The time has come for one of our most anticipated weekends of the summer!

This Saturday from 7am to 12pm Southern Soirée will have a booth at  Pepper Place Saturday Market. Our booth will include sweet goodies like cake pops, a variety of cookies, cupcakes, and muffins. We will also have some great vintage home decor items for sale.

We are so excited and hope to see you all there!!

We have been slacking on our blogs, whoops!  It’s a busy time of year for weddings and we have been getting ready for a fun upcoming event next weekend! Pepper Place  Saturday Market, Yay!

A while back we mentioned the use of vintage pieces in weddings and that our friend Karen with The French Flea was getting together rentals for just that reason. Well guess what… they are ready!!! Karen has done a wonderful job creating some amazing pieces that I think everyone will love. We really cannot get enough of the work that Karen does and wanted to share with you guys. We have included a few new pictures from Karen’s website taken by Janet Norris with Robert Norris Photography. Great pictures and pieces!

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! We wanted to share with you a few pictures we snapped at the amazing Shoal Creek which we were thrilled to be a part of and was the perfect wedding to kick off the season.

The happy couple danced the night away while Feel the Beat kept the music flowing. One of our personal favorites to watch was the Wobble which everyone participated in dancing. Louise’s Cakes and Things provided the cakes and as always they were amazing. Shoal Creek where both the ceremony and reception were held could not have been more perfect. To the spectacular details of the club house to the friendly staff everything was wonderful! Thanks Amanda and Geoffrey for letting Southern Soiree be a part of your day!

Here’s some fun facts about Pepper Place. It started in 2000 and has been expanding rapidly. It is located at the old Dr Pepper Plant and Bottling Factory in the Lakeview district. All the vendors are local and at times you will meet generations of families all underneath the same tent. It is a great place to enjoy a Saturday morning with family, friends, pets and more! Yes you can bring your furry friends!

We plan to have our own tent for Southern Soiree at least 4 times this year. We are really excited about it and can’t wait to participate in such a fun family friendly environment. We are going to have lots of our baked goods, cake plates, antique window frames and more! Hope you guys come out and who knows you might even find a goodie or two! We know we will! See you there!

We know we have been a bit sketch lately but we have been crazy busy with what we called “March Madness”. It was lots of fun but WHEW! We had the chance to work with tons of wonderful people and will definitely be sharing some pictures, ideas, and more from our new friends!

Spring is finally here and that means Easter, yah! Is anyone tired of Easter candy? Were not, how could you be?!? We thought we would leave you with a touch of inspiration for Easter. Have a wonderful rest of the week with family and friend enjoying this beautiful weather.
