Give me all the happy, vibrant colors, please! This leafy green velvet linen was the perfect backdrop for some of Margaret & Donald’s guest dinner tables (I almost always use three linens in a reception design for a multitude of reasons!), and the bold golden yellow patterned china, textured white linen napkins, gold flatware, wildflower menus & place cards, colorful taper candles, and lush, color-blocked rainbow of Springtime blooms made for a gorgeous reception, if I do say so myself! There was so much laughter, heartfelt conversation, joy, and new memories made around these dinner tables, all accompanied by a delicious meal. What an unforgettable celebration!

Headed back to Atlantic Beach & Coral Bay Club for a day of wedding planning & designing fun with one of my couples!!

Marie & Jock’s upcoming wedding is no exception, and it’s sure to be unforgettable!!

Still dreaming of this gorgeousness from an all-time favorite design at the iconic Coral Bay Club — and can’t wait to bring another wedding day to life here so soon!!

I cannot wait to be back at this gorgeous church in Morehead City tomorrow for a site visit & walk-through with one of my couples... which, of course, brings me back to this incredibly beautiful day as Lindsay and Christian were married! Their entire ceremony was filled with unbridled anticipation, unparalleled joy, giddy excitement, heartfelt moments, family traditions, and simply overflowing with love. What an unforgettable day this was celebrating a couple very near & dear to my heart as they were married!!

My heart for strong marriages runs deep, and marriage is a definite pillar of — and always has been. As much as I adore weddings & my job as a wedding planner, I know that there is so much more than just this one day. Marriage is what matters. A lifetime of love (messy, joyful, challenging, deep, & full of grace!) is what the focus truly is and should be. I want my couples, my friends, and my husband & myself to have marriages so much more beautiful than our wedding days. I want engagements to be filled with marriage planning and big dreams and deep conversations — not just wedding planning. I want you to know that there is so much more to come after your wedding day! That’s why I do the work that I do: so that my couples can focus more on their upcoming marriage than just on wedding planning. So that their engagement season is joy-filled and not stress-filled. So that I get to see huge, genuine smiles like this on their wedding day!

Carolina reunion weekend fun!!! These girlfriends have been my best friends since our freshman year at UNC back in 2005, and we’ve been together through it all over the last 21 years (how??) — more than half of our lives!

You know I had to go all out with custom themed swag, surprises, decor, & games!! I made a “She’s Not Here” logo (as a nod to the iconic He’s Not Here, of course!) for our personalized blue cups & hats, made tote bags & signage encapsulating our 20+ years of friendship, and we’ll enjoy Jeopardy & trivia later!!

As all devoted Emma M. Lion admirers know… welcome to our Thursdays. Welcome to St. Crispians! Welcome to Lapis Lazuli! You are invited to join in the alchemy…

We set out to recreate the wonderful, whimsical world of our beloved heroine, Emma M. Lion, with a circa-1883 costumed tea party that would make Agnes - or Aunt Eugenia? - proud!

A tea party fit for all those who love both Lapis Lazuli & Stonecrop alike, with sweets that would make Jack proud and nibbles that Emma herself would devour and bites that fine Agnes would concoct — all with a dashing portrait of the Duke of Islington — daisy-adorned! — in the kitchen, of course!

Join the Janes! In honor of our intrepid female readers who came before us, we all signed a copy of the beloved Jane Eyre.

Stop into The Dalliance! We raffled off a special book in honor of our favorite fictional shop.

Which gentleman holds the key to Emma’s heart?! We voted on who may ultimately win Emma’s heart, a topic of much heated debate! Might it be Pierce? Or Islington? Mighty Nigel Hawkes? We shall see (with great anticipation!)…

Welcome to The Cleopatra, even if you are a lady! We, of course, served the sludgy drink Emma first imbibed… and a much more delicious cocktail, The Emma: a paloma, which is a smidge sassy & sweet, like our beloved heroine.

Who would best be cast as a character in The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion movie?! We voted on the perfect star to bring to life these charming characters.

You know no tea party could happen without a little friendly trivia and conversation cards a lot all things Emma M. Lion — especially since we all dressed up as a character from the books, as well!

Quotes from the books, a map of St. Crispians, books from Emma’s personal library, and roses from the Reprobates rounded out our tea party.

There was, of course, a candle lit in the window.
