I just got the photos from the super talented Haley Sheffield from the Search for Your Awesome event with the Alison Show and Bing.  It was such a fun night, and it came together so well, and I'm excited to share the photos - hope you are ready for lots of them!

The party was held at Amy Osaba's gorgeous studio, and Meredith made the most gorgeous flower arrangements.  Seriously, they were just breathtaking!

I co-hosted with Anna, Jamie, and of course, Alison, and it was really fun getting to work with all of them.  It's amazing what you can do when you have a team to work with - I loved getting to collaborate.

We went for sort of a tropical/travel/paradise feel, so we pulled in some vintage paradise items, like those mid century candle holders, and my favorite, this gorgeous vintage macrame chandelier.  The ends are dipped in pink dye to freshen it up a bit.

I also printed some vintage postcards really large and added song lyrics and other fun quotes in vinyl.  So fun!

I mean, those flowers!!  Meredith, you are amazing!

These white burlap banners were dip dyed, and then I used heat transfer gold vinyl for the letters and hung them on wood dowels.  They were a really fun punch of color on the brick walls.

Jamie and Jason of Homespun did an incredible job with the food.  Not only was it incredibly tasty, but it was incredibly beautiful, too.  Can't say enough good things about them.  (They did the birthday dinner for my parents a couple of months ago - you have to try them if you are in the Atlanta area!)

Those pickled beets were to die for.  I think I probably ate about 30.  And they are so gorgeous, too!

We had some King of Pops for a sweet treat.  I can't ever get enough of those - especially the chocolate sea salt.

Sweet Krista of Blue Eyed Yonder provided the furniture rentals - I wanted to take that pink glider home!!  She is the best.  That cute umbrella is from Urban Outfitters - and it's on sale right now!

Those pink and purple pillows are made from some vintage fabric, and that cute leaf fabric is from Lewis & Sheron - it's outdoor fabric, and it's only $10/yard.  That pink pom pom trim is the perfect accent, I think!

Alison is so fun - she is such a positive, cheerful person who has a gift for encouraging others.  And of course, Anna is the sweetest!  I have been so excited to get to know some other Atlanta creatives here lately.  (I honestly think I'm delirious at this point.  I might have stayed up a bit too late the night before working on a few details . . . )

Thanks so much to Bing and Alison for letting me be a part of such a fun night!  It was a treat to get to throw a party and have some of my favorite people there to spend time with - including Lesley, Kristin, Meghan, and more!!  Y'all are the best.  And awesome, too.  And extra thanks to Haley for the gorgeous photos!
