Two of my dear friends got married this past weekend in “hotlanta.” I so wish I could have made it. Okey’s looking quite dapper and Leslie… well, she just has it going on!! They make the CUTEST couple and they are some of the most A-MAZ-ING people I know!! I just wanted to share this pic because I love it as much as I love them!
Here’s a mock up of their program to match their invitations (Blanche from the Classy Ladies Collection) and website.
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!
Here’s a quick peek at some invitations I did for a beautiful Tennessee wedding.
These are the inspiration pics the bride sent over… she’s incorporating fun aqua birdcages for the wedding decor. So lovely, huh?!?
Happy Tuesday!! I hope everyone’s having a great week. I just had a yummy croissant and coffee, so I am feeling pretty dang good! ha! Oh, the little things in life!
Anyway…isn’t this couple too cute! I think ADORABLE is the perfect adjective to describe them! Amy is a Georgia bride and wanted her wedding stationery to have a shabby chic feel and was inspired from the Save the Dates I did for Matt & Brittany. She wanted to incorporate lovebirds and floral/vine elements. For the Save the Date we went with a postcard with a nice matte finish. It’s super easy to then just stamp, address and pop ‘em in the mail! AND I love how her dress matches perfectly!
Her invitations will have a similar “feel” and I’ll get to share those in the next couple weeks.
Have a fabulous day!!
Wow, every detail for this wedding was covered! Ashlee (the gorgeous bride) is the ULTIMATE planner and it was sooo great to witness her special day and see all her ideas come to fruition.
She got married on her parent’s property in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania (aka Amish Country)!! Cocktail hour was in the yard with antique furniture from her grandmother’s farm and dinner was in the tobacco barn. Simply perfect!
Here’s a look at the programs… that coordinated with their wedding invitations I designed. I had so much fun at this wedding and captured a few of the details and some of my own personal highlights. Enjoy!
Here’s a peek at some of the “extras” I designed for Brittany Brown‘s eclectic ceremony and reception. I was in the wedding so I never got pics of everything set up in all it’s glory, but you can get an idea. Above are the ceremony programs.
The groom and his guys made the homemade salsa.. it’s Matt‘s specialty! Nice and spicy!
The escort cards were displayed in vintage drawers and organized alphabetically. I had three tent designs for the cards and the flower was a cut out, though it was too windy to capture. Just imagine. :)
Weddings are made up of soooo many details, so why not arrange them in a fun way for your guests?!? That is exactly what Ashlee and Jeremy wanted to do…well, actually just Ashlee. ha!
Isn’t this couple too cute?!? I took their engagement pictures last fall.
They are having an barn wedding on her family’s property in Pennsylvania and she’s combining the charm of the country with chic vintage decor. It’s going to be adorable! (more…)
As promised, here is the first of two DIY tutorials from the Lovebird Bridal Shower. This is a simple projects and a great way to use up scrap material. In prepping for decorating the shower, I put these floral collages together the morning of. Depending on the size and quantity of the collages you create, it can anywhere from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours.
Materials
- Glue Gun
- Adhesive Spray
- Scrap Fabric
- Photo Frames (glass not needed)
- Cardstock or thin Cardboard
- Scissors
STEP ONE: Gather your materials: scrap fabric, frame (mine was thrifted and then painted) and craft supplies.
Nothing like a couple lovebirds to celebrate a marriage. It’s an easy eclectic look for any event… especially on a tight budget. Most of the decor items are or thrifted or handmade (DIY tutorials coming later this week), though I got the ceramic birds on clearance at Michael’s. And yes, you can see the yarn daisies made from a flower loom I mentioned in my “Flower Power” post. I also designed custom thank you card stationery for the bride, a matching layout for the CD Mix favor and of course, cupcake toppers. Be sure to check out all the pics! (more…)
This was a fun Save the Date postcard for Sam Wyckoff. The front shows the “Art of Tying the Knot” (a fun play-off-words tutorial) and the back wedding details… (more…)
Brittany is one of my besties and my girl is getting married! It’s so exciting and I’m honored to be able to be a part of the big day by designing her Save the Dates and Invitations (and as a bridesmaid, holla! ha). Britt and Matt are so special and inspiring to me and those around them. They have such BIG HEARTS for others (locally and around the world). Side note, Matt is actually the one that asked me to go to Australia and it turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life. So, thanks Matt. :) Before heading back to the states, Britt, Matt and I took a roadtrip to Byron Bay (the best hippie town ever). It was so fun and after a day on the beach I snapped the pics we used on the postcard. (more…)
I am sooooo excited about this lady’s wedding! Elisabeth has ALWAYS been a huge source of encouragement for me, especially creatively. We went through the Future Leader’s Program together and I was in a position where I “didn’t know what to do with my life.” She may not know, but I always walked away from ready to take on the world. I can remember when her and Tim first started dating…and now the rest is history. (more…)
Ashlee and Jeremy wanted “kill two birds with one stone” if you will (that doesn’t sound romantic at all…oops). Let me assure you, they ARE romantic. Jeremy flew over to Australia (from Florida) to surprise Ashlee not only with a visit, but a ring!! Anyway, the couple combined their Save the Dates with some holiday greetings. (more…)
