Mark Meadows Didn’t Let a Deadly Pandemic or State Rules Get In the Way of Love

😡

On May 31, in Atlanta, Georgia, at the height of a global pandemic, two souls became one in the presence of their families, God, and just over 70 of their closest unmasked friends. How could such an event happen when restrictions in Georgia at the time prevented the gatherings of 10 or more people i...

This wedding was one of our favorites from last year.

Things have been pretty quiet around here due to COVID.

Never fear, they’ll be partying there next year to celebrate their marriage (an...

Happy Loving Day ♥️

Richard and Mildred Loving were jailed and told to leave Virginia for being married. Only 53 years ago, the Supreme Court struck down bans on interracial marriage.

“Tell the court I love my wife, and it is just unfair that I can’t live with her in Virginia.”

06/01/2020

There are never the right words, but I’d rather risk saying the wrong thing than saying nothing at all. I want to be clear that The Plannery has always been about inclusion and equality from the beginning. But I know that I’m an imperfect ally - and will continue to do the work to dismantle our racism and the white supremacy that dominates our culture and society. I’m listening, reading and also doing all that I can to raise two girls who will be far better women than I am. We’re going to take a break from social media here for a while and amplify other voices that need to be heard. #blacklivesmatter Image by @mongequentin

We’ve been pretty quiet over here, as I’ve tried to let things settle into this new non-normal. For a while I felt like posting about weddings just didn’t make sense - so much was unknown about the future of weddings and social gatherings, so much was unknown about our own little business, so ...

An Ode To Flower Children and Ring Bearers — The Plannery

https://www.theplannery.com/blog/2020/3/2/an-ode-to-flower-children

My daughter was recently a ring bearer at a family member’s wedding (more on that later!) - and it got me thinking about flower children and ring bearers. We opted not to have any kids at our wedding, but many do - and goodness gracious are they adorable. Children bring fun, whimsy, tears, laughs,...

https://www.theplannery.com/blog/2020/3/2/alicia-and-matts-modern-longview-gallery-washington-dc-wedding

Alicia and Matt's modern wedding at Long View Gallery began by throwing tradition out the window right from the start.  The couple knew they didn't want a "traditional" processional, where the bride is the focus.  They felt that, as partners, both were equally important.&

A silly 2015 exchange between two siblings led to an event that has since gone viral: a wedding in which the unamused bride was forced to welcome a very dapper llama as a guest.

The Plannery loves, loves, loves the Carnegie Institute of Science. It really feels like home sweet home for me. If I am not mistaken, it is my most frequented venue working as a wedding coordinator and/or assistant.  It is safe to say that every couple loves the wedding venue they selected

A Winter Wonderland Kids Birthday Party — The Plannery

https://www.theplannery.com/blog/2020/1/9/a-winter-wonderland-kids-birthday

My daughter approached me with a seemingly impossible task as we started to discuss her birthday plans. My almost 5 year old: “Mom, I want an ice skating party” Me: “Oh, ok, great! But you’ve never gone ice skating before. Do you think we should give it a try before we have a whole party?”...

I lamented the fact that I didn't mention velvet in my blog post last month about why to have a winter wedding. So this week on the blog we're talking Valentine's Day Wedding inspiration, and I righted that wrong. Adore this pink velvet linen as featured on Inside Wedding, photo by Sarah Carpenter Photography.
