Kristi's Nautical Baby Shower

   When Kristen of AKA Photographs asked for Flawless Fetes' assistance in throwing her sister in law, Kristi, a nautically themed baby shower, we couldn't wait!
   Held at a private residence in St Petersburg, it was a fantastic party full of personal touches from the mommy-to-be's friends and family who couldn't wait to shower this little "Squirt" with presents and love!

Guests were greeted by some under the sea bubbles and goldfish in the home's entryway

The delicious food, prepared by AKA's multi-talented Kristen was a huge success! 

Adorable "Squirt" cake made by the mommy to be's sister-in-law!

 Kristi got lots of amazing gifts for her little water baby! 

As favors, guests each got to grab a bag of salt water taffy on their way home! 

Kristen & Lindsay had a great time working this wonderful shower!

Jennifer & Mike's Wedding 7.27.13

   I knew that Jennifer and Mike were going to have an amazing wedding from the get-go. They just had it all going for them! A foodie bride, (The Foodie Patootie specifically), a florist father of the groom, a gorgeous venue and a groom and groomsman surprising the bride with an awesome food truck during the reception!
   The day arrived and it was beautiful and so much fun! Friends and family couldn't have been happier for the couple as they danced the night away.

Mike was ready to go!

Stunning!

Beautiful florals from Ybor Island Flowers decorated the gazebo

Yummy honey stick favors at guests' place settings

Each table was named for a different flower to tie in with the garden theme

Delicious dessert table by Piquant

 The flower girl and ring bearer were total pros!

The Kiss!

Emily & Nick's Wedding

   Emily and Nick got married on a truly perfect February afternoon at the beautiful Palmetto Riverside Bed & Breakfast. Located right on the Manatee River, the B&B couldn't be a more stunning venue for a wedding.

The breathtaking venue

   Following their riverfront ceremony in the front garden, guests moved on to cocktail hour where they enjoyed some delicious passed hor d'oeurves, a drink (or two) and posed for the custom photo booth from Ashlee Hamon Photography!

Once the families and bridal party were finished with photos, there were toasts and a blessing from the best man and the maid of honor. The doors to the station based buffet opened up and guests were invited to grab a plate! Emily and Nick wanted a really interactive menu so that guests could build a plate that was their own individual taste. Everything was delicious!

After filling their bellies, guests took to the dance floor and cut a rug to tunes played by Roberto and the Flats! The band was amazing and everyone had a blast. Nobody wanted to leave the dance floor at the end of the night!

 

To cap off the evening friends and family took to the waterfront to give Emily and Nick a sparkler send off as the happy couple and their parents sent off three sky lanterns into the night!

This beautiful wedding was recently published on one of our favorite blogs, Pretty My Party! Check it out for more gorgeous photos and some fun details!

Lesley's Surprise 60th Birthday Party!

   Kristen was approached in April about helping Jim throw his wife Lesley a huge surprise party for her 60th birthday! He wanted a Key West theme so of course, we here at FF were excited from the get go! Nothing like a great theme party!

Lesley was truly surprised to see so many of her friends and family!

   Approximately 100 guests came to share their love with this special lady! Jim had planned lots of fun activities which included bingo, karaoke, and dancing to tunes played by Jacob of Music on the Move.

Lesley "singing for her supper"! 

Kristen created a mock photo booth for guests to get silly in.

A presentation of Lesley's life was put together and narrated her 60 years via photos, videos and music after which she and Jim danced to one of their special songs

Everyone enjoyed delicious food from Christy's Catering and dessert was Lesley's favorite, Cassata Cake, from Bernini's.
