Happy โ๏ธ Year! ๐๐
๐จ NEWS FLASH: BE BACK IN 2023! ๐จ
Our books are โCLOSEDโ for the remainder of the year while we REIMAGINE what Unearthed will look like in the years to come! ๐ญ
When I launched Unearthedโข๏ธ in 2018, like most, I never anticipated a pandemic AND I never anticipated finding the job of my dreams in May of 2021! That last jump left me leaving behind my initial leap (12/2019) into Venue & Events Management with the Cannon Room. ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ I had gone from a decade in the therapy world, to the venue and Unearthed, to a whole new world in RTP! For the first time in a long time I have found myself fulfilled, happy, livinโ, and not really feeling the pull to hustle for my worthiness in the wedding industry as a Coordinator. Iโve hit my stride in my professional life, so I need to spend my energy there for this season. ๐งจ
๐ ALL that being said, this is a โธ PAUSE โธ for hot minute to flourish + DREAM about the future of Unearthed as a brand + business ( & I have a LOT of big ideas & dreams, yโall!) We crushed it for 4 years with numerous awards and publications, and we have a lot to be proud of! ๐ฅฐ
๐ซถ I am SO grateful for the folks that hyped/helped me: MY COUPLES! Ugh, so much love for ALL of you! for my start, for supporting my jump and all the introductions ๐, and for being the first gals to join me when I was growing, even my mom for helping out in retirement ๐, & lastlyโ my kueen, ๐ฅฒ Jess wasnโt there just for money, she was dreaming with me, cheering me on, and putting up with me even when my sugar was low and my mood was hot. Forever grateful for YOU and so much love for you, boo! ๐ฏโโ๏ธ๐ฒ๐ฅฐ
Umm, yes, will come out or dreamland retirement for the right price ๐ but for now โ enjoy continued photo archives, the dreaming process, and whatโs to come!
Slainte! โ๏ธ๐ญ๐ชฉ๐
It was all a dream โญ๏ธ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐โค๏ธ
We had the best day with you all. ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐโจ
Friday's secret elopement isn't so secret anymore!!! After 2 years of trying to plan and re-plan, Kirsten and Jonathan finally made it official! It was such a fun night, with prop-guided toasts, family shenanigans, and a K-Ci and Jojo/Christmas piano sing-a-long. Congrats to the happy couple!!! โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ

Insert OOO! โ๏ธ๐ Yesterday, I finished up my last day managing the Cannon Room, which is so bittersweet! ๐ฅบ I met & helped so many amazing couples through the pandemic storm, multiple postponements, down-sizing, cancellations, and hopeful moments for months to come. Thank you for trusting me with your big day! ๐
Although Iโm moving on to new adventures, that doesnโt change anything for my Cannon couples or Unearthed. We are rockinโ & rollinโ yโall!! ๐โก๏ธ
Unless youโre one of my May brides, I am OOO until next week enjoying time in CO with my brother and his fiancรฉ. ๐ค
Hoppy Easter from your favorite Chick! ๐ฃ๐ฐ (get it?) ๐ Is it just me, or do you think of sweets and sugar on Easter, too? ๐ Yum! The cake & cupcakes from Baylee & Mickieโs wedding were to die for! ๐ ๐
Hope you all enjoy this beautiful spring day & stay sweet to each other! ๐ท๐
Also, shout out to who I will miss tremendously! Enjoy your new adventures, boo! ๐ค๐

Want a quick, simple tablescape look for your holiday feast? Grab some fresh cranberries, reuse a few vases, and drop in a ome votive candles! I used eucalyptus but you can forage your own greenery from the woods. Afterwards, compost the cranberries or feed them to your critter friends! ๐ฅฐ I also heart-punched some recycled vintage books! You can easily pull this off, too! โจ๐ฟโค๏ธ
Yesterday was nothing but sweet romance, pink, & all the Taylor Swift magic you could imagine! ๐ Congratulations to Baylee & Mickie- the new Mr. & Mrs. ๐ Our last wedding of the year is always a little bitter sweet, but weโre so grateful for an exceptional couple & vendor team! Cheers, you two! Enjoy Disney & forever! ๐

