Hi! This is Wendy with Birds of a Feather and I have a fun little tutorial for you today! What a cute idea for a wedding send off! They are easy to make and oh so super cute! These eggs are said to bring good luck to the person who’s head they are smashed over – how fun is that?!
Let’s start with the supplies you will need. If you find yourself crafting quite a bit like me, you more than likely have some of the items lying around already.
Carton of eggs (get the white ones, the dye shows up better)//Cups to put the dye in ( I bought these PAAS cups at Target to make things easier)//Egg tongs (these work SO much better than the cheap little wire one that comes with the dying kit – it is also useful for holding the eggs under the dye)//White vinegar//Sharp, pointy knife//Thin wooden dowel//Large bowl ( or you can empty eggs over kitchen sink)//Easter egg dye kit//Tooth picks//Rubber gloves//Rubber bands (optional)//Paper confetti//Glitter and a shallow container to pour it into (I used the lid of a mason jar)//White tissue paper//scissors//Modge Podge//Sponge applicator

more about kelly-”Born into a family of musicians, artists, soap-makers and sheep-farmers, it was only natural for Kelly to pick up on her own creative skill at a young age. At 15 she got her first camera and fell in love with photographing people and things around her, but after a while that wasn’t enough. After receiving a 35mm Canon film camera as a gift she began experimenting with all different kinds of photography; lomography, polaroids, etc. This eventually led to her collecting vintage cameras. She shot her first wedding for a friend at age 17 and was hooked from there. Nowadays Kelly travels back and forth between her East Texas hometown and her new home, Dallas for shoots ranging from family portraits, kids, maternity, fashion, parties, weddings, films & more. She loves to get creative so if you’ve got an idea or have some questions for her you can send an e-mail to [email protected]!“
Yes, we said it: RED. Why run from it? Only one beauty product has the potential to top shoes and accessories when it comes to pulling together the big day: lipstick. The ruby red queen will always be Marilyn Monroe, but no matter your skin tone, red makes an entrance. Here comes the bride: Bam.
I’ve tried all the big brands, and the top two by far are Chanel Rouge Allure in Excessive and MAC’s Ruby Woo. Too bad it isn’t Tuesday – we could’ve done Ruby Tuesday as the title.
Much love,
Jessica Elliott

We gathered a knock-out team of talent to put together this fun and sparkly New Year’s Eve inspiration shoot! The festive touch of sequins and confetti was the starting point for our concept – perfect for a New Year’s Eve celebration. Next, we softened up the look for a simple but glamorous daytime wedding with a color palette of whites, pinks, blushes, and golds.
Bows & Arrows created gorgeous florals that incorporated a touch of the unexpected in the painted gold log & vases filled with sequins and glitter. We kept the table setting clean and uncomplicated to allow the flowers to take center stage. Mostly white china and sleek flatware kept the functional elements of the tables cape streamlined. Sequin trim and gold ribbon, with a few scattered paillettes (penny-size sequins) added a layer of texture in lieu of a table linen or runner.
A final note on one of the best parts of the wedding — THE FOOD — from the lovely bride Emily:
When we started planning a Marfa wedding, we immediately knew we wanted Maiya Keck to cater it. Her Marfa restaurant Maiya’s is highly revered for it’s steak perfection and authentic Italian classics (she grew up partially in Rome) and a family favorite. As a RISD grad, she has an artist’s eye, so in addition to being mouth-watering delicious, her food is always beautiful. For our wedding, she paired local, seasonal produce (roasted beets, roasted asparagus, tomatoes, and peppers) with farro grains and her homemade baked breads. The main courses were roasted pork loin and roasted chicken Agro Dolce. During cocktail hour, her waitstaff passed champagne and hors’ d’ouvres that included endive tips with local goat cheese and a sampling of bruschettas. The elaborate feast added another joyous layer to our magical night. // My favorite creative element of the wedding was definitely the breathtaking dessert bar. Maiya provided colorful French Macaroons, Tartlets with Vanilla custard and fresh berries, Petit fours and small dark chocolate torts. Our desserts were beautifully displayed on an arrangement of hand-crafted vintage cake pedastals that I ordered from E.Isabella Designs on Etsy. A simple and elegant two-tiered vanilla and apricot cake with vanilla bean buttercream from Lisa Copeland of the Austin Street Cafe rounded out our sweet spread.
