Bloom Bash Workshop

Thank you so so much for the kind words about our Back-to-School Style post! The kids and I had so much working on it together, and I’m still pinching myself that I was able to work with one of my very favorite brands. They read all your sweet comments last night, and both had a little extra pep in their steps this morning.

This blogging journey has brought me some amazing opportunities, with precious friendships being one of the best. A few months ago, my darling friend Jen (we met online!) and I were invited to speak at the Bloom Bash Workshop, which was created by our gorgeous friends Michaela and Ashley (whom I also met online…a concept my mom still doesn’t understand!). 😉


I gave a session on decorating tips, specifically how to style consoles, and Jen spoke on the power of Pinterest. Then we participated in a no-holds-barred Q & A session on all things design and blogging. The two-day workshop was so beautifully styled and planned, it was like living in an issue of Martha Stewart Living.

The workshop was held at the picturesque Lange Farms, a Southern-style plantation with wrap-around porch, rustic barn, and towering oak trees. Sessions included design, photography, flower arranging, calligraphy, and small-business tips, then we had hands-on instruction for styling and shooting a mock wedding. There was even a horse!

I was honored to be included amongst these talented ladies, and left the workshop so creatively inspired! You can see more pics from this gorgeous two-day event here, and find details on the next Bloom Workshop in San Clemente here.

Don’t you feel like spending the day on that porch with a big glass of sweet tea?!

    You and Jen could be sisters, you both have the same zest for combining outfits and you both look great in bright pink lipstick. What a fun event. I'd love to learn how to put together flowers like that.

    Cassie, you are seriously adorable and I have gotten much inspiration from you to mix and match things I already own…and make some new purchases. I am in love with Jen's striped shirt and floral skirt, do you have any idea where she got them or where I could find similar items this season? Thanks!

      Thanks so much!! Funny you say that, Jen was wearing my shirt! 🙂 It's from Old Navy several years ago, and her skirt is an old J.Crew Factory…but I know you can find similar of both at J.Crew Factory now!! xo
