  • Vintage Decor via French Flea

    Posted on June 17, 2012 by in Events, FYI, Soiree, Weddings

    Hi Everyone!

    We have been slacking on our blogs, whoops! :)  It’s a busy time of year for weddings and we have been getting ready for a fun upcoming event next weekend! Pepper Place  Saturday Market, Yay!

    A while back we mentioned the use of vintage pieces in weddings and that our friend Karen with The French Flea was getting together rentals for just that reason. Well guess what… they are ready!!! Karen has done a wonderful job creating some amazing pieces that I think everyone will love. We really cannot get enough of the work that Karen does and wanted to share with you guys. We have included a few new pictures from Karen’s website taken by Janet Norris with Robert Norris Photography. Great pictures and pieces!

  • Shoal Creek Wedding

    Posted on April 30, 2012 by in Events, parties, Soiree, Weddings

    Hi Everyone!

    Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! We wanted to share with you a few pictures we snapped at the amazing Shoal Creek which we were thrilled to be a part of and was the perfect wedding to kick off the season.

    The happy couple danced the night away while Feel the Beat kept the music flowing. One of our personal favorites to watch was the Wobble which everyone participated in dancing. Louise’s Cakes and Things provided the cakes and as always they were amazing. Shoal Creek where both the ceremony and reception were held could not have been more perfect. To the spectacular details of the club house to the friendly staff everything was wonderful! Thanks Amanda and Geoffrey for letting Southern Soiree be a part of your day!

  • Pepper Place is here!

    Posted on April 12, 2012 by in Events, FYI, Spring, Uncategorized

    Guess what starts this Saturday, Pepper Place! Pepper Place Saturday Market is a place for the best local growers, food producers, artisans and more to come out each Saturday to share their products with the Greater Birmingham residents April-December, rain or shine!

    Here’s some fun facts about Pepper Place. It started in 2000 and has been expanding rapidly. It is located at the old Dr Pepper Plant and Bottling Factory in the Lakeview district. All the vendors are local and at times you will meet generations of families all underneath the same tent. It is a great place to enjoy a Saturday morning with family, friends, pets and more! Yes you can bring your furry friends! :)

    We plan to have our own tent for Southern Soiree at least 4 times this year. We are really excited about it and can’t wait to participate in such a fun family friendly environment. We are going to have lots of our baked goods, cake plates, antique window frames and more! Hope you guys come out and who knows you might even find a goodie or two! We know we will! See you there!

  • Inspired by Easter Eggs

    Posted on April 3, 2012 by in Inspirations, parties, Recipe, Spring

    Hi Friends!

    We know we have been a bit sketch lately but we have been crazy busy with what we called “March Madness”. It was lots of fun but WHEW! We had the chance to work with tons of wonderful people and will definitely be sharing some pictures, ideas, and more from our new friends! :)

    Spring is finally here and that means Easter, yah! Is anyone tired of Easter candy? Were not, how could you be?!? We thought we would leave you with a touch of inspiration for Easter. Have a wonderful rest of the week with family and friend enjoying this beautiful weather.

  • Spring Bottle Fling

    Posted on February 28, 2012 by in DIY, Inspirations, parties, Spring

    With all this warm weather and the sight of spring flowers we are starting to feel crafty. We have turned to our friends at Pinterest and Etsy to find some super cute DIY projects. Fresh flowers of course require handmade vases and what better way for the use of those leftover wine corks?!?

  • Inspired by A Touch of Green

    Posted on February 22, 2012 by in holiday's, Inspirations, parties, Soiree

    Isn’t this a fun time of year? We practically have to be dragged out of Hobby Lobby or any other craft store and always end up with way more than we planned. It happens though right?

    Now that Valentine’s Day is behind us…fast approaching is Saint Patrick’s Day and of course Easter. More fun holiday’s with great excuses to buy that one extra Cadbury egg since it will only be around for a limited time :) We thought we would leave you with a little touch of green for this wonderful time of year!

  • Inspired by Sweet Colors

    Posted on February 2, 2012 by in Inspirations, parties, Uncategorized

    We thought this was a great post for the upcoming BIG DAY this month…Valentine’s Day of course :) We are making some cake pops next week and might just try this fun detail to make our pops extra Sweeeeeet!

    If you are wondering what the definition of om·bré is here ya go! Probably a lot more than you wanted to know.

    om·bré: having colors or tones that shade into each other —used especially of fabrics in which the color is graduated from light to dark.
