A Belovely Circus First Birthday Party

This past winter we had the great privilege of teaming up with our friend Brittany from Hatch on her son’s first birthday party. She had planned to throw a Circus themed birthday bash and we gladly stepped in to lend a hand with the planning and decor! First birthdays are pretty tough – you want to celebrate the big 1, but your kid isn’t quite old enough to really understand what is going on….hence the peanut martini and swedish fish jello shots! We loved how we were able to incorporate a fun and stimulating birthday full of games, music and silly noses for the kids, but it was still fun enough for all the adults to enjoy! Nina Price Photography did an absolute amazing job of capturing the day and all of our detailed decor!2013-05-06_004 2013-05-06_005 2013-05-06_006 2013-05-06_007 2013-05-06_008 2013-05-06_009 2013-05-06_010 2013-05-06_011 2013-05-06_012 2013-05-06_013 2013-05-06_014 2013-05-06_015 2013-05-06_016 2013-05-06_017 2013-05-06_018 2013-05-06_019 2013-05-06_020 2013-05-06_021 2013-05-06_022 2013-05-06_023 2013-05-06_024 2013-05-06_025 2013-05-06_026 2013-05-06_027 2013-05-06_028 2013-05-06_029 2013-05-06_030 2013-05-06_031 2013-05-06_032 2013-05-06_033 2013-05-06_034 2013-05-06_035

A Belovely Wedding: Amanda + Tom

Way back in October 2012 we had the pleasure of working on Amanda & Tom’s big day. The weather was perfect, the couple looked gorgeous, the venue was lovely, and we got to work beside some of our favorite vendors! Amanda did such a great job of planning out their wedding day, her colors and decor were to die for! We love when our brides just hand over an extra box of “stuff” that they picked up but weren’t sure what to do with it. To belovely – that’s like a box of toys, and suddenly we felt like kids again, designing and decorating on the fly to our hearts content. <3

A little over a month ago, the photos of their beautiful day were featured over on Ruffled Blog!

Not only were we smitten to see their big day featured on one of our absolute favorite blogs, but getting to read A&T’s write up of their wedding day brought us to tears. Here’s a snip-it from the blog post on Amanda’s thoughts of having Belovely be a part of their day:

“Being the control freak that I am, it was really hard to let go on the big day. I spent months, nay – years, on planning the wedding. I had collected every mason jar, selected every piece of fabric, every color, each piece of attire and everything on the menu. I had collected so many ideas and so many props to build my perfect set and I didn’t know who was going to help me execute my ideas. Enter: belovely. The lovely ladies at belovely helped me put everything in place on the big day. I was able to relax when I knew that everything was under control. I trusted them completely. I gave them all of my things and had a walk through with them where we discussed all of my plans and concerns. Hands down, one of the best decisions of the event. Without them my theme and decor would have fell apart, not to mention the coordination of everything! They listened to what I said and completely understood my approach and vision. They even made last minute decisions that made things look even better than I imagined.”   

Tears right? Happy, happy tears! It’s reviews like that that make us excited do what we do!! Today we’re so happy to share with all of you some of our favorite images of A&T’s wedding day, captured by the talented Lindsay & Laura-Chase of Readyluck Photography !
