PROM DATE

Back in December, The Bell Jar (a fab community of Dallas wedding creatives I'm a part of) hosted a PROM party at Three Three Three for brides-to-be, industry peeps, and our friends and fam. This was not just any prom party - it was a 1950's prom party, complete with Bows and Arrows corsages, pompadour styling from Shampoo Salon, rockabilly tunes, a photobooth from Birds of a Feather, and lots and lots of dancing. We provided a dessert bar and hosted a rockin' CAKEWALK! It was a total blast and I can't wait for this year's Bell Jar Bash!

Check out these gorgeous pics from Apryl Ann...

Our dessert bar full of yummy after school inspired treats!

 To decorate the dessert bar, we dip dyed paper banners.

 

Macarons aren't the American after school snack, but they're so pretty, so they made the cut. Flavors included: mint, raspberry, mango, and sesame seed.

 

Snowballs

 

 

 Rice Krispie Cakes

 

Lauren Chism Paper designed the cute dessert cards.

 Guests could choose their own fun corsages by Bows and Arrows upon arrival.

It's a BOY!

So excited to share these beautiful photos from Arden Prucha of the adorable Mooty family! Brooke asked us to make a sweet little buttercream cake for her family's gender reveal photo shoot. She wanted to capture all the genuine joy and surprise for her reveal on camera, so without peeking, she handed us the sealed envelope straight from the doctor's office. We opened up the announcement and made a special cake with colorful layers inside. When the family cut into the cake and saw layers of bluuuue, they realized another little boy is on the way!  I just love these images from Arden! She really captured all their love, joy and excitement. How cute is little Ben?!?! Can't wait to meet their next fella.

It was such an honor to be part of this special moment with this beautiful family! Just another reason we absolutely love what we do!

Special thanks to Arden Prucha for letting us share these images.
