DIY Geo-Backdrop

Sharing our backdrop from April #ATECraftNight! 

Supplies:

Foam Board

 12 Sheets of 12x12 Paper, in various colors

Spray Adhesive

Paper Cutter(Could Use Scissors)

How To:

-Use paper cutter to cut all 12x12 sheets into four squares. 

Note: If you use metallic like I did, those are not double sided like the color, so you must then cut your 4 squares into triangles to avoid showing any white paper)

-Fold all squares into triangles(Excluding the ones that are already cut into triangles, if any). This will give it the 3D effect on the board.

-Start at the top and use spray adhesive on a small portion and begin adding triangles. I did not use a pattern but I think it could take on a whole new look if you did; which I might have to try sometime!

-Continue adding triangles throughout the entire board, in rows as they fit into the each 'puzzle piece' until finished!

Stylish Grooms

Although we like to pretend weddings are all about the brides(not really, well really); lets not forget about those handsome grooms; they need to make an entrance too, right?!

Showing you my favorite modern groom 'looks';  with even a couple of the photos staring my favorite grooms;)!

psssst... the first 3 looks are from the oh so stylish L.R. Men's Clothier & Tuxedos in Laporte, IN!

1. Vintage Classic: Loving this mix-match of prints and styles, paired with a sleek navy suit! Really loved the way the guys coordinated but were so different at the same time! 

 2. 'James Bond': I'm partial to this one:)... when we got married my husbands suit was his main concern, and the only part of the wedding he wanted to have a say in! Luckily for the both of us, we agreed on what we like to call the 'James Bond' all black! I loved it especially paired with his custom Nikes! 

 3. Crisp & Neutral: One of my favorite looks... how amazing is that white on white paisley tie???!!!! Pair it with the clean and khaki suit, topped off with that gorgeous succulent boutonniere! LOVE!

4. Classic Romance: Want to go classic and black tie without wearing a tux... THIS is the answer! Swooning over that velvet jacket! 

5. Huck Finn: The perfect simple look for your casual groom, paired with these thin leather suspenders, gives you that stylish yet simple look!

 6. Soft Mix & Match: if this isn't cool, I don't know what is! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way they all match yet the groom stands out in his different shade suit! The blush color tie is also the perfect choice for those brides that want to make your groom wear pink! ;) So cool!

 7. The Risky Stylish Groom: Kind of dying over this cool and colorful look! Definitely for the risky groom willing to go the extra 'fashion mile' to look cool in a colored pant and bow-tie! Rad!

May Craft Night Info

REALLY excited for next months craft!!!! I absolutely LOVE these woven wall hangings...and the coolest part about it, is that you will learn how to make your own loom as well! Going to be super fun! If you are interested, make sure you reserve your spot by paypal to: athundercarson@gmail.com, they go fast!

April #ATECraftNight: Cacti Planters

This past week was our April #ATECraftNight, and boy did we have fun!! This was our biggest group yet, with a mix of veteran 'craft nighters' as well as new comers too! If you missed out, don't worry, the next few will be at a bigger venue and I will be able to accept more attendees! 

This month we made cement planters for cacti and succulents!! I decided to play off of a 'Mexican bohemian' theme with the cacti, so we also enjoyed a Tequila & Taco Bar along with some adorable individual guacamole avocado bowls made by my mom! We had a blast! 

Date and project for May #ATECraftNight will be on the blog later today! Stay tuned! 

Thanks as always to the lovely local vendors that helped make it so fun:

#ATEPartyShop Preview

The fact that I am writing this blog, makes me super nervous and super excited all at the same time! I am FINALLY opening my Etsy Store! I have been talking the talk for over a year now, time to walk the walk;)! I wanted to give a tiny little preview as to what and why I wanted to open a little party shop! 

As a party planner I am constantly wanting to make parties the best they can be, and me personally, I want to *of course* always go OVER.THE.TOP... but, I know that isn't for everyone! It takes a lot of time and money to plan a party, and all the little details can add up! I want to give people a resource to be able to purchase fun party supplies that won't break they bank, and add little details that will make your party special! 

I am taking some of my fun ideas and party decor, and turning them into mini party kits! For example, if you want to make cute favor bags with confetti and washi tape, you don't have to run all around town, or order from 3 places to get the all supplies you need, just hop on over to our shop and order the entire kit...party decor made easy! I plan on introducing new items that play off of #ATE ideas and inspirations a few times a year, and will also be offering custom orders! 

#ATEPartyShop is set to open May 1st, but in the meantime a few shots of what to expect to see in the shop! Thank you thank you to Balee Images for taking such pretty pictures of our supplies! XOX

Whose ready to shop?!?;)
