Walk it out.

Everyone who knows me knows I am a hippie in heels. But, don’t get me wrong – I just LOVE a good pair of boots! When I think of winter boots, three words come to mind: Cozy. Comfortable. Chic. Here are some trendy boots that will be sure to keep your little piggies warm this winter!

And remember, give a girl the right pair of shoes and she can conquer the world :)

All About the Bout.

Here at Mean Party, we pride ourselves on planning weddings that surpass every couple's expectations. So trust us when we say, when planning your wedding – every little detail counts!

That means picking the perfect boutonniere for your soon-to-be hubby. The bout is a fun way to give your man a little flavor. A single rose and baby’s breath? Psshh – that’s old news!!! If you want to get super creative, ditch the flowers completely! Instead, use buttons, feathers, beads, herbs, or even wire. Here are a few of my favorites via Pinterest!  

Here’s to making it count!!

Nailing it.

Anyone that knows me, knows I have a thing for nail polish. It's beyond an obsession. And currently I am head over heels with anything dark and brooding and completely winter. Here are some of the colors I am dying to put on my nails right now!

Winter Blues

It is no secret to those who know me, I'm a summer girl. I like dresses and bare legs (when they're tan), blonde hair, and burnt cheeks!  But I will admit, I've grown a dear love for winter weddings!  Here are a few wedding shots that really strike my fancy (oh - and, this post gets me super pumped for our winter wonder wedding coming up in a couple weeks! eek!!)

We Miss, LIZ!

I've had quite a few people ask me where Liz has been.  They haven't received a phone call or email from her.  Paul hasn't gotten to talk sports with her during our Wednesday night meetings.  And her stellar blog posts have been M.I.A.  ..... Sigh.

Liz has been busy (just like the rest of us gals - cough, cough, hence why we've been lacking in the blogs) with her own big gig.  She is heading up one of the BIGGEST events UNC Charlotte sees every year and in between her lack of sleep and school work, she hasn't had time for the blog world.

So, of course, we crash bombed her workshop to say hello.  And so we could post an embarassing picture of her.

Everyone say, "Hi, Liz!!!"

PS - Come back soon, we miss you.

PPS - Sorry again for our blogging lack.  I promise our brides and grooms appreciate our dedication to them as opposed to our blogs! =)

Falling in Love.

Ok - so we all know Ava loves summer. Well... let's go ahead and put it out there, Jenny loves fall. I LOVE it! I mean don't get me wrong, come talk to me mid January and summer time sounds super sweet. But I truly believe nothing, NOTHING beats fall. Football, fire pits, boots, scarfs, whiskey by the fire. Gahhhh I love it. So while we all turn our AC way to high and take turns lounging by the pool.   I have just a few fall dreams.

Fur and knee highs anyone? Oh wait... it's still 100 degrees....

Carry on.
