AART Event Planning wishes Rachael Lukas a Happy Anniversary!

So today is a very special day. It is the 6 year Wedding Anniversary of our very own Rachael Lukas!! And as a Happy Anniversary from us, we wanted to share a few details from that special day.

When Rachael got married this time of year, she was lucky since it was right after Easter. Her church was already decorated still and that saved her some money in decor. Plus, since Rachael and my brother in law are really allergic to flowers, Rachael made all of the silk flower arrangements, from the boutineers to the bouquets to the centerpieces, so the Easter arrangements in the church not only saved her money, but also a lot of time trying to create any altar pieces!

If you have been a fan of our Facebook Page and have followed are blog (which you all should be lol!) then you know that Rachael is the designer and creative mind in our company and pretty much everything you see in our design department AART Designs, has been made by her. So it isn't surprising for me to tell you that Rachael had designed a lot of great pieces that can be seen through out her wedding.

Rachael made all of the programs, her unity candle, the bouquets and boutineers even her centerpieces.

But my favorite were the Ribbon wands she made for the ceremony that were placed in a basket with a note that read: "It's time to cheer for the new Mr. & Mrs. Wave this wand and send them your wishes!" as well as her photo card box. It is special details like this that make any event memorable. And you know that we are all about those special details!

Take a look at the beautiful couple on one of the happiest days of their lives.

And now we fast forward 6 years where Rachael and Martin are still as in love as they were on their wedding day and have two amazing little boys! Plus lets not forget she co-founded AART Event Planning with me and together we strive to make it a huge success! 

Happy Anniversary to my sister and brother in law! May life fill you with many more blessings.

XOXO,

Aelicia 

Work of AART Event: Teresa's Baby Shower

What is not to love about babies. They are so cute and those tiny little clothes! That's why we always have a great time designing and planning a baby shower.

Teresa's mother and sister in law hired us and new from the beginning that they didn't want the traditional themed baby shower. They wanted elegant and sophisticated. Think bridal shower with a baby twist : )

The invitation started it all. Rachael designed an invite with a light pink damask, since 1) Teresa new she is having a girl and 2) you know how much we love damask! Accented with a light green ribbon and beautiful pearl embellishment, the invitation was just elegantly gorgeous!

The event was held at Varka Restaurant in Ramsey and boy did the food smell delicious at 11am! With the standard white restaurant linens, we went with a white orchid plant in a pink vase. The vase added a great color choice to the table and the pearl embellishment on it went perfectly with the invitation. With a couple added orchids next to it and the table looked stunning. And for another added touch, we accented Teresa's chair with a white chair cover, pink sash and a couple orchids.

As we put the guests gifts in one corner, they were able to put their wishing well gifts in a wicker baby carriage that was anchored next to the beautiful cake. How adorable is that baby under a blanket on top!

When the party was over, each guest walked away with adorable "World's Gratest Mom" cheese grater from Best Baby Shower.com. How cute are they!

We hope Teresa enjoyed her shower and cannot wait to see her little princess when she arrives : )

XOXO,

Aelicia & Rachael

Work of AART Event: Lidia's 1st Birthday!!

We had such an amazing time planning our client's daughter Lidia's first birthday! Since Lidia was born close to Easter, a Spring/Easter theme was a given. Rachael designed an amazing invitation that started it all. Elegant swirls with pastel eggs hanging from them and a picture of the birthday girl on the other side for guests to keep!

The party was held at the Italian-American Club in Clifton and let me tell you the space is a great size for a wedding! The room is large, it has a full kitchen, a stage and it's own side room with a bar. As guests walked up the stairs, there was a table set up with Lidia's newborn and 12 month photo along with some bunny ears for the boys and girls. The tables had white, pink and purple linens and the centerpieces were branches with hanging eggs and pictures of the birthday girl created by our very own design department AART Designs.

Once dinner was out, guests were greeted by the Easter Bunny and all the kids were able to take pictures with him with their very own bunny ears. Following pictures, the Easter Bunny walked around with the kids and helped them find eggs during the egg hunt. Following the egg hunt, Lisa from Parties for Peanuts, Inc provided face painting and balloon animals for all the kids which was a huge hit!

Then it was time for the best part, dessert! We had provided a candy buffet, the beautiful Happy Birthday Banner and the amazing matching 12 month photo banner that went behind the buffet. Our good friend Tippy Woodard from Hey Sweet Cakes created the AMAZING bunny cake. The bunny in the basket looked so real we just wanted to snuggle with it! And the birthday girl had a fun time with the bunny as her smash cake. Guests were also treated with cake and egg pops and bunny and carrot cookies from our friend Valerie Cerciello. Yum! We love how the swirls on the cake pops and the eggs on the actual cake all matched and went together with the swirls on the invitation! There was also a juice stand for the kids, a cotton candy machine and snow cones! Just another way that small details are everything : )

When the party was over, the kids not only went home with a goodie bag of candy, but also a customized color book made by us!

We had so much fun planning and designing this special first birthday and we hope that Lidia, and her mommy and daddy, had as much fun as we did!
