{SBTN's fist MAGAZINE appearance!!!}

The beginning of this year while away on vacation

(when I do my best thinking) 

I wrote down some business goals for the year.

Goals for 2013 . . .

Get featured in my favorite wedding blogs 

(Ruffled, 100 Layer Cake, Wedding Chicks, Green Wedding Shoes)

done, done, done, soon!

Catch up on blogging past weddings

(this will take longer than I thought, but plan is to be fully caught up by end of year)

 . . . a few other important goals I forget . . .

AND

To get in a magazine!

(Thanks La Luz Photography!!!)

I can't even believe it:)

We have 2 photos in here, the main one on the left and the center photo on the right!!!

I thought I was just dreaming big . . . maybe it would happen next year or a couple down the road. Nope. It was time!

I feel truly blessed . . . and still on cloud 9.

I am so lucky to have so many crazy talented peeps in my life.

I get to do this amazingly rewarding and fun job, and I even get paid for it:)

For some reason this Mint and Gold Enchanted shoot we did last fall just blew up this year (see it here on 100 Layer Cake), 

and someone from the UK saw this, contacted Aly and wanted to feature it in their magazine . . . 

OK!

This is my 3rd year in business as Simply by Tamara Nicole, 

and I swear it just gets better and better.

xoxo 

Dream BIG my darlings!!!

{Enchanted Mint and Gold . . . Part 2: Champagne & Table Decor}

Back to our Enchanted Mint and Gold Shoot . . .

If you missed Part I you can see it here.

Now on to the next part: 

The Reception Table

(all photos by the amazing Aly from La Luz Photography)

My inspiration for this part of the shoot was the herringbone backdrop that I made (DIY baby!) with glitter gold cardstock and mint green cardstock.  I traced and cut each piece, and hot glued it to my backdrop fabric in the herringbone shape and viola! 

LOVE how it turned out.

(Check out the AMAZING hollywood regency chandeliers from Vintage Ambiance)

Also my lovely model Claudia Lorena is just adorable, right? 

Hair and makeup by my girl Yessie Makeup Artistry!

Other inspiration: gold gold gold! I spray painted the pine cones and plastic fruit pieces gold, love that too!

The menus: I designed these to include the "arrow" theme of the shoot, also a fun whimsical font was important:)

Tip to make your champagne sweet and fun: add rock candy! Also can add some color if desired:)

Each place setting included some textured gold chargers, the lovely vintage plates from Vintage Ambiance, mint green napkins, the arrow through the fruit seating card, and goldware.

OH and the flowers just made the table, thanks to the lovely Nicole from Florarama Modern Design.

The girls enjoying their champagne in their Luly Yang Couture gowns.

There is just something perfect about little simple bud vases :) See!

I mean that backdrop, right?!

Next up from this shoot . . . the dessert table!!!

What is your favorite element from this shoot?

Mine, is coming up next!!!
