While it’s actually turning warmer in this part of the world, it’s time for us wedding world people to turn our attention to the fall. I always love finding ways to bring warmth and richness into a fall/winter wedding without resorting to the cliched and common aspects that pop up year after year. This fall […]

Oh how I love this wedding. I got the pleasure of working with Julie and Ryan more than a year before their March 2015 wedding day. I couldn’t have loved this sweet bride more. Not only do we share a name (which immediately makes me happy), but her way of caring about people and specifically […]

I had the good fortune to have been called on by Kayla’s sweet mother  a while ago about directing her daughter’s wedding in the spring. Janie was gracious, sweet and couldn’t have been a better part of my work life at that moment. I knew I wanted to work with them. I met with Kayla […]

When it comes to your bridal ensemble, there’s nothing that completes the entire look like the veil. It’s as personal a choice as the dress itself. Every veil has it’s own personality and will set off a different piece of the bride’s personality with it. Soft and demure. Long and dramatic. Edged in vintage lace. Rolled […]

It never fails – spring rolls around and all I can think about is how to have more greenery in a wedding. It’s such a classic design element and I love how it has become much more respected in terms of being a main design element. I love the earthy and yet refined feel that […]

Last fall, our sweet friend Heather Durham of Heather Durham Photography asked us to be involved in a styled shoot at a hunting lodge. Her vision was clear and specific. Southern, refined, rustic, beautiful. I was beyond happy to be part of the day. Imagine our happiness when we saw all the beauty unfold. Floral […]

Once a year. That’s when Dallas and I are able to take a for real, get away from it all, vacation. Since weddings happen nearly every season but winter, we take our vacation over my slow work period, usually the last week of January or first week of February. It just so happens that our […]

It was a treat and pleasure to see these two get married. I met Emily and Javi in the spring and I knew we would get along. Emily’s quiet and laid back manner was evident and carried through in her wedding. Javi’s attention to her was clear and I loved watching them interact. Fast forward […]

Emily and I go back to our graduate school days, when we were both students in Auburn’s MBA class of 2010. Fast forward nearly four years, to last spring, when she called to tell me about her engagement and ask if I could help plan her wedding. I said yes, of course, and was just […]

I remember nearly every piece of Magen and William’s beautiful wedding day because everything was accented perfectly by the setting that they chose. I had never had a ceremony at Heaven Hill (part of Russell Lands in Alexander City, Alabama). I was curious about how it would all work. It is definitely off the beaten […]
