Hi friends!
The time has come for one of our most anticipated weekends of the summer!
This Saturday from 7am to 12pm Southern Soirée will have a booth at Pepper Place Saturday Market. Our booth will include sweet goodies like cake pops, a variety of cookies, cupcakes, and muffins. We will also have some great vintage home decor items for sale.
We are so excited and hope to see you all there!!


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!


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!

As most of you know we loves animals! We have both adopted pets from the Humane Society and various rescue groups and are always looking for ways to help out our loving furry friends. What better way to help than send a “Valentine” to homeless pets for Valentine’s Day and give a gift that keeps on giving. We have attached the link to the Shelby Humane Society website. You can find lots of information about how to donate or better yet, visit any Humane Society location to find your own special furry friend that will only ask for a little bit of love and always be right beside you to cheer you up.

Also, here is some event information for a fundraiser at California Pizza Kitchen at Riverchase Galleria and Summit locations on Thursday February 2, 2012. You can print the flyer by clicking on link below and 20% of your check will be donated to the organization. Another wonderful way to contribute!
Thanks for your support friends! Our little pups below were rescued and remind us everyday of how grateful they are to finally have a home that loves them unconditionally and we wouldn’t change it for the world!

Hey Guys!
Last weekend we got together to take pictures for our ad in the upcoming Perfect Wedding Guide due out in February 2012. We thought it was a great opportunity to show you some of the pictures of the vintage furniture we used for the photo-shoot.



A few months ago one of our friends had a trunk show at her house where we were first introduced to Karen with French Flea. Karen has sold her pieces in numerous places around Birmingham and also does custom pieces for her clients. We were talking with Karen and coming soon she hopes to begin renting vintage furniture for weddings, photo-shoots or even your next Soiree. We will keep you posted! Check out the French Flea blog to see all the great items Karen has created!
