Short's Event Style

I cannot believe that I have not made an event related post in so long. So here I go.

For your next event, try doing something other than a floral arrangement. Be original and unique.

I know I have not posted in a while but it is because I am trying to get my new place in order. What do you think so far?

Photo on the left is via edward and jillian| a wedding at the folly - home - lane dittoe fine art wedding photography, back in August.

Photo on the right is from one of my posts back in April, nice to know that I am not along in using unique items for centerpieces. Cool!

I love these chairs. The one on the left, I bought, but the one on the right was free from work. These two chairs go perfectly with my new loft apartment.

Here are some pictures from my cousins Baby Shower that my mom and I hosted and planned. I love making diaper cakes and think the simple clean look matches my cousins esthetic very well.

So I know I have not posted in a while but a lot is going on. I am about to move into this beauty and am getting things ready.

I have also been swamped at work training two new student workers all while having to complete our operational binder. But anyway, I am stoked to be moving to the American Can Building. Check it out: American Can Lofts

So I am about to move into this great old industrial building and I thought a great way to offset the clean industrial lines would be to make this.

These are going to a make great centerpiece for my coffee table.

Remember to think outside the box.

Etsy Hunting:

These would work great for a vintage library inspired event. You could make the invites with them or do something with a napkin ring. The possibilities are limitless.

Like I always say, think outside the norm!

Item provided by Etsy Shop: everyeskimo. Check it out.

I created an Etsy Treasury called “Classic Cream” check it out and remember, sometimes simple can be more memorable than complicated.

These would make a great addition to a Sea Inspired event. I know I always say it, but try to find items that most people would not think of as a “Typical” centerpiece and you will achieve a memorable event.

Etsy Hunting:

I love these vintage seltzer bottles, I think they would make for a unique centerpiece. Try something other than the typical floral arrangement at your next party, wedding, or special event. It will make the event that much more memorable.

I found these on Save-On-Crafts and I really want to try and use them for my next event. If used right, they could turn out really amazing.

What are your thoughts?

So I try not to re-blog a lot of things, but I could not resist this time. What a great cost effective way of creating your own invitations. I will be trying this soon for sure.

Totally cute and organic arts and crafts

So I am changing gears for a second. So my nephew is almost here and I am in charge of my sisters Baby Shower and she mentioned that his room is going to be a forest and I thought, hey that is what the shower should be like.

This is a great piece to hang pictures from at the shower or anything else.
