coming soon: #14daysofsweethearts

Are you following Maggpie Vintage Rentals on Instagram yet? 

Starting February 1st, they'll be sharing sneak peeks of one sweetheart table a day until Valentine's Day.  I had fun visiting the warehouse + setting up a table using some of my absolute favorite pieces from their warehouse (and a few other pieces).

I can't wait to share more of my table, and see the other tables by some talented vendors!

 Voting will be tallied from their Instagram account only on February 15 & 16, so go hit that 'follow' button!

Day-of Details: Casey + Justin

Congratulations to Casey + Justin!  The happy couple said their vows in Virginia in the fall, and I had such a great time working on their day-of details.  Casey and Justin's day-of details included menus for each place setting, and a signature cocktail bar menu.   

Casey mentioned that they were incorporating a teal scalloped pattern and gold into their details (including Justin's pocket square- so dapper!) and wanted to work that into the menus.  I created a scalloped background, and wrote their menu by hand.  My handwriting was scanned in and placed over the teal scalloped pattern.  After the menus were printed, I added their names and wedding date at the top of each menu in gold ink.

Casey and Justin had two great signature cocktails created for their wedding - the Daywalker and the Unladen Swallow.  For their signature cocktail menu, they wanted to include watercolor illustrations of each drink.  

To help me with the visuals, Casey + Justin sent over photos of each drink- including the glasses and serving details that would be used on their wedding day!  The prep for those incredible reference photos and the cocktail testing sounds like a fun afternoon, doesn't it?

Casey + Justin's wedding was beautifully photographed by Ashley Peterson Photography.  Thanks again, Ashley, for allowing me to use your gorgeous photos from Casey + Justin's wedding. 

Casey + Justin's wedding has been featured on The Washingtonian Bride & Groom.

merry everything!

Merry everything to you + yours!

It's been a tough ten days for my family, and while everyone is safe and okay, there's nothing I want more than to spend some time with my family away from screens, emails + technology.  I am so looking forward to enjoying Christmas with most of our family, and hope you're able to do the same.  Have a very merry, cozy, warm + comfy (and SAFE) holiday!
