Maggie Austin...enough said.

Hey everyone!

I've blogged about my love for DC wedding cake designer extraordinaire, Maggie Austin's, masterpieces before and I feel the need to do it again. Every time I see one of her designs I'm inspired to create an entire event around it. They're stunning works of art, and I'll let them speak for themselves.

The perfect modern white wedding cake...

Amazing smaller designs...

Beautiful 2 tiered cakes...

White on white on white...

Unbelievable hand painted designs...

An unexpected black and white look....

And her cookies. They are so beautiful, I would literally frame them and hang them on my wall...

 

Are you as inspired as I am? For more of her absolutely beautiful designs, head on over to Maggie Austin's website now. And enjoy...

Finishing Touch Loves Weddington Way

Hey everyone!

I'm sorry for the short hiatus from blogging. I was finding myself with absolutely no new ideas. So you can thank one of my fabulous past brides for the idea for today's post. She texted me yesterday, "Have you ever heard of Weddington Way?" And from there, I did some searching and quickly fell in love with this fool proof way to find the perfect bridesmaids dresses. As many of you probably know, one of the most difficult parts of the wedding planning process can be finding a stylish, chic bridesmaids dress that looks good on all of your girls. Well look no further...

Bascially, the ladies over at Weddington Way are taking the guess work out of bridesmaid dress shopping. By putting everything in one place it's easy to choose dresses in different styles for each body type that look perfect together. They'll even send you fabric swatches so that you can make sure you  make the right choice.
So, breathe a sigh of relief, head over to Weddington Way now, and happy shopping!

Hey everyone!

Another of our fabulous weddings was featured yesterday on The Wedding Post. This wedding will always hold a special place in my heart, because there were heartfelt details woven throughout the entire day.

Marion & Clark were married last April in the bride's hometown of Newport, Arkansas and each and every aspect of the wedding had some sort of family history or meaning behind it. For all of the gorgeous details, and family heirlooms head over to the Wedding Post now!

Kaylen & Patrick's Little Rock Wedding: Portraits

Congratulations again to Mr. & Mrs. Lewis!
These are just a few of my favorite portraits of their day. Such a beautiful couple with a beautiful life ahead of them...

Eli Murray Photography did a beautiful job capturing the special moments of their day along with the fun everyone was having throughout the night! Thanks again Eli & Leslie!

Kaylen & Patrick's Little Rock Wedding: Reception

Now for the party! And a party it was.
The Clinton Presidential Library was the perfect setting for their reception. The food and drinks were phenomenal and Tragikly White kept the dance floor packed all night long. Enjoy...

The bridal party road to the reception on the Little Rock trolley. I LOVE this sweet shot Eli captured on the way...

And this funny one...

The groom's favorite drink, Grapico, was served with is groom's cake, and we couldn't resist the traditional toast with it...

My FAVORITE photo of the entire night...

For their get away, they chose a "Shaker Send-Off". The groom went to school at Alabama and the bride at Arkansas, so guests chose Shakers from one or the other schools to wave as the bride and groom made their exit...

Something about this photo looks so Presidential to me! Anyone else getting JFK from it?

Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Lewis!!
