When your friends come to you and say, “Randi, you can be as creative as you want with our wedding cake.  We trust you!”, you know that you have to bring your A-game.  Then when you find out that the invitations actually have the same artwork as one of the most talked about Hip-Hop albums […]

I like to think of myself as a pretty awesome sister, and I’m sure that  my baby brother would generally agree with that statement depending on whether I’ve lovingly lectured him that day or not.  However, I think that Claire of Orangerie Events should win Best Sister in Life award for helping to organize a […]

As 1st Birthday parties go, Miss Scarlett may have had the coolest one ever.  Her mom, the lovely Lexi of Glitter, Inc. threw a Bohemian-inspired bash for this little cutie and it was nothing short of amazing!  I’m smitten with all of the details, from the Scarlett’s cute little outfit to the teepee to the […]

Last weekend, one of my earliest couples celebrated their one year anniversary.  Their wedding was really special to me for a number of reasons.  1).  Melissa was so bubbly and likeable during our initial consultation!  From the moment I met her, I knew that I wanted to create the cake for her and Ian’s special […]

I have a confession, guys.  I’ve never been to the Appalachian Mountains and I’ve lived in North Carolina for nine years.  It’s been on my  bucket list for such a long time, but Jeff and I have never made it Asheville.  Maybe we’ll make a trip next spring once Baby Smith makes his or her […]

Classic and Southern.  Glamorous and Elegant.

But the idea of hosting a perfectly executed themed bridal luncheon is and our hope is that this […]

I’m not usually a sucker for sappy, romance movies.  The only romantic film that made me shed a tear was The Notebook and I definitely have no desire to watch it again.  I’m more of an action girl myself.  I mean, my favorite TV show of all time is Game of Thrones (I was hooked from […]

Happy Thursday, everyone!  Or should I say, “Happy #TBT”?

I realized that I never shared these gorgeous images from a styled shoot that was featured on Style Me Pretty a few months ago.  This was my first styled shoot and it’s so amazing to see how my personal decorating style has evolved over the years.  I still love incorporating metallics and bright colors in my designs!

Summer will be here before you know it!  You might be thinking, “Randi, you’re a little early aren’t you?” and to that I say, “No!”  I’m already counting down the days to slop flops, sun dresses, longer days, and fireflies. This premature excitement about summer is probably due to the fact that I just got […]
