welcome to the blog

Lately I’ve been a bit bothered by all of the “How to create a wedding for $0 while living in a tree and going to school” and “3 Tips to ensure your wedding is flawless without a wedding planner or any reputable vendors” posts that I keep seeing.  It seems that every year during this season, […]

Where did 2015 go?  How is it already January of 2016?  What happened to all the time I would have during the off-season?  Am I drowning? Diving into 2016 has been scary. With a rebrand on the horizon, a new website in the works and a total overhaul of my pricing structure, I feel like […]

“How do you do it?” I get asked that question at least once a week. How is it that I can balance a full-time job AND plan weddings AND design event florals.  How in the world is that possible?  There are days when I feel like that poor polar bear! First, let me say: I […]

I love to share my weddings and floral projects on my blog.  I’m not one to talk about personal stuff on here really, but lately, being an adult is hard.  Being a girl is hard.  Being a small business owner is hard and balancing a(n unexpectedly demanding new) day job is hard.  And just think […]

As two creatives awaiting the start of a busy spring wedding season, Meagan Fisher of M.Fisher Imagery and I were dying to do something entirely for fun.  After receiving a copy of The Flower Recipe from my sister for Christmas, I’ve spent lots of time flipping through those pages and daydreaming about flowers and beautiful […]

This week has been pretty crappy; full of frustration, tears and disappointment.  Sometimes, it’s hard to find the silver lining. I recently read “Silver Linings Playbook” and was encouraged by how positive Pat remained, despite his trials, setbacks and challenges.  It is upon the heels of this recent read that I am able to remain […]

It’s hard to believe that 2010 is coming to an end: The holidays snuck up on us and wedding season 2011 is right around the corner!  We have some exciting new changes and ventures for 2011 and we are both eager to get started!  Because I’m a “list” person, what better way for me to […]

I’m so excited to share! A few weeks ago, Clay and I met up with our sweet friend Amber of Lotus Blossom Photography for a fun, fall photo shoot.  We had so much fun and Amber had wonderful ideas!  We traipsed around downtown Murfreesboro, searching out funky brick walls and goofy photo ops and even brought Chester along!  […]

We had an incredibly productive Sunday working on our house.  My parents came up and brought all of our wedding gifts (yes, we’ve been married almost 3 years and have yet to use our wedding gifts) and helped us dust, mop, vacuum and clean up some.  We hung blinds, built our kitchen island, and installed our new refrigerator!   It’s […]

This week has been pretty rough!  We spent the weekend out of town and I always find it hard to recoup or function Monday after being away.  I spent yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon and evening at the Cookeville Regional Medical Center with my sister in the ER.  Her blood sugar bottomed out and she blacked out, falling […]
