I am so excited about announcing two incredible events coming up very soon, but the first bit of news is another Not Wedding is taking place this spring at the W Hotel in Atlanta,GA.

I’ts been so much fun getting to know Courtney a little better over the last couple of weeks and her generosity has been nothing short of amazing. It takes a lot of time and research to pull together a concept like the table below and am so appreciative of all the work she has done for our little series. Not only is Courtney a genius with anything involving paper or event design, but she recently launched a photography business with her husband, Erin Hearts Court. If your looking for a photographer in Southern California, I would definitely check out their site. Their prices are extremely reasonable and I don’t think you could find two more caring or generous individuals to capture your wedding….
Here are the ingredients used…
garden of Frida Kahlo. I also wanted to make sure that there was lots
of room for food to be set on the table for a family style set up with
a fun mexican flair but not to much "typical" mexican decor.
the napkins are wrapped in corn husk and tied with raffia. I wanted to
use photos of frida not her iconic artwork, as I thought it was more
interesting and less used.

I don’t think I have the words to describe how incredible Courtney’s table is below, so I will think I will let her beautiful images do most of the talking. I do want to add though that Courtney created this whole table including flowers, vases, fabric, etc for under $225. She tried to incoporate as many materials you might have to work with at a typical venue like white plates, a white tablecloth, white napkins, and a round table…
Part II with shoot details coming up next…

You might remember a sneak peek of the first set of invitations below, but Courtney was also kind enough to create another more elegant version for her frida inspired Table Trend…
One of the biggest struggles I have when it comes to crafting/creating is taking a
board or an idea and bringing the whole concept to life. Courtney obviously
has no problem in this area because as you will see soon her inspiration board is really a
mirror image of her Frida table. I’ve been wanting to showcase a brightly colored table on Once Wed for quite some time now and am so excited the day has finally come to unveil Courtney’s lovely table…
