day-of details: emily + adam

Emily + Adam were married this past fall, and I had so much fun creating their day-of details!  Their wedding was held at Power Plant Productions in Philadelphia, and my friends at confetti & co. made the day gorgeous as usual.

Arrows were carefully illustrated on all of Emily + Adam's day-of details.  I love the black ink on white paper being made into something a little more fun with the arrow details!  Favor stickers for a sentimental chocolate treat were my favorite little detail!  So thoughtful (and delicious!)

Sarah + Bryan's custom calligraphy invitation suite by hello, bird.

Working with Sarah and Bryan on their custom invitation suite --and again for their day-of details-- was a total dream!  Being a part of multiple wedding elements is a huge honor, and it's so fun to get to really collaborate with a couple.   I'm looking forward to sharing more behind their custom invitation suite (and their day-of details) soon.

#14daysofsweethearts

When Maggpie Vintage Rentals asked if I wanted to participate in their #14daysofsweethearts competition, I knew without hesitation I was all in.  A chance to pick a sweetheart table built by Jason and pair it with their inventory? Hang at the warehouse with Maggie and Tracy while setting it up?  Yes, please.  

(Bonus: they had also recently added the Grayson loveseat to their inventory.  Grayson is upholstered in velvet in my favorite color, and tufted for days.  Swooning and heart-eye emojis all around.)

I knew I wanted to use the Chesterfield sweetheart table and Grayson loveseat.  I found some incredible sequined fabric, and built from there.  The sequins vary in tone and are semi-matte. I had some fabric that was close to the color of Grayson's fabric that helped me pull my favorite darker tones together.

When I found the sequins, I knew it would be a romantic candlelight kind of table.  A little over the top, but still simple.  (Simple glam - is that a thing that can apply to tablescapes? It should be.)   

I also wanted take a break from creating and focus on having fun with styling.  I created a pair of cocktail flags and wrote a few phrases on them, and collected some great pieces to put on the table.  Taking a break from 'making' was really great, and let Maggpie's pieces be more focal.
