I love their story.  I love the way he looks at her.  I love how her nose crinkles when she smiles and his elaborate proposal.  I enjoyed how laid back they were and how excited they were to begin their life together. I appreciated that they understood the value of reputable, proven wedding professionals. With […]

  The weather this past Memorial Day weekend was absolutely perfect.  Not too hot, a light breeze and beautiful light.  What better time to host a nautical wedding than on a traditionally lake-friendly weekend!? This bridal party was such a great group!  They were so happy for Elizabeth and Justin and excited to celebrate with […]

I was so lucky to work with an incredible group of brides this spring.  My calendar flowed from one great event to the next and although I stayed incredibly busy, it was such a treat to work with flowers and styling and sweet couples.  Immediately following Melissa and Lee’s wedding, I jumped right into final […]

What. A. Wedding. These two threw one heck of a party for their guests.  With 90% of Melissa & Lee’s guests coming from all over, they were excited to infuse a bit of Nashville into their event, which happened to be just about halfway for their families in Connecticut and Texas.  With a beautiful early Spring color-palette, […]

This is not the next sequential wedding I should blog. The next one should share the story of a sweet couple from Connecticut who kicked my season off with one heck of an event, logistically and style-wise. There are actually 2 before Chris and Meghann’s would be scheduled but I am led to write this […]

I love when a bride and groom are established in their lives, have experienced the single life and have now found their one true love.  I love when a bridal party is over the moon with excitement for their friends.  I find these couples/groups don’t get bogged down with the little details and that makes […]

Kristen and Walter are one of those couples you don’t want to see go. Spending time with them never felt like “work” and I enjoyed getting to know them as we created a picturesque lakeside wedding day for these two. Despite the challenges of turning 2 private residences into wedding venues, this wedding was absolutely […]

Fall of 2014 was absolutely nuts. I had 8 weddings in 8 weeks and with a full time job, I knew it was going to be a challenge. Luckily, I had some of my favorite couples lined up for fall weddings and a stellar vendor lineup for each event!  I kicked off my 8 week […]

I love when a mom wants to be involved with the wedding planning as a sounding board, but with the absolute conviction that the decisions are to be her daughter’s: the brides. A well oiled mother-daughter team can be such a blessing to a wedding professional and I was so lucky in this case to […]

The weather was perfect for Meagan and Dustin’s mint and coral gathering at Belle Meadows Farm. This police officer married his sweetheart under a white oak tree strung with blooms and surrounded by friends and family.  This sweet bride didn’t get bogged down with the details: she was getting married and that mattered most to […]
