Wordless Wednesday: Wedding Inspiration + Trends
Imely Photography and Video LLC
Did you know that December is the most popular month to get engaged? Next to December is February with Valentine’s Day. In the spirit of engagement season and wedding season on the horizon, I’m sharing some of our favorite weddings with you that are still trending in 2015.
Dessert bars, exposed brick and industrial spaces with a lounge vibe were gaining popularity in 2010 and are still trending in 2015. Sara + Abe got married on NYE in 2010, which remains a popular wedding date. Get the details of their wedding here.
Winter weddings were trending in 2011 and are still hot in 2015! As are small, intimate weddings. I was honored to plan and style one of my best friends weddings at their favorite French restaurant! Christina wanted an elegant but simple décor with blue and white. Blue and white is classic and will always be in style. Get the details of Christina and Sam’s Winter Wedding here.

Sophisticated and memorable food and experience at weddings started trending in 2008 and hasn’t stop since! While some might argue you never remember the food at weddings, that wasn’t the case at our wedding and most of the weddings and events I plan and style. Our intimate wedding of 80 guests at The Ritz Carlton Sarasota Beach Club is still talked about amongst our friends as being one of the most memorable; who could forget that lobster bisque!
Other trends such as the signature drink, coordination of color and theme throughout the wedding, and destination weddings in 2009 are still hot in 2015. Not to mention my favorite colors coral and blue are hot trends this year not only in fashion and interior design, but are seeing variations of the colors in weddings and events. I know a few people thought the color coral was bold and was fitting for a beach wedding, but wouldn’t reach mainstream.

Backstage Pass to High Point Furniture Market Fall 2014
I’ve had the pleasure of attending several High Point Markets as the design assistant to the talented Lory Cobb Interiors based out of Charlotte. I learn so much from Lory Cobb Interiors every time we venture to Market.
Here’s a photo of one of my favorite installations by Lory Cobb Interiors!
High Point Market (HPMKT) is the largest furnishings industry trade show in the world, brining together 75,000 people biennially to High Point, NC. This year the market trends are “bright, bold and brassy” according HPMKT Style Spotters.
You learn quickly as a Market goer to wear the right shoes! Fashion is important but comfort takes the driver seat as you navigate the 11.5 million square feet of showrooms.
If you follow me on Instagram you’ll recognize this faux bamboo desk in white and gold from Bungalow 5.
Their 2015 line did not disappoint and was by far a stand out at High Point!
My next favorite is Thibaut! Always a must see at Market with their fun colors and setting trends with patterns and fabrics.
I always enjoy finding new exhibitors such as Lowcounry Originals. Lighting is setting trends and becoming more of statement piece. Loved everything in Jamie Young Co.
Shades of blue and red are hot right now! Of course my personal style is blue, white, and coral and found some great pieces at Trade Winds Furniture of Charlotte, Guild Master, Gabby and one of my favorites of HPMKT Ro-Sham-Beaux.
Hope this inspires you as much as it has me!
Queen City Gala: Black Tie For Charity Event
The Queen City Gala, a first annual black tie fundraiser benefiting Men’s Shelter of Charlotte, Lydia’s Legacy and Samaritan’s Feet was the premier event of the fall in Uptown Charlotte!
The gala was held at the Levine Museum of the New South and featured a shrimp and grits station, Moscow Mule signature drink, and the talented band U-Phonik that got the crowd dancing!
The night was full of heart felt sentiment as the hosts explained why the three charities were so personal to them. Followed by representatives of each charity, who spoke with such passion and moved everyone in the audience.
The color scheme was vibrate and represented the colors of the three charities. We used melon linens for the cocktail tables and teal blue for the seating tables. Pop of orange, coral, green, pink, and purple provided a great contrast to the table linens.
Since several of the hosts were involved in their charities in memory of a loved ones, I was especially honored and touched to be a part of this event.
Additionally, it was our relationship through the Junior League of Charlotte, which has a rich history of service, that brought us together. All four hosts, the founder of Lydia’s Legacy, Carin Ross Johnson, and myself are all members of the Junior League of Charlotte.
Besides the shrimp and grits and the Moscow Mule, the other fun element was the black tie formal attire requested dress code. Watching people walk in and dance in formal dresses added a festive atmosphere to the night!
Everyone that attended the event went away knowing a little more about these three well established charities in Charlotte and not wanting the night to end after getting down on the dance floor.
To learn more about the Queen City Gala, the charities, and hosts please like Queen City Gala on Facebook.

