Lighting

Lighting is a very important element to any event. It sets the mood for the type of event and is great to be able to transform a blank space into an ordinary setting. Lighting is so diverse and offers style and great design element to any event. Here are some amazing lighting at the Brawley House Barn.

Great Bridesmaid's Gift

Looking for a nice and different gift to give your bridesmaids? Well, I found this artist that makes gorgeous jewelry on etsy.com. Check out her collection and you might even find something for you. http://www.etsy.com/shop/MuroJewelry

Happy shopping!

Some images of her work. I love the blue necklace for myself and the matching earrings.

DIY Project!!

To all those DIY Brides: We did our own project this past month. We were looking for a Cake stand with crystals and was surfing the internet. And yes we did find one that we really like, but we were  not willing to pay over $150.00 plus shipping. So we decided to do our own. It does take some time, but just love the finish product.


Here was our inspiration:

Our Supplies: 
We found the 13" cake stand good at our local old Home Goods store and bought the crystals online. Also used super glue:

It took us about 3 days to complete. We would do it for 30 - 1 hour a day. So estimated time about 2 1/2 hours.
Cost: $60.00 






Here is the finish product:

The Brawley House at the Charlotte Bridal Show

It was a rainy Sunday at the Charlotte Bridal Show. But we still had a blast setting up and decorating our booth! Had a great time meeting so many brides and seeing some old faces of vendors in the industry and meeting some new ones. 
See our set-up, mostly everyone loved our decor and especially our Pinwheel Taffeta Linens.

White, Burlap and Bling

A Simple white linen table cloth can look just great with some details. In our design for this month we added a natural burlap runner and burlap napkins for a rustic look. Used some tall white pillar candles and decorated the cylinders with vintage pins. We found these gorgeous crystal votive candles and just had to use them for our Table Design. The simple baby's breath flowers keep the design simple, but sweet.

The Head Table gets all the decor. Two sets of tall white pillar candles, Bride & Groom Rustic signs. Burlap runner, napkins and sashes. Added with some bling from the crystal candle holders.

And top it off with a simple but yet elegant baby's breath floral centerpiece!

The guest tables can have either two pillar candles, and one crystal candle holder.

Or a simple baby's breath floral centerpiece with some crystal votive candles can set the mood just right!
