an auburn wedding

This wedding is a very tasteful way to say War Eagle at your wedding. The groom is the son of one of my mom's good friends and I really loved the images and wanted to share. By T2 Photography.

liz & sergio at the foundry

yesterday i did the flowers for liz & sergio's wedding ceremony & reception. i did a few flowers for their civil ceremony back in november, and their formal ceremony & reception this weekend were a lot of fun to incorporate some more spring-ish flowers into. i was excited to work at the foundry  - it is such a beautiful venue. sadly everything was such a whirlwind that i was only able to snap a few photos on my way out, but here are some:

oh, and holly did calligraphy for their escort cards - they looked so great! (sorry i didn't get more pictures, holly!)

pie flags

I made these little flags for a wedding this weekend. I think they are such 

a sweet little detail.

This bracelet from Kate Spade is too cute!

I am loving this new invite design I just did for a Kentucky bride...it is going to be letterpressed too...

Hidden behind my church are some of the most beautiful rose bushes. Here are a few pictures I took of them the other day...

map making

Today, I created some maps for a few April weddings...

last week's mockup

last weekend i put together a centerpiece mockup for liz & sergio's wedding reception which is happening in less than 2 weeks now. i'm pretty excited about using a combination of loose succulents, botanica candles, and a sliced-up 60 lb birch log that i had the pleasure of toting to red hook a few weeks ago.

here's a few photos of the mockup all together:

this little hellebore was freckled perfection:

and these crazy ranunculus kids that were part of it have just kept getting prettier and prettier all week... love.

holleeanne reunion!

LeeAnne and I had so much fun hanging out in New York Saturday! We started out by having breakfast at our favorite Clinton Street Bakery, then spent the afternoon exploring Brooklyn Heights and finished the night with pizza at Grimaldi's and a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. Here are some pictures of our adventure...

shane and the franklin fountain

Charlton and I just got back from a grand tour through the northeast. One of my favorite parts of the trip was a visit to Shane Confectionery and the Franklin Fountain in Old Town, Philadelphia.


Both stores are owned by two brothers who have a love of history and express it in such a unique way through their business. The stores take you back into time with a product that is most delightful. The ice cream I had at Franklin Fountain was the best ice cream I had ever had! At Shane, I tried a sampling of cream filled eggs which were very delicious. The store was beautiful and had many specialty candies to choose from.

I highly recommend a visit to both shops, they sit together on one hundreed block of  Market Street.

My camera died so I did not get any pictures of my own, these are from the facebook page of the two shops.