ICYMI: We had a wild first night back with a huge storm rolling through having to utilize creative backup plans to keep the space and guests safe! While our decor, tables, linens, and all items were blown from one side of the tent to the other - we had all hands on deck (including ) to bounce right back with an alternate plan! & THAT my friends, is why you hire an event management team ๐๐ฌ

I'm so grateful for my team who has such a great balance of personalities! ๐ & I'm so grateful for my amazing friend + her fiancรจ Brian and all their support which makes such an amazing place. We love you! ๐

โ๏ธ Spent my morning at the bar! JK! ๐ Just admiring another transformation at with this library bar combo. ๐ฅ๐ I met with the sweetest November bride-to-be at The Victorian this morning for a consultation. I also took a little walk around in the quiet sunlight. Such a one of a kind space in our quaint little town! ๐คโจ

โจ๐พ Remember that table-scape I did that was such a hit? THIS is the cake from that day! ๐ is really something else; a total artist in the industry! AND, who lives in NC and doesn't love The Notebook right? (I will still cry, no matter how many times I've watched!) This cake was amazing and a great addition to our ethereal, intimate, boho-vintage wedding scheme! ๐ค

TOMORROW ๐ I am going to show you shot by shot just how I built this table (and what goes on in my brain while building and constructing) step by step from start to finish! โข Truth: I typically bring 5x more than what I need, but, such is the life of a creative gal! ๐

โข It's true, I'm here for the dress! ๐ Well, not totally because I am inclusive and love all my couples even if a dress isn't included but, I love a good wedding gown! Bonus points if it's ๐ I'm a gown hound. ๐
As many folks opt for smaller wedding parties, my brides often have asked: "will you help me that day get in my dress if my mom or friends are busy?" and the answer is YES! ๐ There isn't much I haven't seen helping gals get their dresses on, so, I gotchu! ๐ That's the best part apart the day-- with my team in place and on the ground working to complete logistics, I can step in to be there & help with the details large + small behind the scenes as you need! ๐ฅฐ You can to catch me in action thanks to catching me in my natural habitat ๐ & that gown weighed about 15-20 lbs. to boot! ๐ฅด

TEXTURES ๐ฟ
I have no shame telling you that I am NOT one who's into themes or palettes and asking that couples confine themselves. I'm there to take what's authentically YOU and represent that cohesively. Define, don't confine! โ๏ธ Textures, sentiments, your favorites, keepsakes, memories, what represents your love best-- THAT'S what I want to talk about when drawing your vision. ๐ค Pinterest is cool, but if I'm being honest- it can also make a lot of people less themselves if used too much (and a little too brave, ha!) ๐ In this photo there is greenery, velvet, porcelain, fabric, marbled glass, fiber, gloss plate, matte plate, wax, and metallics. If I described that outloud to you without a photo, you may think "lady, tone it down!" โ But when you see it all here, it's a composition of a layered forever! ๐
When had my personal wedding published, like 5 times, they really couldn't label it soundly. It was coined things like, "woodland vintage Irish fairytale," and that was just what I hoped for. Defined, but not confined. Open to interpretation! ๐
Look around your home, your closet, your history together- make a list of what you see + feel, and then let's make it a vision of unrivaled magic.โจ

๐ฟ EXCITING NEWS! ๐ฟ I'm happy to announce that Unearthed is now a member of the Green Wedding Guild โป๏ธ๐ is a group of industry pro's committed to the health of the planet and local economy, sustainability, + reducing the amount of waste produced from weddings. โป๏ธ
โ๏ธ What is Unearthed doing for the ๐ and the local economy? I always strive to source locally first, use digital files and contracts to save paper, focus on rentals and reusables over disposables, recycle + compost whenever possible, donate leftover food + florals when possible, and pay living wages to my team + contracted workers! ๐
It's not always easy (or the cheapest) to get everyone on board, but we're focusing this next year to educate our couples better, offer alternatives that are eco-friendly and locally derived, and support the community as best we can! It's progress, not perfection! ๐พ
Shout out to for making this happen! So grateful for this space and your amazing heart! ๐๐
