Hi Guys...thanks so much for stopping by the cafe...I've been MIA and I'm so sorry...it's been SO busy for me this year...I've taken on a few more weddings than usual (and I'm loving it) and I got promoted at the full-time job and you know that means extra responsibilities....so between the full-time job, weddings, meeting with clients and The Bride's Cafe, well, there are just so many hours in the day and I have to carve out a little time for the family...OMG..I'm exhausted just writing this!

I will always find time for beautiful flowers..they make me happy and they always bring a calmness into my life...a few weeks ago, I got together with my beautiful friend Courtney of Merriment Events and Chrissy and Sara of Sweet Spot Candy...together we collobrated on a vibrant color palette inspirtation of pink, orange and yellow for the Artful Wedding event....we were so excited to be a part of the event and so excited to meet the guest speaker, Abby of Style Me Pretty...she is such a sweetheart and it was so much fun chatting with Abby and her husband....they are truly two of the nicest people....such a joy meeting them!!

Now let's check out all the pretty inspiration captured by Jodi and Kurt of Jodi Miller Photography...love them..they ROCK y'all....Enjoy!!

Hi Guys...at the suggestion of the cafe's newest team member, Stephanie, Social Media Strategist, we are starting a new feature at the cafe today...."Throw-Back Thursdays"...we'll take a trip down "memory lane" and share a few of our favorite moments from the past at the cafe!  We are starting the series off with a beautiful fashion piece we did back in 2010...truly one of my faves and I hope it becomes one of yours....Enjoy and thanks Steph for the fun suggestion!!...xoxo

I'm so excited to share this "Vintage Inspired" photo shoot with you...and the inspiration for this shoot are the gorgeous "Vintage Style" Whirlingturban dresses by Katherine Robinson.  Katherine is truly an AMAZING designer...her designs are for the true "vintage clothing enthusiasts".  Katherine sent over two of her gorgeous designs for the shoot.....working on the shoot was my beautiful friend and talented stylist, Courtney Spencer of Merriment Events.....my girl and oh-so-fabulous makeup artist, Erika Nixon! 

Capturing all the beauty and fun, my friends and AMAZNG photgraphers, Kelly and Ryan Portnoy of Kellan Studios...and our beautiful models Lydia and Sara, who braved the cold for us in order to get the outdoor shots and me, JMFlora Design.  

We all wanted the shoot to be fun and focus on the beauty of the dresses....we used the perfect  accessories......vintage hat boxes, pill box hats, a couple of pretty bouquets and Courtney had a copy of LOOK Magazine...how cool was that!  We had a fun day...and the dresses are just so beautiful...I love them!!
