Becca & Scott ~ September 13, 2008

What a rainy day for a wedding, but it didn't dampen the spirits of the bride and groom at all, they were just excited to be getting married. What a great witness to love that is. I used to work with Scott a while back and got to know both him and Becca, our love for Boxers made us instant friends!

Summer from SJO Photography captured the day through her lense and what amazing images were the result. Summer and I have been friends since grade school but this was the first time working together and it was so much fun. If you are looking for a fantastic photographer that you will have a blast with on your wedding day contact Summer, she's great!!

The couple choose the colors of chocolate brown and forest green and wanted to go with a woodsy theme for the decor. For the church I put together some tulle pew bows with silk green hydrangeas and ribbons in the wedding colors. The reception turned out lovely, the chairs covered in white covers with chocolate sashes and fall wreaths on the tables as well as some taller tree like centerpieces that I designed and created for the couple.

Bright Invites

AMB Paperworks did all the paper products for Kristin and Graham's wedding on August 15. Anne did such a wonderful job with every piece and I know she created exactly what the bride was picturing in her head. If you are looking for hand crafted products look no further!

Love this Aisle!

I just love this aisle featured on Southern Weddings.

Underrated Orange

I love orange, it is so bright and vibrant and I believe very underused and underrated. Plus...it goes with just about any other color...blues, reds, pinks, browns, yellows, greens...and it looks great for any season.

I had such a nice time working with Kristin and Graham over the last year. Kristin and I are friends outside of the wedding so once the question was popped I was one of the first ones called and hired on to help her out. Since Kristin was in Indiana for school her and I worked a lot together pulling the little details together, I was so happy I was here to help.

I loved everything that the couple picked out, the colors were fabulous...cornflower blue, orange and sage green. The orange and green just popped against the bridesmaids blue dresses. We incorporated the three colors in such fun ways, from the flowers to the centerpieces and all of the paperworks. Brillant!!!

For so many reasons I was excited about this wedding, one of those reasons was to finally work with Steven and Jessica Fox of Steven F. Fox Photography. They are such a nice couple and it was great working with them and I can not wait to see the pictures soon!!! Hopefully I will be able to post a few for your enjoyment!

Thanks again Kristin and Graham for letting me be part of your day, I was truly honored to be a part of the day.

Thirty, Flirty and Thriving!!

Well, I don't know about the flirty part but the rest is true. Yup...I turned the big 3-0 on Saturday, but it's okay, I don't feel any different than I did on Friday. I had a great day...I planned myself a party, I know I know but who would I trust more than myself to plan the perfect party? Plus, my amazing husband was more than willing to give up the control and hand over the credit card...perfect.


Friends and family from every aspect of my life came to help me celebrate it was so much fun!! My favorite detail of the day? I rented a cotton candy machine!! I little messy but oh so worth it, I found cotton candy in my hair the next day! All the guys...including my dad and father in law went out and played wiffle ball, so much fun!


My color scheme was red and turquoise and it looked perfect, I was thrilled with everything. Here are a few pictures of the details...of course I totally forgot to take any pictures with people in them, duh! There is one goofy one of me by the cotton candy machine though, don't laugh too hard at my expense.

The invitation...a little blurry but yes...that's really me in the picture.

Thanks everyone for making my day so wonderful! I love and appreciate you all!!!
