9.18.11 | lori + juan

...as if our blog isn't full of enough beauty...


lori contacted us at the beginning of her planning process to help secure her venue, creative team, and to assist with the planning process.  like many of our clients, lori lives out of state and couldn't return as often as she would have liked to.


through the planning process lori became a great friend.  we shared some really great times and some very hard times together.  it made my heart happy that lori + juan had the most PERFECT september day for their wedding at misty farms.


lori is so detailed and organized, she really hit it out of the park with all her thoughtfulness.  her fiance juan is from el salvador so lori incorporated some really amazing details for juan; she had their vows spoken in both english and spanish, ordered a sign that said "reciencasado" which means "just married" in spanish, and had pupusa's (a traditional salvadorian dish) served as a late night snack.


first of all, i apologize in advance for the length of this post...melissa from a girl in love captured the day perfectly...without further ado....


if you have never been to misty farms or if you are a bride planning your 2012 wedding at misty farms...the first half dozen photos of the property are pure eye candy...
 












my girls...zoe, georgia + ella...if you read this, you have captured my heart in a way that no other children have before...thank you

all the flowers + bouquets + boutonniere's were designed by susan from passionflower (they were GORGEOUS!)











lori asked each of her guests to write a note on a quilting square in lieu of a guest book...it was such a unique idea and turned out wonderfully!






the highlight of day was when all 100 guests chanted "courtney, courtney" in an effort to get me to join in on the group picture...and there i am front and center hanging out with my three gals :)





an amazingly awesome kids table!!!!


lori + juan met boxing and of course lori incorporated that unique and personal detail into their wedding...below are their r.s.v.p. cards + favors (boxing glove key chains)




this picture warms by heart...as a mother of two girls i can appreciate the love that is shown between the daughter + her parents
 



the s'mores bar was a hit!



this crowd knew how to have a GREAT time!

10.8.11 | audrey + paul

audrey + paul had a GORGEOUS october wedding on the most beautiful weekend we've had this fall. with the beautiful backdrop of misty farms and audrey's desire to embrace the natural beauty of her chosen venue, the day could not have been better. love and laughter were present from the moment audrey and paul arrived, to the moment the shuttles came at the end of the evening. every detail was a personal one, and i am honored to have had the opportunity to get to know and work with these two. nicole haley of nicole haley photography took the amazing photos shared below. she was a dream to work with and her images show how unbelievabley talented she is:



BEAUTIFUL bouquets from sweet pea floral design
  
audrey's wedding dress was from j.crew
 
 more loveliness from sweet pea floral design
 paul enjoys brewing his own beer and so the boutonnieres had hops in them to celebrate the occassion!

  i heart the reactions captured during the first look

 misty farms has animals of all kinds (horses, cats, chickens, dogs)...perfect for keeping kids entertained!

 delicious green tea cupcakes with passion fruit frosting from cake nouveau
 audrey designed all of the stationery + paper products herself
 during cocktail hour guests were treated to cider, apples, and donuts from the dexter cider mill
  
 audrey bought flowers from the local farmers market for the arrangements for cocktail hour
  audrey + paul chose to do a more traditional receiving line following their ceremony


the bartenders served paul's homemade brew during cocktail hour

 audrey designed these coasters as escort cards for the guests (how cool!?)

 i just love the endless amount of amazing photo opportunities at misty farms
