member of the wedding party wore a pink ribbon pin, and guests were offered a pin as well…

The wedding was held in the beautiful north Georgia mountains at Lake Burton Club~

The charming little flower girl and ring bearers lead the ceremony…

My daughter’s wonderful teacher- and her newlywed son…

Apple favors with customized tags served as a thank you from the bride and groom- perfectly fitting from the north Georgia mountains!

Such a lovely celebration and a beautiful couple.  In the wedding program, a message from Beth and Thad notes that they dedicated the service to Beth’s mother, “… for providing a shining example of what a devoted wife and mother should be.”.

Sending you both the very best wishes for a wonderful life together!  Thank you for sharing such a special day with us!

GO JUMP IN THE LAKE! BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS~ CAMPING~ FISHING~ WOODLAND

Go Jump in the Lake!  It takes on a new and really fun meaning when you invite some friends to literally jump in the lake with you- over and over and over!  My kids were given a gift of a water bouncer as a joint birthday present this year from their grandmom, and so that became the theme of my son’s birthday party.  We added things that we see at lake a lot- like fox, fish, bugs, and a skunk (there is one that lives in the woods around the lakehouse that is very cute- we just hope we keep it happy!).  Hopefully, you can find some fun and easy birthday party ideas for a similar theme- such as a camping party, fishing party, or woodland animal theme!

LILLY PULITZER CAKE DECORATING FLAMINGO BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS

There is nothing like the bright colors and happy prints of Lilly Pulitzer to make every day feel like a party!  For my daughter’s 12th birthday party, she wanted to decorate cakes~ Lilly-style!  So, in order to decide how to mesh the two, I kept thinking “if Lilly had a cake shop instead of a juice stand”… I have to admit, this was one fun party to plan!  It is a blast to see where ideas go in the hands of a TWEEN!  Enjoy and remember, “…being happy never goes out of style!”. 

LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE PARTY

What began as a simple gesture to introduce my daughter to a wonderful book series has become a special evening ritual for us- reading Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House books!  I must admit, I didn’t realize quite how interesting these books would be to her, but she cannot wait to read all nine in the series.  It was only fitting that her birthday party focus around Little House on the Prairie!  Together, we had a ball planning all of the details of her party that related to the books in some way.  At Camille’s request, we focused on some of her favorite parts of the stories… prairie flowers, covered wagons, tee pees, the colors in the drawings of the books,  and “pretty”…because “Ma” liked things to be pretty!
