Looking for a lil something extra for your cocktail?? Well we have found the answer….The Lollistraw!! Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, this is a real straw! Not only does it add a touch of color but a sweet piece of candy for your guests to enjoy. It is available in 4 lip smackin’ flavors: cherry, strawberry, green apple and carmel. So slurp away!
First of all, apologies for I.V.Y. being M.I.A. on the blog. As I am sure you can guess, fall is a busy time for weddings and as much as Ivy and the IRW&E loves blogging and twittering, our brides and grooms come first!
Even though Ivy’s been dashing all over the place putting finishing touches on an upcoming Maui wedding and just returned from a FAM trip (more details to come!) in Costa Rica, she wanted to give a huge THANKS to Southern Weddings Magazine for letting her be a part of their cover story ” 60 Ways to Have a Southern Wedding” !
Down here where the weather is warm and the tea is sweet, weddings take on a whole new level of excitement, which is one of the reasons why Ivy Robinson Weddings & Events made it’s home in North Carolina!
We are so excited that Southern Weddings has gotten its first, beautiful issue out on the shelves. Be sure to pick yourself up a copy (or three) and check out the expert tips (including Ivy’s) on how to throw yourself one fabulous Southern wedding!
We’ll have our eye on the news stands this December awaiting The Knot North Carolina! Why? Because it features David & Allison, who hired Ivy to help with their big day at Lake Norman on April 18!
Big thanks to The Look for letting us know this great news! We can’t wait to see the wedding in print!
Save the Date! The next License to Wed Workshop has been set!
It will take place February 5-7th in Charlotte, NC at the Hampton Inn at Phillips Place.
Join us, won’t you?
Email workshop@ivyrobinson.com and we’ll send you the application to attend as soon as it’s ready!

Did you check out that link to Ivy’s appearance on WBTV Channel 3 in Charlotte? Well you should.
Here’s a few close up pics of the table decor that Ivy presented during the segment. Red and gray is a very sexy, sophisticated color pairing that works GREAT for fall weddings that want to avoid the typical fall colors.
Flowers from the farmers market make a great centerpiece!
Paper place mats and napkin rings made from $0.99 craft paper!
Metallic ink on dark paper makes a statement. Get a friend with good handwriting to do the names!
Close up on the paper pattern. Pop of color for pocket change!
The finished table
Did you catch Ivy this morning on WBTV Channel 3 in Charlotte? Yeah, me either. It was 7:30 in the frickin’ morning! Luckily for me (and you), they’ve already posted Ivy’s great segment on the web!
Not only were her ideas for decorating your next party SO COMPLETELY CHEAP, they were also super stylish: Red and Gray? Who knew! It looks fabulous. And now I am DYING to try one of those Cosmo Pops! Save me one, Ivy!
CLICK HERE to watch the segment!
Here’s a quick screen grab of Ivy showing off her table design:

Lookin’ good in red, Ivy!

We’ve been so excited about the great response we’ve gotten so far to our upcoming License to Wed Workshop on September 11-13! We are possibly even MORE excited about the fantastic group of wedding vendors and experts that have signed on to be a part of the event. We are bringing together an all-star cast of some of the most fabulous people Ivy has ever had the pleasure of working with - so that our attendees can pepper them with questions and get their insider, expert opinion on what makes a wedding planner GREAT.
Stay tuned for a sneak peak at who will be on the marquee!
In the meantime, have you emailed us to receive the PDF application to attend License to Wed? Why not!?!
