My Dad passed away in August of 2013 and my wedding was June 2014. So I had about 9 months to figure it all out before my wedding. If I am being honest, I had thoughts of not having a wedding. I wasn’t interested in planning it anymore. I wasn’t interested in talking about this when all I could think about was how my dad won’t get to see me get married. He won’t get to walk me down the aisle like he did for my sister. He won’t give an amazing speech like he did at my brother and sisters wedding. He wont get to dance the Daddy daughter dance with me and dance his silly dance moves all night long.

We are ramping up for a new wedding season and reminiscing about last years wonderful weddings!
I had a baby three months ago, which is why it has been so long since my last post, but I have been waiting to get this wedding to you and hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Take a look at this stunning destination wedding in Orlando, Florida. The ceremony took place at Corpus Christie Catholic Church in Celebration and the reception was held at the Omni Championsgate Orlando.
I know Veronica from college. We both have a love for basketball and played whenever we could find a court. Oh and we were the intramural champions 2 years in a row!! Enough about the glory days...Let's get to the good stuff. Veronica and I reconnected in Baltimore just before she got engaged to Kevin and I was delighted to have her back in my life. After a quick get together, I could tell how much love they had for each other and how happy they made each other. Soon after that get together they were engaged! Veronica contacted me about designing her invitations and I couldn't have been more excited! Together we came up with some really great elements to make each piece personal and meaningful and bring the wedding day together.
I just can't get enough of all the beautiful unique details from her engagement ring, to the JMU and UNC ice luge, bells of Ireland flowers, and THAT DRESS!
Have a look for yourself all the greatness that was Kevin and Veronica's Wedding day!

Amber + Jason: W Chicago City Center
Check out this glamorous wedding at The W Chicago City Center!
Amber and Jason knew they wanted a Chicago wedding from the beginning. Amber was born and raised in the Chicagoland area and Jason was born just a little ways away in Madison, Wisconsin. They met and grew their relationship while living and exploring Chicago, so what better place to have their wedding than the iconic W Hotel.
I have known Amber since Kindergarten and it was an absolute joy to work with her creating and designing the save the dates and wedding invitations for her special day. Her vision was strong. Amber knew what she wanted all the way down to the little details. She nailed it! Everything came together perfectly! It truly was a magical night for Amber and Jason filled with pink and white flowers, floating candles, gold accents, dim lighting, happy tears, good friends, great family, tons of laughing, drinks and lots of dancing.
Congratulations Amber and Jason!!!!
