In honor of Lawyer Liz's becoming a Mrs. we had a little cocktail party. LL and I both wore Elizabeth McKay. I wore the Grace dress and she wore the Scotland dress. We are both very excited for the spring 2011 collection.
Red velvet cupcakes were on the menu.
I made the favors by putting pictures of the happy couple on conversation heart boxes.
My mom made her delicious shrimp salad.
Reese's peanut butter cups are one of Lawyer Liz's favorites, so they were a must. In the background you will notice a picture of JCW and myself from 1995 in Nantucket...boy how time flies!LL, I think all of the ladies may have had a little too much fun celebrating with you...have a great week in Florida my dear! xx

So cute! Love the Sweethearts idea.
I wanna know about the pink and green dress you have on in the pic with your mom and sister. Guess I was so distracted by the CKB the first time around I missed it...XXOO
Both you and Lawyer Liz look darling. And such a cute picture of you and JCW from 1995. I'd love to hear more about y'alls love story in a future post.
What a great party and love the Elizabeth McKay frocks! Her line is so lovely. Wow, you and JCW were sweethearts in 1995? You'll have to share that story. :)
You should have a side business as a party/event planner! Your presentation is always first class!
Love the Sweetheart favors... so cute!

New follower here! Would also love to hear about your own love story!
I agree with everyone else--I'd love to hear all about you and JCW circa 1995. ;)
What a gorgeous spread, and I love the favors! You and Lawyer Liz look gorg in the Elizabeth McKay dresses. The Scotland dress has been on my wishlist.
So cute! I have to say that I LOVE the favors you made. What a clever idea. xoxo
I love in love with that duck platter with the fruit on top. Where is that from? Also, is it silver or petwer? Too cute! Also, the shrimp salad sounds wonderful, you should share the recipe sometime if you mother would allow. :)
omg great idea! you're so great! xoxo
My mom has had that duck platter forever...it’s pewter. I am going to ask her for her shrimp salad recipe but knowing my mother its going to be “add little of this and a little of that”. I will definitely think about a future post of the EAS and JCW story. The pink and green dress Alice was referring to is actually a top from J. McLaughlin...it’s from a few years ago. I am so glad you all liked the favors I thought they were very sweet! xx
I found you while searching for ideas for needlepoint gifts for brides...such a cute blog! and looks like it was a wonderful party. Definitely adding you to my must-reads!

You two look so sweet and young in the 95 picture! Love JCW's long hair, I remember that style from back then. Can't wait to read about your love story :)
You and Lawyer Liz just look lovely in those frocks. What lovely way to celebrate! And yes, shrimp salad please!
Darling party favor, those sweetheart boxes! You both look beautiful today and circa '95!
Happy Forever!!!
What a lovely party! The Sweetheart favor is BRILLANT!
I LOVE The sweetheart boxes -- so incredibly adorable!
I think that would make a great treat at ANY sort of party!
The party sounds fab, and that is ADORABLE that you have been together so long - what a cute photo!
The cupcakes and the shrimp salad look delicious! And the pictures on the sweetheart boxes is such a good idea!
