Open House with PPE & Steven Lam Photography

Wow, it's been awhile since we last blogged! In the last month we've been chugging along with planning a fleureticademia schedule, working on our website, meeting brides, designing weddings, and going to industry events (and meeting more awesome people in the wedding industry).

As you might recall, we used to share an office with Kelley Gin of Picture Perfect Events. However, with Kelley's expanding clientele on the Westside, it was an obvious decision to move towards thataway to be closer to her brides. We were so excited for her when she partnered up with Steven Lam Photography and found a loft style office suite with plenty of natural light, big windows, and a roof to chill on. :)

Last week, PPE and Steven Lam Photography hosted their Open House where they invited their friends and family to check out their new studio.

*Justin from Huntington Catering provided good eats like mini quesadillas, pumpkin pie tartlettes, tortilla soup shooters | Kelley's talented brother, DJ Orbit, spun cool mixes throughout the night | Mendy Pound of Cakes by the Pound displayed a cute 'dummy cake' and brought in her heavenly blackout, red velvet, strawberry, and pistachio cakes (on homemade sugar discs) | Theresa Huang from TH Makeup Design beautified all the women at the party with fancy lashes

What's a party without...

*sweet tea was served in personalized mason jars - party favors anyone?

Two of our favorite invitation designers also participated:

*Kim from Papeterie Store made letterpress coasters (very Jonathan Adler-ish) | Tianyi from Tiselle passed out letterpress cards to all the guests (I can't bear to use my 'I'm Sorry' card)

We provided the flowers for the party and added tones of fuchsia, magenta, and grey to the modern airiness of the loft:
