Golden Girls

January 18, 2017

Let’s face it. If you were a girl growing up in the 80s + 90s, the Golden Girls were a staple in your TV lineup. DVR didn’t exist then . . . so you either made sure you were home for it or you had a VHS tape ready to you in the VCR.

If you can recite the entire theme song . . . Thank You For Being a Friend, then this blog post is just for you my friend!

Thank you to the lovely Cathy Durig Photography for the images.

Full vendor list at the end of the post.

xoxo … and, thank YOU for being a friend.

Anna + Jonathan’s Southern Wedding

November 8, 2016

Happy Tuesday, Friends!!

I am so excited to share the beautiful images from Anna and Jonathan’s Duke Mansion Wedding! The inspiration for this wedding stemmed from one of the brides’ favorite trees / flowers … the magnolia. The planner for this soiree was none other than the beautiful Anne Markey, owner of Favor Me Events. As with any outdoor wedding, weather was a slight concern. I love that the bride and groom decided to bury a bottle of bourbon … which is an old southern tradition to help keep the weather in the bride and groom’s favor. Check out this old tale {here}.
