The Ribbon & Ink launch party is THIS coming Sunday and I am so so excited! It is going to be so fun and I can’t wait to see you all and share my new look and celebrate with some cocktails and light bites at The Loft at 600 F in Washington D.C.

I wanted to take a moment to share my awesome vendor team who are contributing their many talents to help make this party so special to me.

PLANNER | Alyssa Gable | Lovely Bubbly Events

Alyssa is amazing. If you don’t know her you should. She is so detail oriented and saves me headaches from trying to organize things on my own. Stay tuned for a vendor spotlight post on her this week!

PHOTOGRAPHER | Renee Hollingshead | Renee Hollingshead Photography

Renee is a super sweet world traveler who is being generous enough to come shoot the party as a type of styled shoot in between her ridiculous travel schedule. Even as I type she is in South Africa and is leaving the day after my party for another adventure. Renee and I both went to Salisbury University for completely different careers and ended up doing what we love. Fun fact: she was in the dance company and is a beautiful dancer too!

CALLIGRAPHY | Allison McLaughlin | Allison Dee Calligraphy

I met Allison via Alyssa at our Rising Tide Society meeting . She was just starting her business and was so sweet to offer to hand address my invitations and be at the party writing name tags for guests.

 

 

 

 

FLOWERS | Lisa Sommer | Petals & Promises

I met Lisa via our Bethesda, Maryland Rising Tide Society meeting as well. She has so much experience and works full time as a nurse too!

 

 

CATERING | Farm to Feast Catering

I found Farm to Feast via a friend from, yet again, my Rising Tide group. (If you are a small business owner and aren’t in a group…go find one!) Hannah and the team are preparing some light bites for the party and I am so grateful for them!

 

 

 

COCKTAILS | True Syrups 

In addition to some light bites Farm to Feast is working with their recommended bartender to serve some simple sweet cocktails.

 

 

 

DESSERT | Fresh Dizicheh | Fresh Bakes

I have worked with Fresh a few times before and her desserts are nothing short of amazing and delicious. She is going to be making some fabulous logo coookies and macaroons.

 

 

GIFT | Jamie Kutchman Wynne | Marigold & Grey

Jamie specializes in artisan welcome gifts and they are oh so beautiful. Check out her holiday collection here. Jamie will be contributing a gift for the winner of our instagram challenge at the party. It will be filled with styling supplies for the winner to use to style images for their own business.

Looking forward to celebrating!
