j & b engagement party

On Saturday, January 18, Tim and I traveled to my hometown in Ohio for my sister and her fiancé, Bassey’s, engagement party. My parents and I threw the party and we all truly appreciated everyone who traveled – esp. those that came far (in lots of snow and wind) to come celebrate. Most of the decor was either from around my house or from etsy. Everyone was so caring and kind about the decor- thank you. 🙂 I loved doing it.  However, the night was all about their love and about meeting & celebrating with everyone … and celebrate we did!! I loved meeting all of Bassey’s family and friends 🙂 All so nice, fun, and loving. Here are some photos (mainly of the decor) … once the party started, I really wanted to enjoy the evening! Thank you mom and dad for allowing me to turn your Ohio State themed basement into a little piece of Paris. xo 

Can’t wait for 10.11.14 

the invites were designed by Meg Alyce of MegCreativeDesign
(ironically, we discovered that we grew up about 25 min a part) 
but she did an amazing/job was great to work with – so, so sweet!!

    Looks amazing! I think I've said this before, but you have a career in event planning if you get tired of teaching…for real.
