Happy November, lovelies! It's been a busy wedding season for LBE so I apologize for the lack of blog posts. Lots of updates coming soon though! In the meantime, here is another fabulous signature drink for you. This is from one of my September weddings and boy, was it a hit! It's the tried and true John Daly. We served it in mason jars complete with twine wrap and green striped straws.

Hello lovelies! The holiday season is in full swing and I hope y'all are enjoying this wonderful time of the year! Keeping with the holiday spirit I have some fun freebies to share! As you know I am a huge (make that HUGE) fan of Pinterest and I came across a bunch of different holiday gift tags that were pinned from graphic designer's websites across the internet. I have gathered up my favorites and compiled a list of them below. Aren't these great!? I love them all, especially the tags with modern patterns like the first set as well as the vintage style of the second set. I hope you enjoy these freebies as much as I do! Big thanks to all the fabulous designers that created and shared these!
