A Middleburg Wedding

by

I just finished three days of wedding festivities for A & B at a family horse farm and vineyard in Middleburg, VA.  What an amazing couple and spectacular setting for a wedding!  We kicked off the weekend with an intimate dinner in the house. Saturday featured a day-long Southern-style BBQ with lawn games, hay bale lounges, and a whiskey bar. The wedding ceremony took place nestled by some trees (where the couple had carved their initials) in a field.

Here are just a few photos from the beautiful weekend!

Thanksgiving Table Inspiration

Are you all ready for Thanksgiving next week?  Here are just a few ideas I’ve been collecting for my Thanksgiving table.  Soft earth tones and puffy creme blossoms mixed with vintage touches.  Cozy and intimate!

Fall Colors

by

I have been in denial for weeks (OK, months!), but I can’t escape it any longer.  It is Fall.  Pumpkins, changing colors of the leaves on trees, heavy coats and the start of the holiday season.  Here are just a few colors palettes I’ve been playing with this season.  The beauty of these options is that you can choose one complimentary color or use all four together!

Cozy Up

by

It is a cold and rainy day here in Washington, DC, and I can’t help but think about all things cozy. I wish I could put work aside and cuddle up in front of the fireplace in a decadent room, under piles of faux fur blankets, with some French onion soup, hot chocolate and a classic novel or a dark, romantic movie.  I’m warmer just thinking about it!
