Preston’s Birthday Carousel CarnivalIt is a rare occasion that I get to be in New England for one of my niece’s or nephew’s birthday parties and I was so excited to have been able to celebrate with Preston James on his second birthday. Preston LOVES the carousel so it was only fitting that we throw him and all of his two year old buddies a Birthday Carousel Carnival at the oldest Loof Carousel in the World! I am certain that fact meant a lot to Preston… While our birthday boy spent all of his time on the 90 mph carousel (at least that is what it felt like to me!) some of his friends enjoyed face painting and balloon ...

{wedding} Preston & JessicaJessica and Preston booked me for their wedding in the fall of 2009, so I have been looking forward to this wedding for over a year. She told me their wedding would be in a garden and I knew it would be beautiful in October. I was right! They were married on October 23 in Dunaway Gardens which is truly a secret garden tucked away near Newnan, GA. My wonderful mother came with me as my assistant for the day and we immediately fell in love with the location. I had a hard time choosing favorites to share so you will see quite a few here. The location was stunning but the details wer...

Preston Bailey Wedding InvitationsPreston Bailey has recently teamed up with Invitation Consultants to create a line of exquisite invitations that "brings Preston Bailey's lavish and sophisticated designs to paper in an affordable way". Well, so the site says . . . but, to be honest, I'm not sure that $149/$199 for 25 invitations (excluding reply, response and thank you cards) can be called all that affordable for the average buyer. While I think there is a nice layout of the typography on the invitations {although nothing spectacular}, I'm not as fond of the floral graphics on them. These invitations seem a little too busy an...
