Dreams & Goals

Happy New Year
Dolls !

We all have something in life that we want to accomplish. It may be a goal we want to achieve for the new year, to start a business, to go back to school, or to get fit. Whatever it is, the key is to work hard and NEVER give up. 

After losing my job at the beginning of 2014 Elegant Ambiance was born.The road to creating my business and trying to build my brand has not been easy. I had absolutely no idea how to start a business, so I began to do some research and got to work. WithIn 3 months and a little help from some close friends, I had created my website. Now, I needed clients, but had no clue how to get them. Of course, I started with friends to build my portfolio, but most of them ended up backing out and trying to plan their weddings and parties themselves. I also tried reaching out to other planners in the area to get advice and gain experience, but most of my e-mails went unanswered. I quickly found that starting a business would be a venture like no other. 

 We all plan our roadmaps to bring our visions to reality, but as we all know, life throws us curve balls and we must adapt to keep the dream alive.  No matter what circumstances we may face with our goals, we have to roll with the punches and keep moving forward. We must understand that we can make plans for our lives, but God has the ultimate blueprint, and we just have to listen and follow Him. Even if things don't go as we planned, we must embrace the the journey and keep opening new doors.

In 2015 my goal is to rebrand my business and I made a promise to myself and my supporters that I will NEVER give up. Dreams take blood, sweat and tears, so if one person says no, I will keep trying until I get a yes. If one door closes, I have to trust and have faith that a bigger and better door will open. It will not be easy, but I can assure you that it will be worth it in the end. I challenge you all to have the same mentality! So go out there, face the world with your heads held high and conquer the world!

Get Married Like It's 1999!!!


Hey Dolls!

If you're looking to have your  reception turn into a HUGE party, while celebrating your marriage, what better time to get married than New Years Eve?! After all, it is an exciting time to start new beginnings... New Years Eve is PERFECT if you want your wedding to be a glitzy party, filled with family and friends! Below I will share with you some ideas to ring in the New Year with a wedding.

Tablescape


You can get very creative with your tablescape for a New Years Eve wedding. Even though a big party is about to take place, the decor can still create a classic atmosphere. Some of my faves to include are clocks, confetti and the colors black, ivory and GOLD.

Bridesmaids Attire


The options are endless for your bridesmaids attire. You can simply have them dressed as if they were attending a black tie event; or you can spice it up and have them wear a classy, dress with SEQUINS that will transition easily into the night.  

Favors & Decor






Is it possible to have a New Years Eve wedding without a COUNTDOWN & SPARKLE ?! I don't think so! Be sure to add glitter to your champagne bottles and confetti on each table. Also, add a little pizzaz to the Bride & Groom's chairs at he head table.

Cake & Desserts








Put on Your Dancing Shoes





Have some comfy, yet cute shoes to switch into for the PARTY!

Invitations






If it's your dream to ring in the New Year, while saying "I do", have a New Years Eve wedding!

Tis the Season for Gifting !

Hey Dolls!

It's the season of giving and we are all wondering what gift to give that special loved one. We go from store to store browsing, in search of the perfect gift. Let's face it, it isn't  easy fighting the traffic and crowds of the holiday season... I think we all have at least one person on our list that completely stumps us and we have no idea what to get them. For that last minute shopper it can be stressful and quite exhausting! All in all its about giving , warming each other's hearts and seeing them smile on Christmas Day. 

While doing some shopping I decided to blog about it and share a few of my gifting ideas. *You may want a couple for yourself too*

Let's start with a gift for the makeup lover ! 


Every year I look forward to MAC's limited edition holiday collections. This year my favorite is the "Objects of Affection Lipglass " since they come in a pack of 4, you can split them up and sneak yourself a few ! In the collection there are 3 different sets to choose from: Nude + Coral, Pink + Plum & Nude + Red! 


These brush sets are adorable! Both are from Sephora and can be found in store or online! 


I love this cute little makeup bag! This is for the organized, girly girl ! It's only $20 from Sephora as well! 


These mugs are for the businesswoman/ girl on the go! This mug and travel is cute, not to mention they make a statement! These can both be found online at Ashleybrookedesigns.com for about $22


Do you have a friend that is super busy and needs to account for every second of her day ? These beautiful planners are perfect for her! The polka dotted one can be found at Kate Spade for $35 and the striped two can be found in Target stores for $9.99-14.99 from sugar papers.com ! 


These bagels can be a great gift for the girl who likes nice things! Both of these bangles can be found on with the Michael Kors website or Macy's website. Believe it or not, I snagged one of these for $40 on the Macy's website this past weekend! Who doesn't like pretty gifts with an even a cheaper price ?!

If you have a friend that is fit & loves the gym, give her a gift to workout in style! These items are perfect for the girl who has the gym in her daily routine. They're from Victoria's Secret and are currently on sale! You can get the bag for $18.99 and the water bottle for $14.95! 


These ear buds are a cute gift idea for ANYBODY ! If you don't want to SPLURGE on Dr. Dre Beats these are a nice and trendy alternative ! 


Are you a DIY Gifter/ Stocking Stuffer ?! These are homemade hot chocolate jars that I found on Pinterest and made myself! They are adorable and your family and friends will love them! 


Don't know what to give that "oh so special" guy in your life?  I saw this cardigan at the GAP and it was on SALE! 

As the clock ticks and Christmas draws near, let's keep our loved ones close and the true meaning in our hearts...

Happy gifting & until next time Dolls

*Pink Kisses & Seasons Greetings*
