Photography: Kelly Sweet Photography This is a subject that’s been pulling on my heartstrings for awhile. However, since wedding blogs are supposed to be this blissful happy place it never seems appropriate to bring up the harsh reality that even when you said yes, you may not fulfill that journey down the aisle. I had […]

It’s no secret that I love the water.  The sound of crashing waves and beautiful beaches are so invigorating.  It really is amazing all the beauty that God has put on this earth around us.  Beyond the obviously picturesque days, I love those that are a little darker.  Moody, overcast skies are so intoxicating.  There’s […]

Photography: Katy O’Dell Photography I’m often asked to detail all the flowers clients will see at their wedding – outline for them each little bloom. I don’t do that. And it’s not because I’m afraid of them stealing my floral recipe or divulging my deep dark secrets, it’s really because I don’t know. It’s that […]

As I was scribbling down that title I couldn’t help but think anyone who has a distaste for math is surely going to want to read this. And of course they’ll agree, percentages are tricky and problematic. However, this is not a full on math lecture just a little advice when it comes to wedding […]

This might seem like a silly post. Everyone knows how to RSVP for a wedding, right? It seems so obvious. But oddly enough, it’s been one of my biggest battles this year – gathering the guest count! Photography: Bradley James Photography So here we go – whether you’re a bride sending out those precious invites […]

Photo: Ashley Slater Photography I love ribbon.  It’s actually really embarrassing how much ribbon I have stashed away in my basement.  I could wrap Christmas presents for years before running out.  But as with most things, my styles and preferences change and so I find myself favoring one particular type at a time, leaving the […]

I have something that I like to refer to as my Wedding Bucket List.  This basically means that there are certain vendors that I long to work with, venues that I’m dying to design in and floral combinations that make me so weak in the knees that if I were able to actually hold them […]

Sunday I awoke to a nip in the morning air.  It had the crisp, clean and fragrant smell of summer with the chilling temperatures of fall.  It almost felt as though autumn was closing in upon us or perhaps I had traveled north to the place where my dreams often take me.  It felt like […]
