Our Secret

For weeks the Borrowed & Blue team has promised BIG changes, and today is THE day to announce the BIG news!  Where should we start?  There is so much to tell!

You know when you buy a great pair of shoes that perfectly match your outfit for a big event?  And then, without trying, you stumble upon an even MORE PERFECT pair of shoes that will go with EVEN MORE outfits?

Yeah… That’s sort of what happened.

A wise girl once said “Those girls throw a MEAN PARTY!” From her words an idea was born.  Why does the party have to end? 

And now for the BIG NEWS.  Borrowed and Blue Events is now ………

 

With a passion for all things stylish, Ava Phillips and Jenny Ross started their journey designing and planning weddings and events.  After falling in love with client after client, they realized they never wanted the party to end.  So, they decided to take their team of creative-minded go-getters and use their combined skills to create a lifestyle management company that helps bring the party into everyday life.

From weddings to baby showers and everything in between, they want each event to be a party NO ONE forgets.  And who wants the party to end after the guests leave?  Everyday life should be a party, too.  

With Mean Party, in addition to planning your wedding, creating your invitations and hand-crafting your floral centerpieces, they can pack for your honeymoon, organize your home office or give you tips to make your life more eco-friendly. The team at Mean Party really does do it all. 

Life is a party.

And we throw a MEAN party.

Will YOU Like Our Big News?

Well another week has gone by interning for Ava and Jenny. Another week of confused looks when I’m working from my computer, laughing out loud while G-chatting those two crazy gals. Another week of coming home on Wednesday nights from meetings with them to discuss business but pleased as if I just got home from a decent party. Just as a college students summer should be, life’s like a party lately.

It’s so much fun I usually can’t turn my mind off of our big plans once my hours are done for the day. Specifically I’ve started an obsessive habit of meeting or seeing someone and thinking, “Yeah they could benefit from our big news coming up.” If you’ve forgotten, we are announcing our BIG news in less than a week. 

The mom of four that I babysit for who juggles keeping up with the house, kid’s lives and a job. The single businessman who came to speak to my summer class about the transition into a working a full-time job after college and the struggle to learn how to get things done outside of work. Even my own single mother who works non-stop, refuses to hire a maid to keep up with her nice house and has a daughter’s wedding to plan in November.

Any of these people I’ve come across this past week sound like you? Stay tuned. Big news and help is coming. Take it from me, with what we have coming your life could be like a party too.

Sugar & Spice

I had the pleasure of putting together a sweet little Sugar & Spice themed baby shower for a pretty little mama to be!  Enjoy these snap shots!

BIG THINGS

Get ready... We’re starting something BIG.

I am BLESSED with the opportunity to fulfill an internship requirement for my degree with Borrowed and Blue Events this summer.  Why am I blessed?  Because while some of my fellow public relations majors will spend their summers sitting behind a desk doing boring work they have no interest in, I get to do what I’ve grown to LOVE and be my silly, slightly sassy self while doing it. 

My first official week of interning has been glamorous, I mean two of my working days involved a photo shoot and a business meeting over the best sushi roll I’ve ever had.  Unfortunately, I’m dealing with one major challenge….

I can’t brag about the awesome work I’m doing until June 24 when all of us at BBE reveal our “new & exciting changes” Ava and Jenny have promised.  Instead I must be vague and the best word I’ve come up with to describe our upcoming news is … it is BIG.   

Busy? In too deep? Got a lot to do?  Don’t fret, just get excited.  On June 24 we will announce to Charlotte our plans to do what we love.  Aren’t we doing that already?  Yes.  We love weddings, more specifically, we love to assist couples in making their wedding day amazing, stress-free, and the most memorable party of their lives, and we never want the party to end….

Sorry!

SOOOOO Sorry we haven't posted in awhile. But don't lose faith. We are working hard on some new  & exciting changes coming soon to the BBE family. We will be back soon... promise!!!

AVA WAS HERE

The proof is on the back of public bathroom doors, carved into trees and etched into cement.  People like to sign their name.  They love it.  Give them a fun place to write it, and they'll eat it up!  Here are some unconventional guest book ideas to get your motors turning!  

Southern Wedding Obsession

I am slightly, moderately - okay okay - extremely obsessed with glammy, southern weddings!  Here are a few of my favorite looks via my PINTEREST!
