Real Wedding: Emily & Andrew

Right from the start of planning Emily & Andrew’s West Virginia wedding, I knew this wedding was going to be one-of-a-kind. The setting on Emily’s family property in quiet Baker, WV was beyond picturesque. Then, when you add in the weekend’s perfect weather (in August!), the little white chapel, horse & carriages, a bluegrass band, a stunning tent, an amazing team of vendors and all of the little details - you have one very unforgettable weekend wedding in the country for Emily, Andrew and all their family & friends! I truly loved working with Emily & Andrew… we really got to know each other well on our weekends outings to the farm and they are an amazing pair. I wish them lots of love, happiness & successes in the years to come!

Enjoy these wonderful images from Kelsey Thompson!

Launch Party

I had the pleasure of designing Love Life Images launch party with them. They are one of my favorite photographers in the area! It was held on a gorgeous August evening at River Farm under the tent. We separated the tent into three areas to make it look like “living rooms” with hanging pictures on the walls. Each room represented Love Life Images company. Jennifer had the love area. It was super glamourous & sexy with crystals, white furniture and her lovely raspberry color. Mary had the Life area it was super charming mixed in with wood, moss and a nice outdoor feel. The middle section was Life Life it represented a little of everyone at this fabulous company and it was designed with a masculine feel. We had a lot of fun creating this party together.

What Planners will do!

True Story, I was walking from an appointment to another in Old Town Alexandria. I had some time to spare so I was heading towards one of my favorite stores (Banana Republic). Coming my way was one of the most beautiful things, I HAD to act quickly. I think I almost knocked the poor girl over. It was a lovely girl on an old fashion blue bike. Ok, so if your not a wedding planner you would have let the girl ride on by and enjoy her wonderful bike ride. Not me, I saw so many wonderful creative things with that bike. One of my awesome brides using it for her engagement photos, a back drop for a picture with beautiful hydrangeas coming out of the bike basket, leaning up against a tree as a couple eats a quiet picnic on a red and white checkered blanket (you get it)… I couldn’t let this girl ride by me. I stopped her! She was SO confused. I quickly explained what I intended and handed her my business card. I loved her bike what could I say! I thought she would never e-mail me, but guess what, she did! I hope we can put it to good use one day. This picture goes out to that sweet gal.

Style Me Pretty

One of my fabulous brides sent me the link to a heart stopping wedding on Style Me Pretty today. Seriously people, I’m a kid in a candy store! I couldn’t have it go unnoticed, so I had to share it with all of you. There are so many creative details (signs, tins, doors …etc). I definitely will be dreaming of beautiful weddings tonight. The very talented Jose Villa took pictures of this stunning wedding. He seems to be everywhere these days. The wedding was actually of Jessica Claire another talented photographer (you should check out both of their sites to see even more pictures). This is one of those weddings that will go down in wedding book history.

I’m tickled to show you…hold on, here we go!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rustic Charm

With Fall weddings right around the corner (where has the summer gone)!! I thought I’d post a few inspiration pictures to gear us up for hot apple cider, the smell of cinnamon and cozy snuggling. Fall weddings are so intimate and welcoming.

Posh Party

I have to give it up to my guys Christopher and Rick over at Amaryllis they really know how to throw a fab party! On Friday evening they had a great turn out for a swanky summer soiree celebrating 20 years of business. The party was at the new W hotel @ altitude. The roof top view was breathtaking. The affair was full of excitement, friendly faces, great food and dancing (yes, the dance floor was packed). We all had such a great time!! Congratulations Amaryllis job well done - as usual:)
