Gayle and Lee on the Lovewell Post Bridal Blog!

So it's a long story, but I've never actually met Kate from the Lovewell Post.  However, that hasn't stopped me from recommending her a bunch after I started my break from taking on new weddings. How could I not?  She plans gorgeous weddings, and we definitely have a similar design aesthetic and a shared love for lace and other vintage touches!  So clearly I was beyond thrilled when she shared Gayle and Lee's roaring waterfalls wedding on her blog.  For more on this wedding blogged by me, click here.  All photos by the incredibly talented super mama Images Unveiled.

Easy Ways to Make Birthdays Special

Birthdays are so special, and we only get so many of them as parents where we can make them super magical.  Here are some things I've done that had a huge pay-off with the little people.

Funfetti pancakes with candles

Half birthday cakes - because really what's another reason to have cake?

Jen's Owl Treetop Baby Shower

I designed this Owl Treetop Baby Shower for our dear babysitter Lauren, who was throwing it for her sister Jen.  All printables can be customized and purchased on Etsy.  

Flashback Friday: Bridget and Gerry

When Bridget first told me she wanted a red and orange color scheme for her glamorous Belhurst Castle wedding, I was skeptical.   However, she quickly got me on-board, and this wedding is colorful, fun, and full of glamour.  Check it out below.

Venue: Belhurst Castle
Complete Planning and Paper Goods: Better Together Events

This photo captures the beautiful summer mist that started to fall when their ceremony began.

I did their menu cards and program, which you can purchase here on Etsy.

Seriously throwing back!
