YAY! So happy to blog this next Spring wedding! As always, better late than never. This one was recently published in Nashville Lifestyle Weddings Magazine! Megan and her bridesmaids graced the cover of the magazine and I am so happy for them! This beautiful bridal party deserved it. I am going to share just a few highlights below, as their wedding will also be featured on Snippet and Ink soon. Can't wait!
Megan and Joe wed at the stunning Bloomsbury Farms. I can't say enough about this property and family. Venue owner, Lauren, is beyond easy to work with. She is the most gracious hostess I have met to date, wedding or not. Her property has beauty in every nook and cranny, it is where they live, work, love… and it shows. It made for the perfect backdrop for Megan and Joe's classic wedding style with southern flare.
Despite the 100% chance of rain, chandelier shattering, high winds, transportation failure x 2… the day was as gorgeous as ever. Literally blue skies above the rolling hills at the farm and a cool breeze in the crisp air (we got lucky with the winds holding off until later in the night). Their team of vendors rolled with the punches, making it such a wonderful event. I was so thankful to be there and apart of their day. Austin Gros was a subtle machine (ha) capturing every detail and moment so quickly and perfectly but also being as laid-back as they come. It was a pleasure to work with every vendor and watch this stunning wedding come to life! (All vendors listed at end of post)

Love reliving this joyful day! I have known the bride and groom for years (we all attended HS together... and yes, they are high school sweethearts!) so it was so amazing to reconnect and see where their relationship has taken them. They are so happy together + and I loved getting to know their friends and family. Especially the bride's beautiful mom and sister, who feel like own family! Can't wait to see where 2016 takes them.
XOXO

Let me start by saying FINALLY! I am so happy to finally get to share details from Anne + Garrett's beautiful Shady Canyon wedding. I went to high school with Anne and while I was ditching track practice for Sprinkles Cupcakes (sorry Coach), Anne was breaking records. I was so happy to see Anne had met her match was intentionally planning her wedding from San Fran!
Anne first came to me to ask a few questions about stationery and wedding invitations. She had found a suite that she loved, but wasn't blown away after seeing the samples. Anne showed me what she was looking at and asked if I could help her decide if it was a good choice or not. I was honest with Anne, as a friend and not a client. She was about to pay a custom price tag on a non-custom invitation suite! I told her what I could potentially do for her and we began working together. I am so happy she asked me to do her paper goods! Anne had a great vision for her wedding day, with the perfect balance of traditional elegance (family style dining and attention to their guest's comfort) with modern flare (subtle floral accents at every corner and signature Moscow Mules at the cocktail hour). Anne took her plans seriously, and proofed her designs carefully while keeping me informed of her wedding plans, which made the design process more cohesive. Her and Garrett were a joy to work with and I was happy to see how wonderful their day turned out! See all the paper goods and details below.

I know… words do not do this wedding justice! The Grovers (Troy Grover Photography) did an amazing job capturing their day. For their paper, VAD designed and coordinated their stationery and paper goods. Letterpress printing by Patrick Masterson, Calligraphy by Southern Calligraphy, Vintage Stamps from Verde Studio, Twine by Paper Phine. Anne created custom olive oil escort cards for her guests that doubled as favors! One of my favorite ideas yet, unique but still cohesive with bread at each setting from the couple's favorite bakery!
