Baci Designs | Lexy's 30th Birthday Party Floral {Hudson, Ohio}

Working on floral projects for friends and family is always such a joy!  When our dear friend, Sam, came to me about floral and place cards for his wife Lexy's upcoming 30th Birthday Party I was thrilled.  I took the need for both and combined them creating these beautiful floral place cards.  I was in absolute love with the final result!

Baci Designs | Jami + Eric's Wedding {Defiance, Ohio}

October 8th, 2011 was the best day in my life.

I got to plan my own wedding with the help of my talented sister, Amanda. As most of you may know, Eric and I's wedding date was not only special to us, but to both of our parents as well. October 8th was Russ & Deb Jesse's and Tom & Jane Guilford's anniversary as well. When Eric and I got engaged, Eric called the K of C Hall in Defiance to see if October 8th was open..and IT WAS!!! We knew it was fate :) 

Eric and I wanted to incorporate the special date into our wedding, well little did I know Grandma Shirley put Amanda in charge of getting a custom rosary made for me (Leaping with Faith did an amazing job!) and on the back of my cross there was Eric and I's wedding date and our parents!! It was perfect!!!! I also wanted to incorporate my grandfathers into our wedding because they both meant a lot to me and are no longer with us. I found a gorgeous vintage locket and put a picture of them in it. The rosary and locket hung from my bouquet and was close to my heart!!

Our photographer, Montana of Montography fromWauseon, Ohio did a fabulous job capturing special moments on our big day. One thing Eric and I knew we wanted were pictures having to do with baseball. Eric lives for summer AND fall playing ball at the park and I live to watch my husband do something he loves!! Eric gathered up his grandpa's old glove and an old ball bat to take with us on our wedding day (only in Northwest Ohio would that happen, ha). However, the props made for awesome pictures!!

I can't forget about my wonderful bridesmaids and groomsmen!!! They were super easy to pick and absolutely wonderful people to be part of our wedding!!! 

Eric and I couldn't been any more pleased with how the day went, everything was perfect :)

baci's Display at the Every Blooming Thing Wedding Planning Event {Akron, Ohio}

This past Saturday, I had the opportunity to set up a display for baci at the Every Blooming Thing Wedding Planning Event at the Every Blooming Thing Floral Shop in Akron (which you really must check out - there are so many goodies to be had!!).  It was the most gorgeous day with sunlight shining in all of the big, beautiful windows and we had such a wonderful time!!  I also got the chance to hang out with amazing Scott and Kevin of Every Blooming Thing, the beautiful Margaret of JaNicki Photography, the super sweet Kris of Mayatux and the über talented Sonja of Poppy Designs - it was quit the fab group of people to be around :o)

Once again, I rented some awesomeness from HodgePodge Vintage Rentals - I don't know where I'd be without Maria ;o)  She provided the two rustic ladders that matched my vision perfectly!!  I then hung burlap bunting (once again handmade by the lovely Brittany!) alternated with twine-strung custom designed escort cards (made especially for the event).  Since we were at a floral shop we took the idea for our Abbey Rose Gift Sets and turned some of our favorite invitation suites (a few you've seen and a few more recent ones you might not have!) into "blooming" works of art!  We chose to display designs in greens, blacks, browns and blues to coincide with our rustic theme, but to also add a "pop" of color :o)

I accented baci's design work with a brand new hand-drawn baci chalkboard (it may be my new favorite thing EVER!), our fancy new boutique information cards, vintage letterpress forms, old books, a few bronzed tea lights, antique display forks (made by my Grandma's rockin' boyfriend, Howard!) and the cool terrarium Brittany created that made it's initial appearance at the JStyle Weddings Bridal Event.  I honestly was 100% in love with the way it all turned out and I hope you're smitten, too :o)

baci's Table Design at the JStyle Weddings Bridal Event {Cleveland, Ohio}

Ilario, Caroline, Brittany and I had the pleasure of showcasing baci's work at the JStyle Weddings Bridal Event on Sunday, February 26th at the beautiful Ritz-Carlton Cleveland. . . and it was AWESOME!  Not only was the event wonderfully coordinated by the folks at LinQ 2 Communications, the brides in attendance were full of amazing ideas and they even managed to bring along a few great hubbys-to-be, moms and even dads :o)

I must say that it was incredible to be able to create a table display perfectly in line with baci's sense of style (which happens to be my sense of style - lol!) - since all work we create is custom we strive to show our clients personalities and preferences in their designs (which we LOVE doing!!).  It was really cool to take the reigns and make it all about baci this time around.

The vintage shabby chic theme was perfectly accented with some fabulous products from Maria at HodgePodge Vintage Rentals - the pillars (which were the perfect place to hang our handmade bunting!), a few accents to our place setting (tea cup and saucer, anchor plate and wallpaper place mat), the gorgeous lace overlay and the distressed window (full of Jami and Eric's stationery!!) all added just the right touch!

We used the vintage type writer (my Grandma's find!) as a place to display one of our favorite handmade seeded paper suites and the library-type filer held a gorgeous letterpress suite - all of which you'll see more photos of soon!  Intern Brittany worked hard making the perfect addition of a terrarium, bunting and distressing our baci signage - I love how they all turned out :o)  The beautiful brown floral place setting (with a doily-punched menu and napkin-ring place card created just for the event!) was accented with another awesome seeded paper suite complete with unique table names, guest favors and hands-down the coolest escort cards ever - they're wax-sealed and open up to reveal the table name!!  To finish off the table design we added burlap, old books (from Jami and Eric's wedding - yay!), letterpress blocks and an gorgeous floral display in a vintage crate, created by yours truly (I put my Floral Design Class skills to work - lol!).

Check out some of the details photographer by the awesome Caroline - don't you just LOVE it?!?!?  We're super excited to showcase our skills at the Every Blooming Thing Wedding Planning Event this Saturday - it's a whole new display that you must see :o)
