The Captivating Mr. And Mrs. Summitt

Wed, 06 Mar 2013 23:16:33 GMT

Jenny-Rae and Shawn are two of the kindest, sweetest, lovliest, souls I have encountered in a long time. Not only was it a joy working with the couple, but it was a blissful expierence working with their parents. The couple enjoy outdoors in every ascpect. The bride also enjoyed the unexpected, fun, whimsical, and brightness. There love of one another and life is undeniable. So it only seemed fitting that they would get married in the great outdoors, but with a little of their fun and youthful style incorporated.

The couple was extremely grateful to have their friends and family be a party of the wedding .They want to make this a completely enjoyable experience for the two of them. They choose a venue secluded in the woods. They were considerate enough to shuttle their guest to the venue by private trolley!!! This allowed everyone to party as much as they wanted without having to worry about the drive back into the city.

The ceremony and reception were both whimsical,charming, and bright. They embraced the outdoors and the couples atmosphers. The guest danced the evening away, dined on a whole hog, gourmet sides, homemade mini pies ( courtsey of the groom's mom ) , full candy bar and cupcakes. There were plenty of drinks to keep the party going and make everyone feel comfortable in the outdoor setting.

The brides bouquet was tied with her mother's wedding ring and locket in memory of her. We know that her mother was smiling down on us and played a major part in the perfect weather that occurred that day. These beautiful photos were taken by Uche @ Sky TouchEPhotos.

Angie and Charles

Tue, 13 Nov 2012 19:56:15 GMT

Charles and Angela are a beautiful couple. They are two of the nicest people I have ever encountered. My favorite thing about the couple is how they both love loving one another. Charles makes sure he takes care of Angela and Angela makes sure she takes care of Charles. It was very sweet that they both wanted to have a surprise for one another on their wedding day.

It was refreshing that in coversations concerning planning, decor, budget, music, and all other aspects concerning their special day that they always came to a happy medium. I am very excited to share with you a small snippit of their special day!! I am so blessed and honored that Angela and Charles decided to let me be apart of one of the biggest moments of their lives.

Do you need a Venue?

Thu, 26 Apr 2012 13:18:43 GMT

Everyone is always saying there are tons of venues other than hotels to host your event, but no one seems to know where all these great spaces are . I am going to tell you about my favorite Venue right now! It is the Bernice Garden. It is the perfect place for your Birthday, Anniversary, Wedding, Reception, Graduation, Fundraiser, or any other Event or Party you may be having.

Ther Bernice Garden host unique foliage and flowers, beautiful art work, built in seating, parking, and easy access from the interstate. It is right off of 630. Your guest will have no proublem finding this treasure.

One of my favorite things about the Bernice Garden is the covered patio. This is a huge bonus. Many outdoor venues don't have any type of covrage. This works out perfect if it rains. You can also mount tents in the graveled area. This could allow you to create a more intimate and exotic feel. The garden also has lighting in the evening. This creates the perfect atmosphere to party into the evening or host an evening dinner party with close friends and family.

One of the most important and least thought of facilities the garden host are restrooms! This makes the Bernice Garden one of the foremost properties to host your event. It is perfect for dancing, dinner, and cocktail type events. The garden is very easily molded into your vision.

The Bernice Garden is located at: Daisy Bates and Main St. / Little Rock, AR 72202, in the trendy South Main Neighborhood.

You can provide a seated dinner setup for 150 with room for dancing, entertainment, bars, and buffett. You can host 200-220 for a cocktail reception with entertainment and food stationsIf you are having a smaller event simply move everone under the covered patio and your event will still feel full and intimate. The rental rate is extremly affordable.It is only $50.00/ hour !!! There is a cleaning deposit that is retained, but as long as the garden is retunred to a presentable state it will be returned to you. This is really a steal.

I am a lover of the Bernice Garden. It is a perfect location for any event you are having. If you need help creating your vision or a design plan for the garden you can always call Ashley Ann's @ 501-588-1795. We will be more than happy to turn the space into something special to suite your needs and desires.

Candy Bar CRAZY

Wed, 28 Mar 2012 17:08:41 GMT

Candy buffets are fun and inventive. They are great for showers, luncheons, birthdays, weddings, and even dinner parties! You may be thinking candy buffets are dated or overdone, but they are not if you make your bar unique! Why not take it to the next level, add cupcakes, topiary, sodas, pretzels, etc... Take the bar a step futher and stick to one type of candy, peronsalized or monogramed candy or colored theme candy. Be sure to get your containers and scoops or spoons for your candy buffet. Check out the photos below for inspiration! Call Ashley Ann's for your next event: 501-588-1975--Visit our website @ www.ashleyannsevents.com

The Art of the Napkin

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 16:14:28 GMT

I know this blog may be a little silly. Who really thinks or cares about a napkin? I DO! I love napkins. They are so much more than just a cloth to wipe your hands on. Napkins are Reeemarkable. You can fold them into different shapes and styles.

These bistro styled napkins are a perfect example of versatility. When a guest comes into a room they view the room in it's entirety as one picture.As each guest takes their seat they are greeted by their napkin. The type of fold and color add so much to your space. Napkins can be used to help create an atmosphere , band competing colors, or add a punch of color to your room.

Napkins create texture, add glamour, sparkle, festivness, and fun elements to your event or wedding. Napkins are the element that pulls your entire table together,and sometimes they can even bridge elements of decor in a room together.

So don't think you have to stick with plain white napkin. You can jazz them up with rings, flowers, bands, photos, menu cards, etc.. Napkins now come in a multitude of colors, textures, and prints. So have a little fun. Don't limit your napkins!

Wedding Day Makeup

Mon, 02 Jan 2012 19:30:01 GMT

Weddings are one of the most important days of our lives. It is one person commiting their life, future, and love to another. It is the begining of a life together. You have found your soul mate. You are now a part of a team, you don't have to face life alone. So it is apparent why you want to celebrate your love and devotion to one another with everyone in you life.. But there is something else that is important too! How you look. WEDDING DAY MAKEUP is so important....

The look you want should be determined early on. Rather you are doing the makeup yourself or acquiring the help of a professional artist ,make sure you have a makeup trial or lots of practice. Makeup can be simple or elaborate. It is all a matter of your taste. Your makeup should be an enhanced version of yourself on your wedding day.

Rather you want a dewy, sweet, glowing face or a dramatic ,intense evening look , if you are opting to do your own wedding day makeup PRACTICE! Practice makes perfect. You will have an influx of emotions on the big day. You will not want nervous hands to reveal an awkward , or hideous face. You should be on auto pilot when it comes to the look you will showcase on your wedding day .

If you are using a professional makeup artist make sure to take a photo of the finished product .if you love the look, you want to ensure your face will be i mirrored image on the big day. You and the makeup artist will find this helpful when it is time to reveal you and all your glory. Your makeup artist has many clients and faces. So please do not take it personal if the artist cannot remember exactly how you looked during the trial. Be sure to keep a copy of the picture, colors, and makeup used for your own records as well. This will help the actual wedding day to run smoother and ensure you have the look you want.
