As I shared earlier in the week, I have a bit of a passion for architecture. So when I tell you that I am obsessed with Julieanne and Bryce’s wedding, you’ll understand why. Held at Lost Mission outside of Austin, they started the day with an absolutely stunning backdrop. Add in bursts of cheerful color and …
Looking back on 2012 and thinking about 2013 stretching before us, one of the things I’ve really missed in recent months is sharing a little bit more about the girl behind this here blog. (Uh, that’d be me.) I founded The Sweetest Occasion back in 2008 and since then, life has changed so much. For …
Hi, friends, and happiest Monday morning to you! I hope you had a really lovely weekend. Mine was, as predicted, crazy boring by most people’s standards I’m sure, but we had the warmest weather the last few days and it has been so so nice. Which very likely explains why I was feeling particularly like …
Happy Friday, friends! How was everyone’s first full week back in the swing of things? I have to be honest, mine was completely and utterly mind boggling. I wish I could tell you all about it and I hate being one of those bloggers that’s all, “Amazing things happened this week and I want to …
We haven’t had a Pretty Little Things since before the holidays, so let’s talk about the pretty, shall we? Lately, I am in major nesting mode. All I want to do is make every inch of the apartment look cozy and inviting. Maybe it’s a winter thing? I’m thinking it probably is. However you slice …
Now that the holidays are fading into distant memory, it really feels like winter around here. As in, yes, I really wish spring were going to be here soon. But I’m a realistic kind of girl and I know we’ve got at least three more months of cold chills and winter doldrums here in upstate …
Lately I’ve really been loving gorgeous table settings, in particular those that boast stunning golden details. There is just something so timeless and glamorous about gold flatware and gold-dipped glasses, don’t you think? What I love about this look is that it can go completely glam or just add a soft bit of shimmery sheen …
I am loving this delicious winter cocktail and dessert pairing that we have for you today! Dreamed up by Andrea Harper of Gray Harper Event Maker, I am all about this delightful combination of citrus and spice. The kicker here is a bit of cayenne that warms up all the sweetness and the fresh clementines. …
It’s been a little while since we’ve had a real wedding around these parts, but today it’s time to dust off your dancing shoes and get ready to party! Virginia and Michael were married in Ojai, California in a wedding that was somehow a most lovely combination of budget-friendly, personal and absolutely stunning. Of course, …
I love starting every week with a pretty color palette to kick things off. Because sometimes Monday mornings just call for a little extra cream in an especially tall cup of coffee and a fresh dose of something pretty. I’ve found myself really loving neutrals lately. Winter whites and shades of vanilla in particular. So …
Happy Friday, friends! I hope everyone has had a great start to 2013. I know it was pretty quiet around here this week, but I’ve been working on gearing up for some new projects, including a really exciting little site facelift, which I hope will go live in the next month or so. (Fingers crossed!) …
I thought I would take a quick moment today to share with you a few Christmas snippets, Instagram style of course. My holidays involved lots of time with family and loved ones, more than my fair share of Tom and Jerrys, and lots and lots of snow. Add in copious amounts of coffee, mountains of …
