SIMPLY PUBLISHED: {Desiree Hartsock} Perfect Winter Touches

You guys. I am so freaking excited to share this. I am going to be real for a minute and tell you that it is no secret that I am a secret Bachelor/Bachelorette aficionado. I love the show so much. And I love following my favorite contestants after they have been on the show so when I saw Desiree Hartsock's blog I just was so excited and wanted to be on the blog big time. And yesterday, that dream became a reality. Our Winter Rustic Styled Shoot at Brockington Hall photographed by Rach Lea Photography featuring a hanging antler installation by us, a fun cake by Lulu's Chocolate Bar, a bouquet from Kiwi Fleur, and really fun balloons from Art POP Balloons. Other treats were provided by Maison de Macarons and chocolates by Cholatat by Adam Turoni. And some vintage rental pieces from Lillian's China. Last but not least, the fur wrap is a handmade piece by our very own co-owner, Adrienna McDermott. Anyway, huge thank you to all the vendors who participated in this shoot and huge thank you to Desiree for featuring our shoot!!!! :) Head on over to her blog to check out the entire feature!

SIMPLY PUBLISHED: 100 Layer Cake

Boy oh boy I've been behind on blogging lately!!!! Finally catching up a little this early morning... Anyway, this feature was a few weeks ago on 100 Layer Cake + so I wanted to share with ya'll since it is one of my favorite styled shoots we've done!! I think the best part about this shoot I did photographed by Rach Lea Photography is that we did it in the middle of the summer + boy was it hot and funny that we were doing a winter themed shoot. Check out the blog post here for more details on the shoot!! Thank you to all the vendors who helped out!!!!

SIMPLY BRIDAL: Gray Gowns

I love colored wedding gowns. Kind of obsessed. From blue to pink to gold, they add such personality to the bride, and show off her unique spirit. But what about gray? It's cool, flattering on all skin tones, and is perfect for the winter. I mean what would look better in the snow then a cool silver and gray dress? (Especially if it has sparkle!) And when you look at the photos below, look at how well it photographs! With so many shades, from soft white to a deep charcoal. Divine! So when you're looking for a dress, that's not white or ivory, think gray!

xoxo,

Adrienna
