I have had the pleasure of knowing Karen Langsten and Coleen Smith, the two business women behind the new Savannah company Savannah Plush ,for some time. They hired me on as a development and business consultant for their venture and I was happy to be a part of it. I refered them to friends and fellow business people that could help get things rolling and boy oh boy did they. Special thanks to Low Country Press for the beautiful graphic design, Paragon for their web design and programing support and to George Gill of Blue Door Photography for his beautiful photography. Most of all, thank you Karen and Coleen for trusting me with the art direction and photo styling for your new brand. I can’t wait to see where this all takes us!

flattered and excited to have Scottee and Jim’s wedding featured on weddings unveiled blog!
Real Wedding ~ Scottee and Jim
Scottee and Jim chose Savannah, GA for their intimate Southern soiree filled with beautiful vintage details and designed in rich color palette by event designer Elizabeth Demos. Photographer Donna Von Bruening of DVB Photographers was on hand to capture the day. Scottee looked gorgeous in her chic Carolina Herrera gown with fitted bodice and bubbled tier skirt tied with black and ivory striped ribbon. She wore her hair up with braids pulling her dark locks away from her face and adding a pretty pair of crystal beaded earrings, while Jim kept it simple in a classic fitted black suit and tie with vintage inspired boutonniere made of pheasant, black and Bordeaux colored feathers. Situated in the English-inspired parterre garden of the historic Owen-Thomas House close family and friends gathered for the intimate ceremony. Arrangements of white and yellow blooms decorated the space and set on the table where a quaint little seating area with iron benches was nestled in the gardens. Scottee and Jim exchanged vows flanked by two trees and in front of the small reflecting fountain situated in the center of the gardens.
After a few celebratory drinks of Kentucky bourbon served out of vintage silver rimmed glassware the celebration continued at The Olde Pink House for the dinner reception. Savannah’s only 18th century mansion provided the perfect venue for the couple’s decadent reception of elegant Southern cuisine. The rich event palette and vintage details of the reception worked seamlessly with the already preexisting decor of The Old Pink House. Guest tables were situated around the room and set by the fireplace where tall gold fluted vases held heart shaped wreaths made from small white blooms and vines. A variety of rich purple linens dressed the tables accented with gold chivari chairs. Scottee and Jim’s table featured a beautiful lilac embroidered and eyelet base linen set with a deep aubergine velvet overlay trimmed in gold embroidery and tassels. Florist Harvey Designs created stunning centerpieces of mixed white and purple blooms ranging from a light wisteria hue to dark indigo all set in vintage gold vessels on antique mirror trays. Aged mercury votives adorned the tabletops adding a warm glow to the intimate dinner reception. Don’t miss a single detail of Scottee and Jim’s historic Savannah wedding, including the couple’s unique display of old family photos.

In the styling world Matthew Mead is a super star and I was honored to be asked to contribute to his spectacular new magazine Holiday. I’ve been anxiously awaiting my issue in the mail and it came today. Matthew included it in a package that held the table top crepe paper Christmas trees I created for the Yule Blog feature. I was so excited to see the magazine I forgot to unpack my trees (if you have a copy they are on page 9, number 11). They are still in my studio and the magazine sits here in my lap with many, many pages marked with post it notes.
There is also a fantastic review on fellow contributor, Debbie Dusenberry’s blog.
Holiday with Matthew Mead is sold only via his website. visit here to get yours today
cookbook release
October 2nd, 2010 — 4:12pm
This week marks the launch of Martha Nesbit’s cookbook Savannah Celebrations. I was honored Martha selected me as the photo stylist on this project (my first cookbook ever). It is always nice to see the final product after all the hours of work, schlepping and countless lists become a distant memory. These are some of my favorite pictures from the project. More often than not publishers select images that are my least favorite, but I’m no publisher I’m just a girl that loves to make pretty pictures.
special thanks to Janice Shay and Erin Adams
