Country weddings can be low key and elegant, simple, rustic and still beautiful all at once.  Bright white spaces can be filled with color and smelly old horse barns can make the most stunny reception venues.  This wedding proves all of that. Jessica has freelanced with me for the past 3 wedding seasons, and last […]

This is a wedding day that I was secretly hoping would never come.  Not that Melissa and Tim don’t deserve each other or that I could ever image sending anything other than well wishes their way, but rather because I knew that once this wedding was over, I would miss Melissa and I’s monthly, and […]

In 2014, I attended my very first floral workshop with Kelly Perry of Philosophy Flowers.  She became the sweet voice of encouragement that believed in me, and pushed me to believe in myself.  I nervously signed up for her Team Flower Workshop not really knowing where I was heading, but understanding that there was a […]

Recapping back to the first part of this post, local flowers are always seasonal but seasonal flowers aren’t always local.  I think there’s a lot of confusion within those terms as many designers use them interchangeably (I’m guilty too!)  Here are some ways that I would further like to differentiate, why I don’t rely solely […]

I’ve gotten to know Olivia over the years as we’ve collaborated on several photography projects as she’s the most gorgeous model.  But there’s nothing quite as sweet as working on a real wedding.

My little sister just got married.  But before the merriment of “I do’s” there is a story to be told.  It’s a lovely story, a tale of two people who have fallen in love.  It’s a story of friendship and longing.  It’s story of patience and dreams that do come true. A little birdie whispered […]

I put a ton of emphasis into selecting the right flowers for each and every event.  I give my brides a few visuals and ideas of what varieties I plan on using, but in the end, plans change.  Sometimes I get inspired by something else.  Sometimes the color, size or movement is just off in […]

Just as the trees were dropping their last few leaves and before the blistery cold came billowing in, I realized there was a moment to be captured. They say that things change with your second child and I couldn’t agree more.  Time slips away faster and the days of being a baby are soon forgotten. […]

Photography: Katie Grace Photography On November 2, a new adventure began for our family. My husband accepted a new job. It’s a great job and excellent career move. However, for the past 2 months he’s been commuting 60 miles back and forth each day. The situation is less than ideal. The remedy is for our […]

Photography: Katie Grace Photography & Videography I usually love Christmas. I’m a bit obsessed. Sparkly trees, twinkling lights, snow, presents, dinner parties… yes to it all! But the last couple of years I haven’t really “felt” it. I feel like adulthood has officially checked in and the wonder is gone. It’s December 3rd and I […]
