Pretty in Purple

I love monochromatic color schemes. There are so many to decorate with other color combinations or themes anyway but, in my opinion, monochromatic color schemes are the best because its one color but a variety of hues to choose from.

As you can tell from the pictures the color requested for the birthday dinner was purple with touches of gray and sparkle.

The centerpiece for the main table was fun to make. I opted for faux flowers because of their variety of colors and availability. I found purple feathers, plumes, flexible wire that I curled, and flowers with pearls and broaches for their centers. And added the crystal that's hanging for a lil glamour.

Tulle pinned with vintage broaches on the ends and sprinkled with small paper flowers were used as runners. Cylinder glass vases wrapped in dark grey glittered paper with "diamond" embellishments topped with hydrangeas on glass candle plates were the centerpieces for the other tables.

More pics to come.

Hollywood Sweet 16!

I love any party theme but the Hollywood theme gets a little more love because you can be as glamorous as you want.  I was tasked with making the rep carpet stanchions and "velvet" ropes and a mini step repeat background for a Sweet 16.                        For the stanchions : concrete, small pie pans for the molds, PCV pipe, caps and sleeves (they might not be called that but you get the point), glitter tape, glitter sealer (it is a must trust me), 7/8" gold cup hooks and a drill to make the holes. For the "velvet" ropes : installation tubes, fleece fabric, red ribbon, and plenty of hot glue 😉

Sleeping On Clouds (Baby Photography)

There is nothing sweeter or more angelic than a sleeping baby. When my son was a baby I could stare at him for the longest time just admiring his little features and waiting for him to smile on his sleep. Little Miss A'Niya Mecole inspired me to make this scene to photograph her sleeping so angelically. I used her changing table and most materials were purchased from my favorite store  Hobby Lobby : the sky background (bulletin paper), fabrics, flowers, and clouds (pillow stuffing).

Beach Theme Wedding Reception

The lovely Mr. & Mrs. Morgan went the destination wedding route and recited their vows on a beautiful sandy beach in Mexico. Then decided to bring the beach (theme) back to the great state of Texas to celebrate with family and friends.  For this beach inspired reception we went with teal, seashells, pearls, candles, burlap and sand decor with shimmery accents.  One of the highlights of the decor was this fabulous gold sequin backdrop with a teal curtain that everyone struck a pose in front of. The beach sand trays, vellum and sequins lampshades, fishing net wrapped mason jars, and hand painted and glittered shells decor were all custom made (by The CGD studio of course). Material list: Sequins Mesh Fabric - Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Store Rosebud Embroidered Mesh Fabric- Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Store Teal and Gold Nylon Tulle Fabric- Alforal
