Party Recap...

This is something that we put A LOT of effort into and we hope that you like it and are inspired. The vision for this photoshoot came from a good friend of mine who recently left her "high-powered" (and highly paid I might add) attorney job to become a teacher. It wasn't a decision that she came to lightly and it took about a year of soul searching to finally get there. I'm so proud of her courage and desire to follow her passion, hence, I thought we could have a "Celebrating Independence" party in her honor...which led me to this idea. 4th of July is about our country's independence but it could also be celebrating your own independence from any number of things just like my friend. So go ahead and plan your own "Celebrating Independence" brunch.

I wanted this party to be about Independence Day but I didn't want it to scream 4th of July. I found this fabric and it just about leaped into my cart. It was so beautiful and perfect for the look I had envisioned. So this party was 4th of July "deConstructed". I didn't want the typical stars and stripes so I created the pattern for the placecards to match the pattern of the fabric.
