I e-met Janie Medley about 6 and a half years ago. She was launching The Bride's Cafe and I was plugging along with Style Me Pretty. And through the 6 years, we've sort of grown up together. Her thriving floral business and blog and her pure, unabashed kindness always taking center stage. And although I can easily call her a friend, until recently we had never met. So...
As we start a new week of swoon-worthy weddings, it only seems fitting to put our best foot forward. And with all the beauty and charm to knock your pretty little socks off, this Richmond affair is just what we need to make Monday morning sparkle. Set at the historic Virginia Center for Architecture, it's a celebration centered on traditional elegance and classic design paired with the prettiest pale green palette you can imagine.
Weddings at the art gallery tend to lean a little closer to the modern side of the romance spectrum, so when a wedding that leans the other way, with just the right amount of vintage to pop against the clean museum vibe comes along, we swoon. It's the little surprises that get us. The unexpected juxtaposition of a lace veil and the contemporary white walls. The classic chiavari chair in lucite. The extra fluffy, pink bouquets set against a grey backdrop.

I planned on gushing about the gorgeous peach + steel grey combo woven throughout this affair because honestly, it's drop dead gorgeous and such a lovely addition to the backdrop of the Historic Mankin Mansion. But my words left me the very second I spotted the Bride and my thoughts immediately turned into a gush fest about the leading lady and her veil. So pretty. SO, SO WILDLY PRETTY and all captured beautifully by ...

Crisis mode. When the bus with more than half your guests breaks down an hour before the ceremony, you'd better thank your lucky stars you have an expert wedding planner on your side!

William Gaff has become one of the master storytellers of our time. Ask any of his peers, and they will more than agree. In today's featured wedding, he has woven the story of two extraordinary people, with the special love they share with family and friends ~ all set to the sensitive lyrics from a song from the musical Wicked. "... because I knew you ... because I knew you ... I have been changed ... for good."...

Today we're finishing up our featured wedding from Dave Robbins Photography with a bit of Abby and Matt's story! But before we get to that, we wanted to elaborate just a bit more on the favors. Abby told us that in the 1800's, sugar was always sold in blue paper-wrapped cones. For their wedding, Abby and Matt were able to find these sugar cones from a historical reenactment company and used them...