New Year New Logo
You might have noticed we have a new logo! October will mark Sarah Sofia Productions 4th year as wedding and event planning firm and as we grow and expand so does our band.
It all started with my love of coral and blue and designing my business cards with those colors and motif. I wanted something that would coordinate across the board from my website, to my blog, to my social media outlets.
That’s where Madison Wetherill, Grace & Vine Studios, came into the picture and made our new brand a reality. Madison did an amazing job capturing what I had envisioned and working with me to get it just right. You can read all about the details and the process on her blog here.
If you haven’t stop by our website lately, come on by and check out our new logo here.
Brunch with the Girls: Summer Entertaining
I’ve always enjoyed being a hostess and brining people together, even before I decided to become a wedding and event planner!
Brunch is one of my favorite types of events because there is so much you can do, plus who doesn’t love a little sweet with their savory and some bubbly!
This past weekend was no exception, as a group of professional small business owners from interior design, to events, to PR gathered at my home for brunch. It’s an eclectic group of women, some of us friends from before, some of us fast friends from One Room Challenge, and some of us friends via social media finally meeting for the first time to discuss our businesses, blogging and everything we find fun and fabulous!
Left to Right: Beth (Design POST Interiors), Ariene (Dress My Room Interiors, Kim (Legere Creativ), Malloy (Charming in Charlotte), Summer (Simple Stylings), Sarah (Sarah Sofia Productions) and Lory (Lory Cobb Interiors).
I’ve been dying to use more of my Oh Joy Spring Collection and brunch with girls was the perfect opportunity!
You know you’re in the right company when your guests notice the Oh Joy Collection and all the details of your event! Only DIY enthusiasts, interior designers, and bloggers alike would get excited and request a home tour with details on the DIY stencil in my daughter Charlotte’s room, listen to me talk about updating my daughter Sofia’s room again, and know the details of my One Room Challenge Master Bedroom!
When styling any event I always mix lows and highs. Don’t wait until you finally host Thanksgiving or Christmas to bring out your good china, place settings, or silverware! I love how my new Pottery Barn Rope Outdoor Dinnerware looks matched with my Homegoods costal dishes!
The napkins and multi-colored glassware are from Oh Joy Spring Collection along with the paper mini lanterns. For the mimosa bar I had to bring out my Waterford champagne glasses, which adds a touch of fancy to any occasion!
After styling everything for brunch outside, I had to move everything inside due to the rain. However, that didn’t stop us from having a good time. We immediately started remincing about One Room Challenge and what room we are going to do for the next one! YES, we are THOSE girls!
As we ate my signature egg casserole dish, enjoyed biscuits and mini croissants with peach jam, fruit salad with mint, and sipped on peach or mango passion fruit mimosas, we had to talk about our latest design and DIY projects and of course the fun at Haven Conference that some of missed (including myself).
If you don’t know these women picture above you should. They are all talented in their own right!
Beth Barden, Design Post Interiors, is a Charlotte interior designer who I got to know through One Room Challenge! She makes it look easy juggling three kids and a full time business. You will be impressed with her style and work, especially her recent work on the Home Depot Outdoor Games Style Challenge!
Ariene Bethea, Dress My Room Interiors, is a Charlotte interior designer, who has her own Etsy shop, and sells vintage home décor furnishings and accessories on One Kings Lane and Hunters Alley and recently opened a booth at Slate Interiors. If that wasn’t enough Ariene launched her own handcrafted paperweight line and was thrilled to receive one of her pieces as a hostess gift!
Kim Loring, Legere Creativ, is another Charlotte interior designer who also has a booth at Slate Interiors and participate in One Room Challenge. It was a pleasure meeting her for the first time and learning about her trade!
Mallory Fitzsimmons, Charming in Charlotte, is just as charming and stylish in person as she is on her life and style blog! Mallory shares her interior design, fashion and DIY inspiration on her blog with all her latest projects! We became fast friends through One Room Challenge and this girl did two rooms! If you missed my post on my favorites from One Room Challenge, which includes Mallory, check it out here.
Summer Hogan, Simple Stylings, is one of those people you meet and you instantly connect and know you will be fast friends! Summer is an interior designer at hear like me and is always working on the next space in her home or design challenge. Summer hosted some of us local Charlotte One Room Challenge participates on her finished deck, see details from my previous post here, and this group was formed! She is currently participating in Home Depot Outdoor Games Style Challenge and has some great design ideas!
Lory Cobb, Lory Cobb Interiors, is one of the first friends I made when moving back to Charlotte and has become a close friend. Like me, she has two kids, and owns her own business, an interior design firm, here in Charlotte. She is so creative and has been a great sounding board for me to bounce design ideas off of. Not to mention Lory is usually my partner in crime going to furniture stores, flea markets, and High Point Market! One of my favorite design projects she did was of her daughter Hensley’s room with beautiful gold and blush stencil and trim work all around the room.
We missed Sarah (Matters of Style), Cheryl (Dwell by Cheryl) Bethany (Dwellings by DeVore), Jennifer (Pure and Simple Organizationing) and Converse (Converse Falcon Design).

