\
(Top photos by Angela Kohler for DLF, floral photos by Tami, the rest by me)

Event: Blogshop ATL (Check for a class in your area!) taught by the fun and creative genius duo - Angela Kohler and Bri Emery.
Venue: Big Studio (a stunning space in downtown Altanta)
Florals: By the talented Tami Ramsay
Interns: New friends Savannah and Gina

Decor Details: I worked with Tami on the decor for blogshop. After creating a color palate, she came up with the beautiful arrangements, and I took care of the following:
Hanging Ribbon Chandelier - I used three wooden rods tied at the corners to form a triangle shape, and added wide ribbon and crepe paper strands all the way around. It was hung using thick cord.
Fabric confetti - Fabric strips + ribbon cut into small squares and scattered along the tables.
Smilebooth backdrop - I actually strung three bright pink hula skirts together, cut a bunch of fabric strips and draped over the top. A little modge podge held them in place. Hula skirts are basically a bunch of raffia and creates the instant volume:) 

It was so fun for me to a get a little creative re-fuel just by hanging out with these gals. Not to mention, they are so laid back and loads of fun:) They put a lot of heart into their work and every student always leaves a happy camper. I would say its well worth your dollar to take a weekend to learn amongst the greats! Check out Bri and Angela's newly launched site here.

Meet the Blogger: Melanie Blodgett of You Are My Fave



Your favorite aspect of blogging?
The friends I've made online. That kind of sounds like I went to a chat room and met some sketchy dude and now we're getting married! But tell me, when you meet someone for the first time, what's the topic of conversation? Your similarities and interests. Relating to someone's blog and getting to know them online is just the initial step of becoming a friend. 

I went to a conference a couple weeks ago and met several bloggers that I've read for a couple years now. I even roomed with one that I had never met in person - and you know what? When we met we instantly embraced and felt like old friends. My mouth hurt from talking and laughing so much. I came home wanting all of them to become my next door neighbors.
