Lifestage Films + High Point, NC

Hi friends!

It's not very often that planners become in awe of an event. Happy? Of course! But this last wedding by Grace Leisure Events left me in awe.

The Lifestage Films team captured Cristina and Cole's wedding day in High Point, North Carolina last weekend. And today I want to share with you a preview...


An amazing team of vendors came together to pull off this stunning event. Aesthetic Image Photography, The Catering Company of Chapel Hill, amongst many others were a big part of this beautiful day. I was so excited to be there to see it unfold. Enjoy!

wedding wednesday bouquet

via {here}
Happy Wedding Wednesday, friends!

I am a little obsessed with this bouquet. And by a little I mean, a TON. Beautiful right? Such a great palette, so many textures and a polka dot fabric band? It's perfect and whimsical. I love it. And had to share it. You can see more from this wedding over at Peacock Feathers.

Hope y'all have a fabulous day!

nc tornadoes + paper inspiration

Happy Monday, friends! I hope you all had a nice weekend.

North Carolina suffered MAJOR damage on Saturday from severe storms and tornadoes. There are many people who lost loved ones, are injured and many still without power.

If you would like to help out, please visit the Triangle Red Cross homepage to donate. Funds raised will help feed and shelter those who are homeless and to rebuild the affected areas. Our neighbors could really use some positive vibes.

On a more positive note, while feeding my weekly Martha Weddings appetite, I came across some lovely wedding paper inspiration that I just had to share with you.

{ 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 }
One - This non-traditional approach to wedding programs made my heart skip. Confetti? In your program?! Yes, please.

Two - Lace and doilies are often used in table settings, but I love how it was incorporated into the invitations. Who says an inner envelope has to be solid? Such a great detail!

Three - If you're planning to have guests sign a book, this could be a fun way to spice it up. Have your guests write on small cards and then insert them into their own special envelope.

Four - Placecard + personalized guest gift = genius! Each guest will receive their own single, personalized set of stationery.

Five - Most couples spend a good chunk of their budget on flowers, but what happens to all of those gorgeous buds after the reception? These printed bags are PERFECT to have guests pick their flowers as they leave.

Six - Shake up the ceremony programs by printing them in several different color schemes. Keeps in interesting, no?

Brides & Grooms, what fun paper did you/will you incorporate into your wedding?

Okay, let me hear it - which one is your favorite? Hard to pick just one, but I'm loving the stationery + placecard set.

xoxo,
Kat
