I subscribe to Google Web Alerts. It's an easy way to stay up to date on certain topics and google sends me an email anytime it finds my designated word or phrase out in internet land. WELL. My designated name is.. my name! haha. So anytime I'm mentioned anywhere out there in internet land, google lets me know! It's so great! ANYWAYS. I got an alert in my inbox that stylemepretty.com had mentioned my name. WHAT? This has to be an internet goof up! BUT NO! I quickly went to stylemepretty.com and there were my photos! How I love that website and to see dozens of my photos on there was just such a great feeling! I am so happy that Jenny is such a great and creative designer! We make such a great team!

So let me catch you up on Jenny Steffens of The Bliss List and Occasions ( http://www.occasionskc.com/index.html )and our morning of creativeness overload!

I woke up early one brisk morning to meet Jenny at her beautiful home nestled in the heart of Fairway, KS. She greeted me and began to show me all of her ideas and pieces that would soon come together to create a most beautiful fall table setting! I was sooo excited to start!

We hit it off instantly! Jenny was so open and overflowing with creativity! It was truly an inspiring morning! She worked so FAST and made everything seem so easy... Honestly, who makes a beautiful bouquet in 5 minutes flat?! After moving our table around her yard two or three times, I finally decided on an open area near a few fall trees! It was perfect!

Check out some of these photos from our super fun morning!

Enjoy the eye candy!

Jenny is amazing. I love these yellow and pink roses!
Love the idea of using wheat as a coller for the bouquet! This would work great for a fall inspired wedding bouquet!
The finishing touches on the bouquet.
Jenny used mini white pumpkins as placecard holders for our fall inspired table spread! What a great idea! She spraypainted them in a shimmery creamy cold color! LOVE!
The finished look of the placecard holders! Jenny snipped the stems and inserted the name cards which were printed on texturized cardstock. What simple yet beautiful idea!
Natasha's Mullberry and Mott ( http://www.natashagoellner.com/ ) designed the amazing beehive cake for the table!
Check out some of the other elements used to tie in our fall theme! Simple yet special...
The finished place setting!
These bud vases work as an inexpensive way to add an element of PRETTY!
I love how she used a burlap table runner and the classic blue and white stripe!
An easy way to bring a look together and add a personal touch: use a matching pillow! This could work for seat at a reception, ceremony, or for the cocktail reception at a wedding too!
Here is a full view of the the fall inspired table setting!
And these creamy golden and soft pink roses are to die for! Jenny used the same burlap from the table runner to wrap the bouquet. Then elegant pearl pins give it that "put together" look. I love classy mixed with rustic. This bouquet would be so beautiful in a chic vintage wedding! So PRETTY!
And how could I forget Jenny's adorable baby, Darcy? Just adorable!
Jenny, your are a beautiful person inside and out! I had such a fun day working with you! And how exciting to be featured on Style Me Pretty? Yay!!! I'm looking forward to more projects to come! Thanks for letting me capture your AMAZINGLY creative designs! Stay fabulous!
