The last few dog days of summer in the Carolinas have been hectic, but I managed to take a day to simply wander and enjoy. Couldn't help but throw on this new dress for our last outing.

You know we love an es**rt card display around here. For S&T’s seaside weekend, we incorporated a nautical inspired love knot along with each guest’s seating assignment.

Can’t wait to share more details with you from this special day!

Just in the nick of time, I'm dishing out some tablescape inspo (yes, pun intended!) for my favorite holiday—the 4th of July! Loved setting the scene in my happy place, Linville, NC. 🍒🇺🇸

And. . . HUGE shoutout to who captured the vision perfectly.

I am, in fact, a sucker for an exquisite paper suite. 🤍 Absolutely loved collaborating with on every detail for this one. We went through multiple iterations what we now call fondly “the squiggle”. Our intention for guests’ first impression of the parties to come were coastal, fresh, dressy-but-lighthearted!

24 years into my career in weddings means I have to find an outlet for all the freneticism. Long walks and mainlining cold brew can’t always cut it, but busy hands will quiet the mind!

Thank you to my friends at for this lovely feature on my favorite hobby that’s been so fun to share with everyone on Tik Tok.

A snapshot of Mother’s Day and “lately”. The boat, the beach. Wedding mocks and old friends. Six grand-nephews and grand-nieces (and 2 more on the way!) and college reunions. Lots of Vitamin D and PT, long walks and crime podcasts and big summer plans. Happy Mother’s Day to all the fabulous ones who shape my life!
