I’m so excited to share some awesome pics of our holiday open house this past Saturday. All images by the insanely talented and wonderful donald yeager:

The decor theme was a modern holiday with snowflakes as a graphic and the colors of ice blue, Caribbean blue, and Tiffany with accents of pistachio. We had a lovely snowflake gobo pattern on the floor & upstairs in the hot cocoa bar area by Nashville Event Lighting

Upstairs, we had an awesome treat bar in the colors of the party theme:

Amazing snowflake cake by Cakes by Rebecca. Not only are her cakes gorgeous, they taste amazing as well– I am in love with this cake, and now want a winter wedding just to have a snowflake cake:

Cheesecake lolipops drizzled with coordinating colors were from Chefs Market, and they were almost too pretty to eat– almost, though, because they were gobbled up:

Cool printed chocolates from Chocolate Graphics were another neat touch: I love these for a great holiday gift idea or for favors for a wedding: you can custom print with whatever you want!:

Other treats were color coordinated to the event: hersheys kisses, blue & white gumballs, and green and white m&ms, to name a few:

    It looks so great! Congrats!! I’m sorry I missed it, but am so happy you went with off-season colors (aka, not the typical reds and greens that we all have come to expect). Great Job. I’ll be stopping by soon for one of those mini trees!
