Bouquets & Bubbly Party

You might have read the sneak peek post of Bouquets and Bubbly, a Galentine's Day event hosted by Kendra Scott, Southern Style, and myself, at The Glass Box in downtown Raleigh last month (how is it already March?!).  Events with Kendra Scott are always so much fun but being able to plan one with them was even better! I've always loved planning parties focused around a specific occasion and what better time to throw a girly soiree than Galentine's Day?! Thank goodness for Megan Kerns Photography who was able to capture the entire night in these gorgeous photos! You'll have to check out the other amazing vendors who helped make the night a success: Flowers and Flour, Paintbar, The Cupcake Shoppe, Sugar Euphoria, and Stephanie Shives Studio. 

Zelle, one of my closest blog friends who used to live in Raleigh, moved to Wilmington a few months ago so it is always such a fun time when we get to see each other! A party that involves flowers, champagne, jewelry and photos, girl time, desserts, and manicures is pretty much the recipe for a ultimate Galentine's celebration. For those of you who aren't familiar with Galentine's Day, please familiarize yourself here with my girl, Leslie Knope. 

The night included a plethora of girly activities, one being a bouquet bar with Flowers and Flour.  Lindsay from Flowers and Flour taught the girls how to make their own mini bouquets and supplied the most gorgeous blooms!  

We also had festive manicures by Paintbar.  Girls who wanted to get their nails done while sipping some bubbly and admiring their cute little bouquets were able to treat themselves to a fresh mani. 

Sugar Euphoria and The Cupcake Shoppe provided the most delicious and adorable desserts including cupcakes, macaroons, and mini dessert shot glasses. I've used The Cupcake Shoppe before for a Bachelorette Weekend and they've always been able to create exactly what I envision with some extremely delicious cupcakes.  

We also had a fun photo area decorated with pink balloons from Stephanie Shives Studio where girls could get their photos taken with their galentines! If you're planning any type of party of event in the future, I'd definitely check out Stephanie Shives Studio.  She has an Etsy shop with a huge selection of balloons for every occasion you can imagine.  

I'm not sure what I'll do for Galentine's Day next year but I thought this year's was a blast! Do any of you all have any fun Galentine's ideas for a party? 

Thanks so much for stopping by! Happy March!
