Felicia's 50th Birthday Party

A beautiful Carolina Blue Picnic on the beach to celebrate a special day for Felicia's 50th birthday. She wanted a beach picnic to celebrate with her special friends and a charcuterie board to go with the fun theme. All blue and it had to be Carolina Blue.

Kellie from Boards and Moore called me to help her with this and she created a wonderful spread like she always does. She is the bomb! They enjoyed all of her tasty goodies.

Baby Shower with a few fun ideas

How about a couples Baby Shower? Some people might say “No”, but this couple wanted a Fun Baby Shower with Family and Friends. They don’t know what they are having so there will be lots of surprises for them come November 9.

Started off with some yummy food by A Nibble and a Bite with their famous Chicken Salad croissants, Cheese “Sammies”, Ham and Cheese “Sammies”, Potato Salad, Pasta Salad, Smoked Wings, Meatballs, and we topped it off with Deborah’s Broccoli Salad and Kyle’s Oatmeal Scotties for dessert. A delicious meal!!!

Then we headed outside to have a Baby Bottle Chugging Contest. Everyone participated with whatever they were drinking and then we put Ashley and Kyle to the test with how well they can change their baby’s diapers and the twist was they were blindfolded. After that, everyone got to see how close they guessed on how big Ashley’s belly is. 2 men were the closest. Finished up with a candy game and needless to say Ashley and Kyle didn’t do so well.

A Fun Time by all. Games, decorations by Main Stream Events and PR Firm!

George and Kayla East Coast Reception

George and Kayla wanted to elope. They had a special ceremony for family on the West Coast in June and they wanted to share special moments with more family and friends on the East Coast in October.

Family came from both coasts, as well, as their special friends from all over the world. Friday night reception, Sunday afternoon and Sunday brunch.

We had the honor of hosting their Sunday brunch and added some of their special touches to their Sunday Brunch at Virginia Beach National on the Green. A perfect ending to a wonderful weekend.

Oh, Kayla is Karen’s oldest daughter so this was a special day to share and create wonderful memories.

Gina and Kurt's Love Story - A VB Picnic

Gina and Kurt’s Love Story…
Gina wanted to surprise her husband and said any theme will work, "Just because".

We came up with a special theme and it was the 4th of July weekend, a Patriotic theme came to life. It started with a blue checkered bow tie as my inspiration but I wanted more so I brought in the American Flag, added the red and white checkered napkins, added some red and white candles, red roses, Patriotic garland and then added a few of my personal home décor items to tie it all together.

They brought their own snack and somehow Kurt found out about the surprise but they were both surprised on how it looked when they walked up to their spot. They said it was the "Best Date Ever - nice and relaxing and they didn't have to bring any of this down but just their sandwiches.'

Thank you Gina and Kurt for letting us set this picnic experience up for you.

Jannell and Marc's Love Story

Jannell wanted to surprise her boyfriend with a special romantic picnic on their 8th year anniversary. She wanted somewhere quiet so we chose this tucked away park in Virginia Beach.

We came up with a special theme for them with Marc's favorite color being Forest Green and Jannell's favorite color is pink. As I started creating the design, I was thinking of the forest and I brought the trees in the form of the placemats. and then cherry blossoms seemed to fit with the design to add pops of pink. I choose different forms of greenery to tie in the forest theme.

This was a brunch and did I mention it was a surprise? Jannell had a hard time getting them to the park on time because it was Sunday morning and he was thinking why did we have to leave so early. They brought their adorable Pug with them and he is smiling and was so cute.

This was a total surprise to Marc and he told me at the end he was going to surprise her several years ago, but she got there first. They had a great time and loved the picnic design and very relaxing atmosphere. It was a beautiful 80 degree day and somehow, they lucked out with a cloudy day so it wasn't too hot and humid for them.

Thank you Jannell and Marc for letting us set this picnic experience up for you.

Madeleine's 12 Year old Birthday Party

It was Madeleine's 12 year old birthday party and she wanted a beach party.

Well, rain was expected so we created a backyard picnic until the rain came then it became an inside party. When her friends arrived, they had about 2 hours of playing in the waterslide, games throughout the yard and a picnic for a beach princess.

She wanted beachy, turquoise, shells, surfing and some yummy food.

We created the perfect little picnic for her and 10 of her friends.

I can't say enough about the food. It was delicious and A Nibble and a Bite always does a great job. Her food is delicious. She matched our theme perfectly and it is all about the details when it comes to picnics.

We listen to what they love and then turn it into this creation.