Easter Celebrations
I love this time of year because everything is in bloom and my favorite colors are everywhere, coral, blue, pink, and green! I also like when Easter is later in the calendar, which gives me more time to really enjoy the holiday and be festive for more than a few weeks.
I always reuse decorations from years past, rearrange them and add a few more décor items. Here’s a photo from one of my previous tablescapes.
If you missed my previous posts on tablescape, decorating eggs without dye, and other festive Easter ideas you can check them out here: http://wp.me/p1s2CI-ca http://wp.me/p1s2CI-2b
This year I decided to decorate my front entryway, family room, and kitchen. As you can see I like using tulips and hyacinth because they come in various colors and look great arranged together. I love walking into my home and smelling hyacinth! This particular arrangement gives the tablescape sophistication and height by using both flowers in one vase.
Other additions to this years tablescape include these darling bunny rabbits that I found at antique market in Belmont, NC , Target’s sparkle Easter eggs, and this twine Easter egg wreath.
Happy Easter y’all!

One Room Challenge Week 1: Master Bedroom Makeover
Yesterday was the first day of the first One Room Challenge of 2014 for 20 talented professional designers to redo a room in their home or clients home in six weeks. Today is the first day for all of us interior designers and DIYer at heart and professional bloggers like myself!
One Room Challenge was created by Linda from Calling it Home, who is an extremely talented and creative designer. However, it was the talented Sarah Fisher with Matters of Style that inspired me to participate after following her son’s bedroom redo. Check out her room here: http://www.mattersofstyleblog.com/search/label/One%20Room%20Challenge
While the 20 professional designers will be updating you on their rooms every Wednesday for the next six weeks, I will be joining a crew who will be updating you on our room progress on Thursdays.
I will be working on our master bedroom. To give you some background, we moved into our house a year ago, 4 weeks before my second daughter was born. Having two young kids so close together and moving has left me with little time to design and decorate. That being said, we are almost finished with every room, except our master bedroom.
At first glance it doesn’t look too horrible.
However, if you move your eye around the room you will notice it’s not finished and the look needs to be pulled together.
Here is the wall to the left of the doorway as you walk into the room.
In order to give you my full plan of where I am going with our master bedroom I want to share what it looked like before we moved in.
As you can see from the above before photo the master bedroom was very neutral and modern. Where as the look I’m going for is shabby chic with a twist of modern using shades of blues, white, and neutrals. I want our bedroom to be elegant and tranquil. While my husband suggested putting a desk in our bedroom I had to veto it for this very reason. Having a desk with papers, bill, and a to do list is anything but tranquil and doesn’t allow us an escape from all the hustle and bustle of the day.
Here is my wish list that I would like to conquer in the next six weeks: Nail head on the upholstered headboard, fabric trim on the upholstered headboard, replace the broken beveled mirror and hang above the dark wood dresser, hang art work above the bed, find a grey or neutral arm chair to replace the current one, find a bench to put at the foot of the bed, add large print throw pillows to the bedding, and hang a group of small mirrors on the front wall or next to the arm chair. The one item that has been bothering me ever since we moved into our home are the modern wall scones. I’m not sure if it’s feasible but I would LOVE to replace them with smaller silver ones.
Now that you know where I am going with the room design here is what is inspiring me!
Love the look of this upholstered bed with nail head and fabric trim by the talented Courtney with A Thoughtful Place! I’m also loving the large throw pillows that pull her look together.
I have been pinning over this Carey Blue Storage Bench Ottoman for a few years now! I love the elegant but simple look and of course the color.
The grey blue colors in the above wall art collection from Ballard Designs would go perfectly above our upholstered bed.
The grey nail head arm chair found on Joss and Main would complete the look in our master bedroom by adding function and comfort.
I love the design of this inlay antique mirror set that matches well with our double white dresser.
Now that I have introduce my room to y’all I hope you will join me in this six week journey as I put my design plan to the test! It will no doubt be challenging but I can’t wait for the final reveal!

Elmo Themed 2nd Birthday Party
Like most toddlers, my daughter Sofia runs around all day saying Elmo and just can’t get enough of this Sesame Street character! Thus, Sofia’s World was created, modeled after Elmo’s World.
An Elmo themed party was the perfect fit with Sofia’s love of water activities to celebrate her 2nd birthday in style! We set up her water table, beach ball sprinkler, bubbles, and water guns to make a splash in Sofia’s World!
To make the party more girly I used red and turquoise with pops of white. This Elmo party inspired me: http://www.karaspartyideas.com/2011/11/red-and-turquoise-elmo-party.html
Since we hosted the party on Labor Day, we had our local favorite BBQ from Mac’s, with kid friendly sides of mac and cheese, veggies, and baked beans. Continuing with the picnic theme I used red and white checkered tablecloths for the adult and kids table found at Hobby Lobby.
I wanted Sofia to be a part of this creative party and had her paint the red and turquoise Sofia’s World sign for the food table. She also added her touch to the chalk board outside that greeted friends as they entered the water activity station.
One of Sofia’s favorites, homemade chocolate chip and oatmeal cookie ice cream sandwiches, are always a hit with kids and adults! You can find the recipe from my older post: http://wp.me/p1s2CI-4I Don’t forget Dorothy the goldfish, or in this case several goldfish severed in a fishbowl at the food table.
Of course there was a signature drink! Since it was a kids party raspberry and regular lemonade was severed in mini blue mason jars with turquoise striped straws.
