The Sweetest Occasion

Ok, friends, it’s confession time. I’m a little tired this week. By a little, I mean a lot. As I mentioned on Monday, we closed on our new house this week and since then life has been a haze of ripping out old carpet, painting, pulling up tack strips and getting far less sleep than [...]

When I saw this pretty spring garden party designed by the talented lady behind imprintables, I knew I had to share – it’s like a breath of fresh air in the midst of what is starting to feel like an impossibly long, cold winter. While this party was designed to celebrate a Christening, I think [...]

Good morning, friends! I hope everyone had a great weekend and a very happy Valentine’s Day. To kick the week off I thought I’d start the morning with something pretty and share some of the lovely pink details that have been catching my eye lately.

The vision was for a pretty winter wedding with an afternoon reception with champagne and delicious treats galore. I worked out the color palette and details inspired by Ami’s inspiration board and from there picked a few details [...]

Back in December, I posted a beautiful photo from Twigs & Honey – I found the colors completely inspiring and, as it turns out, so did Ami of Elizabeth Anne Designs. After a bit of brainstorming and a lot of shared inspiration, one thing led to another and we decide to run with our mutual love [...]

I came across these cute semi-DIY will you be my bridesmaids cards over the weekend and knew I had to share them for those of you looking for a cute way to ask your best ladies to stand up for you on your wedding day. I love this approach of combining a ready-made card (in [...]

When the incredibly lovely Anne of The City Sage posted photos from her wedding on Friday, I knew I had to share. Luckily, Anne was a doll and sent over some photos so I could give you a little taste of all the pretty details she created. My favorite part of this wedding is the [...]
