Certified Celebrator

bringing fun and joy to every occasion

Brittany, a recent Mt Juliet transplant, started her online business before the social media market of influencers and bloggers was even a thing; you could say she is an OG content creator. With nearly 100K followers on Instagram and a team of 6, she has her heart set on encouraging women to intentionally celebrate the people in their lives and build joyfully celebrated homes!

Who knew that a little over eight years ago, when Brittany and her little boy became obsessed with creating memories for him and her whole family, that it would turn into something so magical. Simply picking up a jar of Valentine's Day sprinkles from the grocery and put them on top of frozen breakfast pancakes would become a holiday tradition that her family would look forward to many times throughout the year.

From there, she started planning over-the-top parties for friends, family, and her social media following. She quickly realized she wasn't the only busy momma wanting to throw a party and create family memories on a realistic budget. Brittany is not a professional event planner… just a girl who loves to celebrate the people in her life by bringing them together around a perfectly decorated home. She encourages and inspires women all over the world to do the same by sharing her entertaining tips, parties, and gift ideas on her blog.

One of her favorite things is helping people think of fun ideas to elevate a standard event. Such as her post-Thanksgiving carry-out containers. She says, "Snag some budget-friendly single-use carry-out style containers and send folks packin' with pieces they don't have to bring back to you (because their name is written on them in sharpie). Budget-friendly is beautiful when set up like a to-go station sprinkled with seasonal decor. Add an adorable tag that works double duty as a contents label, and everyone will love it! We really think this totally trendy Thanksgiving to-go station could be a new holiday tradition! (Bonus – need some spur-of-the-moment wall decor? Grab an embroidery hoop from your craft stash and add a little greenery or maybe a couple of fresh-or-fake florals for a quick wall space filler!)."

Brittany's parties have been featured on The Rachael Ray Show, Hallmark Channel's Home and Family, Southern Living, Pickler & Ben, Country Living Fair, and Nashville's Talk of the Town. She has even gone as far as to publish a book, Celebrate with Sprinkles. Whether you're looking for entire themes or that one unique, icing-on-the-cake idea to push your next get-together over the top, you'll find it there. You'll also discover easy DIY party crafts, gifts, and tablescapes, delicious, "halfway homemade" recipes, and plenty of holiday inspiration throughout the year.
