Simple Beach 4th of July Decorations

Rudy, Reed and I are enjoying our visit at the beach.  We had the whole clan over for the 4th yesterday and of course I wanted to put together the decorations for the party.  I created these simple decorations from what we had on hand.  I only purchased a $10 bouquet of red carnations from Costco. 

We had a great time - hope you had a safe and happy 4th!








Thank you to Rudy for taking these pictures!  Did you create any decorations for the 4th?  I would love to see them!

Going Away Party

Our good friends Nick and Natalie sold their house and are making the move to Asheville.  We are sad to see them go but so excited for them to start this new chapter in their life. 

Of course this was the perfect opportunity for a party!  My friend Theresa and I styled the going away gathering that my friend Bryn and her husband Matt hosted.  It turned out so cute that I wanted to share the pics with you.  It was a simple cookout but we added some special touches to it.  Thanks to my sweet husband for taking the photos! 


The colors were yellow, white and gray.  I picked up these flowers at the farmers market and put together these arrangements.


Theresa created this great farewell montage that we framed in a simple wooden frame.


Theresa also created this sweet banner that we hung in the breakfast room area of Bryn's house.


 Another fun thing we did is to have each guest complete a mad lib for Nick and Natalie.  They filled in their favorite memory, fun time and what they will miss most about having them here in Charlotte.


I wrapped a few of the vases with coordinating paper, ribbon and raffia. 



These coordinating pom poms and the chevron runner were the perfect details for this party.



Theresa and I made a great team.  The pom poms and runner she had on hand.  She created the banner and mad-libs game.  The day of the party I created the centerpieces and set everything up with Bryn's help. 

Can't wait for the next opportunity for Theresa and I to style another party!  If you have a gathering that you need help with let me know!  We would love to help you no matter what the theme, size or budget.
