Bouquets and Bubbly | Sneak Peek

I was going to wait until we got all of the photos back to share details about our Bouquets and Bubbly event last Thursday but they were too good not to go ahead and share; therefore, you get a sneak peek! I can't wait to see the rest but for now, here is a little glimpse into a Galentine's Day party that Kendra Scott (huge thanks to their event manager, Logan!), Zelle, and I planned at one of downtown Raleigh's newest venue's, The Glass Box.  This unique venue was the perfect spot for the occasion and we invited a bunch of local bloggers and other creative business owners from the area to come with a "galentine".

We knew we wanted to include a cute little photobooth for girls and their galentines to have their picture taken. Who better to contact than Stephanie Shives Studio?  Her adorable etsy shop has the most festive and unique lettered balloon options as well as tassels, confetti filled balloons, standard sized balloons and more.  As for my outfit, I went for a ruffled sleeve blush shift dress (under $100!) which I'll definitely be wearing into spring and summer too! 

How cute is Zelle?!  Make sure to follow along on her blog, Southern Style for some fun fashion and one of the kindest people I've ever met.  Zelle and I met about a year and half ago at a FlyBarre class and our friendship has only grown since then.  I loved hosting this event with her and look forward to hosting more in the future! You can shop our outfits below:

The night had a few different activities going on such as a 'Make Your Own Mini Bouquet Bar" thanks to Lindsay from Flowers and Flour, festive manicures provided by Paintbar Nail Bar, cupcakes by an all time favorite of mine, The Cupcake Shoppe, more delicious desserts thanks to Sugar Euphoria, and a fun photobooth decorated with balloons from Stephanie Shives Studio.  

Loved getting to meet Molly & her galentine! 

I couldn't have a galentine's party without one of my besties, Sara.  Love her.

A huge thanks to my friend, Megan Kerns, for photographing the event that night.  I'd highly recommend Megan for any events you might have coming up! She is super talented, professional, and the best at capturing the joyful moments and details of your vision through her clean and crisp photography. Stay tuned for more details of the night to come! 

I hope everyone had the sweetest Valentine's/Galentine's weekend.  I love how Valentine's Day has become such a fun occasion to spend with your girlfriends.
