Roxy & Dave’s Tilden Park Wedding

April 24, 2012

I’m finally finishing blogging all of the weddings I worked in 2011! Look for them over the next few weeks here. Roxy & Dave’s wedding was one of most pure-fun events that I got to coordinate last year. A food truck catered picnic in a regional park, complete with popsicles and killer sunglasses. Roxy and [...]

Karen & Stephen

March 26, 2012

I was going through some old photos of my parents last week, and came across this candid (taken by a family member – they only had a professional photographer at the church) from their 1972 wedding that I’d never seen before. Weren’t they adorable? My mom was 18 and my dad was 20 – they’ll [...]

Melody & Mark’s Brazilian Room Wedding

March 6, 2012

SO, finally time to catch up on weddings from this past fall! I’m going to try to blog all of the weddings from last year that I have professional photos from (and haven’t blogged already) over the next few weeks… going through them all again has been a great reminder of how much of a [...]

patterned bridesmaid dresses = giant yes

February 28, 2012

If you’re a friend or a client of mine, you probably know that I’m kind of super into patterned bridesmaid dresses right now. Some of my current favorite patterned dresses are from North Carolina based designer Whitney Deal, and I’m particularly into her Willow Dress: Also – this pattern (and will someone please wear that [...]

forget-me-nots and a skull

January 9, 2012

One of my clients has one of the best less-than-traditional engagement rings I’ve ever seen. I mean, take a look at this: Gorgeous, no? The eyes are rubies (that actually do match perfectly, the difference in color is just from the lighting in the photos the bride and I took quickly this weekend) and there [...]

poured votives

January 3, 2012

just a little PSA to say that this is one of the the best prices I’ve seen for poured-in-glass candles around (poured-in is easier than separate candle & glass by nature of less moving parts. they also tend to burn longer. whoever is setting up and lighting your candles will thank you for using them.)

highlights

January 3, 2012

a few things I really liked from the last week or so: these snakeskin print velvet flats from daniblack. which are as comfortable as they are rad. buying tickets for my next trip – Chicago in February! (because apparently I’m a masochist – it’s very possible that I hate cold weather more than anyone in [...]

A Practical Wedding: the book!

December 7, 2011

SO, my friend Meg, author and editor of the brilliant website A Practical Wedding, wrote a wedding planning book. And, you guys? It’s awesome. When I first started planning weddings five years ago (for friends, I had no idea at the time that I’d one day be doing this professionally) I read pretty much every [...]

it’s time

November 27, 2011

If there is one thing I’ve learned by working in the wedding industry, and by attending the vast number of weddings that I attend, it’s that there is nothing political about love. And there is nothing political when two people decide that they want to stand in front of their community and declare their love [...]
