Here are more pics from Josh & Sam’s wedding. I have one more set of the reception, but until then… Also, if you missed it, you can view Part 1.




This is my FAVORITE pic of Michelle and me! She’s sooo beautiful inside and out! The best sister-in-law I could ask for. And isn’t my little sis, Sage (below) a 15 year-old knock-out?!?!

One of my brides sent me a few pics from her big day with some of the reception design I did. I can’t wait to see more. Didn’t she look beautiful?!?

It’s only taken me forever and a day, but I finally started going through the pictures from my beautiful sister‘s wedding. I was a bridesmaid, so this is more of a “behind the sense” look at her special day. Sam & Josh got married in Winchester, Virginia at Hunting Ridge Retreat (where my brother & sister-in-law live and work).
You may remember her invitations and engagement pics I previously shared. My mom did all the decor (and catering!!)… yes, she is super-human at times. It turned out to be a magical evening!

Last summer I was thrifting while vacationing in historic Williamsburg, Virginia. Five scrapbooks had been dropped off and I noticed the cashier flipping through them. I instantly knew these were a priceless treasure.
She actually refused to sell them to me without talking to her manager and insisted that they are “a part of history.” I was persistent and called the DAV (thrift store) a couple times and went back the next day to get them. I was stoked to have them in my possession!!
I do wonder how much they are worth…. if you have any idea, I’d be curious to know.

Here’s a couple pics from Josh & Sam’s engagement session. Not only are they both photogenic and LOVE the camera… they couldn’t stop moving. Seriously, always dancing, spinning or twirling. It was too cute. More coming soon. Be sure to let them know how adorable they are!!

[A few of the Wyckoff ladies... Michelle, Sam & Moi]
Earlier this week I took a roadtrip down to Lynchburg, Virginia to visit my little sis… we brainstormed her upcoming wedding and did some vintage shopping. Downtown Lynchburg has some great spots… lots of these pics are from an estate auction house. It’s filled with ALL kinds of second hand finds! I got some items for Peacock Manor (my Etsy shop).
