Our Website has launched

Hello friends!  Well, it's been a work in progress for some time, but we're thrilled to announce that our Charming Touch Parties website has been launched and is available for your viewing pleasure.  Check it out for yourselves.  If you have feedback we appreciate it!


www.charmingtouchparties.com


We also are very excited to announce a NEW package we're offering:

 "A Box of Charm"
This was specifically designed for our out-of-town friends that love our boutique dessert tables but don't live close enough for us to come on site.  We can create a theme-driven table design, make and procure materials and ship them directly to YOU.  We will customize this package to your needs and budget and will give tutorials and tips on how to make the table look professional.  So, talk to us if we can add some "charm" to your next event.  We truly believe that FUN IS IN THE DETAILS!

Winter Wonderland Party Feature

Turning on the computer and realizing a party that I styled is being featured on a national site just never gets old!  One of our holiday parties from December is currently being featured on Catch My Party

This is our 5th feature in four months and I'm just so flattered.  Back in December, I was asked to style a fun and festive party for a friend of mine who has two boys, ages 2 and 5 that ironically SHARE the same birthday (just seven days before Christmas).  We decided to use the festive time of year to our advantage and created a fun, whimsical snowman party, complete with desserts galore, a hot chocolate bar and a visit man from the big man up North.  It was an adorable party -- and the kids faces said it all...pure delight!

Gettin' our style on

Well, I am happy to report that the storage bins that consumed my living and dining room for over a week are gone...that's right Christmas is packed away.  It's always a little bitter sweet to say goodbye to the holidays, but it's a perfect opportunity to tidy up the house and get fresh perspective on life, goals and the year ahead.  Love that about January.  It is officially time to get our act in gear and start the prep and design phase for Charming Touch Parties first two parties of 2013.  The first party, a vintage horse themed birthday celebration, will be styled for my sweet (and very horse obsessed daughter) who will be turning 5 in February.  We are going all out for this monumental birthday and hosting the event at a horse stable.  My sweet little lady will be in HEAVEN.  It will be pink and purple with vintage charm.  Oh my goodness, this is a fun party to work on.  Here's a sneak peek at the colors.
My talented friend and custom clothing designer, Sarah Cavazos (at Sweetpea Dean) made the darling dress.  She makes some of the cutest children's pieces and can ship anywhere in the United States.  Check her out on Facebook if you have a chance.  The printable line is from Three Little Monkey Studio.  I am itching to get styling away on this party!

We are also styling a lovely gender neutral baby shower in February.  The theme:  "You Are My Sunshine".  The color choices are gray, yellow and white -- and while I would like to give away more from this party, I don't want to spoil the fun.  It's going to be classy, cheerful and modern.

Stay tuned for more sneak peeks in the coming weeks.  I hope to share a little more.  As always, use this blog to comment and give feedback.  Look forward to hearing from each and every one of you!

XOXO,
Val
