The Best of 2016

December 28, 2016 · Leave a Comment

Monthly Reflections | AugustWhat a year 2016 has been. In general it hasn’t been the best of years for the world, and personally it’s been a rough one for me as well, but for the Dreamery it’s been a year of much growth and success. When I look back to when I first started this blog and officially decided to pursue my dream of owning my own event planning and dessert business I couldn’t be more proud of where I am. There is still definitely room for so much more growth and success, and I’m looking forward to putting in the work to get there, including a website redesign and other projects. 2016 brought a large wedding, my cousin’s baby shower, many adorable 1st birthdays and lots of amazing business and client connections, as well as en extremely busy holiday season!A Light & Warm Thanksgiving Foraged Centerpiece | Dreamery EventsThe blog featured plenty of beautiful wedding and party inspiration, planning guides and tips and tricks. I upped my DIY game, which was one of my goals for the year, and plan on even more fun projects soon. You guys also loved the Inspiring Words series, which I’m sorry I didn’t do more of, but don’t worry I have many beautiful, empowering and motivating phrases that have helped me throughout the year, that I’m sure will be a light of inspiration for you too next year.

And then there was plenty of food, most of it ice cream. Seriously I couldn’t get enough of ice cream this past year, but I also began rephotographing some of my earlier recipes, and man what a difference. I’ve definitely improved my food styling and photographing skills, which makes me excited to share all the recipes I’m planing on making in the next few months. Jenny + Roberto's Gatsby Inspired Wedding | Dreamery Events The holiday was long and great spent with family, I hope you spent it well too. But now I’m having myself a little vacation, I needed it mentally and physically after a good two months of constanly being on the go. A new year brings a new start, a fresh clean slate, one to have new perspective and outlook on things. I’m taking this time to relax, set intentions for the upcoming year, and reflect on my life and the past year. It’s definitely been a creative twelve months and today I’m sharing some of your and my favorite posts from 2016. So here’s to a new year, maybe there be more creativity, more beauty, more fun, more love and more happiness…Traveling to...Lake George II | Dreamery Events

Dreamery Headshot_2020

A Lover of Nature & Kindness, constantly smitten by the simple pleasures of life. Travel fills my soul with bliss & inspiration. Flowers are my weakness, a slice of homemade pie makes my heart sing. I love the outdoors & live for al fresco dinner parties, cozy candlelit romantic affairs with warm fires & blankets to share.

I dream about these things, it’s true. Yes, it’s all the small details in life that drive me & everything I do because we all deserve to celebrate every special moment in our lives…

I love how they make a statement in larger arrangements or more minimalist creations, but even more so, beautifully grouped together on their own in lovely vintage bud vases. Spring certainly has so many wonders & simple intricacies that bring us joy, even if for a brief season🌿

If you want to go on a little mental trip w. me, head over to the the Blog to read more about my lovely sailing trip in Porto. Sailing is one of my favorite ways to explore a city🤍🌊
Always embracing the subtle beauty that saturates Always embracing the subtle beauty that saturates the simple things🤍

I’ve found the less I share on social media the more authenticity thrives. The ever-dream & idea filled mind grows & flourishes. It’s been comforting knowing that other creatives I’ve admired for years, both event related & not, have in part felt the same. When one creative outlet was paused, the other creative ideas that had been hibernating in the mind, quietly waiting for their time, began to shine brighter & brighter. Yes, it’s been comforting feeling that commonality in change & perspective...

But the one thing that’s never changed for me, is celebrating the beauty in the simple things. Giving a new home, a new form of life to a simple treasure. Those subtle everyday moments that are beyond inspiring...
