Friday Fabulousness | B MINE :: send love. kate spade style.

Design: Julianna Goodman

I suppose it's no real secret that I love pretty much anything designed by kate spade.

The other day I received an email from them asking me to "send love" and I was happy to oblige!  They have some super cute e-cards for Valentine's Day!  Here are a few of my favorites:

Designer: Caitlin McGauley

Of course I liked the one with the dog!

Designer: Dana Lucas

A cute collage of fun red things!

Designer: Joy Cho

The shoes. Almost better than the dog.

Designer: Grant Hamilton

xo.xo.xo. enough said.

Designer: Julia Rothman

And who doesn't love a good pickup line?

Designer: Katie Evans

well, because he's my lobster {yes, I'm a bit of a dork. I'm ok with that}

Check it out here and take two minutes to send one to your love, stylish sister, trendy best friend, fabulous client {or vendor!}...it's free, so no excuses! And after you do that, take two more minutes to leave a comment below and tell me which one was your fave!

Mary + Luke :: Engaged!

Since it's sort of cold + dreary outside on this February morning, I thought I'd share some bright, fun engagement photos!

First of all, I just have to share Mary + Luke's adorable "Save the Date" postcard! Such a perfect representation of both of them! This set the perfect tone for their April wedding at the Mint Museum Uptown.


LOVE the Save the Date postcard that this fun couple sent to their guests!
Mary is an alum of UNC-Chapel Hill, Luke graduated from Appalachian State University where he was involved with the football program and they are getting married in Charlotte (where you will often find him sporting some seersucker & her wearing a totally adorable sundress!)

 Now for some fun eye candy to brighten your day, check out this completely adorable & totally stylish enagagement session from Kristin Byrum Photography!
Mary + Luke also enlisted the help of the super talented & always swanky Melissa Lamkin for her styling expertise!  So excited to work with her on their wedding day, too! {PS: Happy Birthday, MGL!}

Sassy! Love it!

I absolutely adore this shot! Captures their personalities perfectly!

Obsessed with Mary's hair & makeup in this shot!

If y'all only knew what lurked behind that "look".... 

Aaron doing his best directing work. I seriously wish I could have been a fly on the wall at this shoot....

Cheers!

Winter Wedding Inspiration :: Baby It's COLD Outside!

Happy New Year from Sweet November Events!  In honor of the crazy snowy/icy/freezing weather we've had lately, I thought it would be fitting to do a blog post devoted to winter weddings!
Don't get me wrong, I love a good spring or fall wedding or even summer on the beach.  But these pictures make a crisp, snowy winter wedding look pretty darn good!

Enjoy...and stay warm!
