Get to know Jack!

We recently took a weekend trip to Nashville, TN aka Music City to celebrate the marriage of our friends Ryan & Talia. While on the way up there we couldn't help but stop in Lynchburg to get a tour of the Jack Daniels Distillery and see first hand how the Tennessee whiskey is produced. The property was so gorgeous!!! The distillery would be an amazing location for a wedding or special event. They have a "boarding house restaurant" you can even host a private event at called, Miss Mary Bobo's.

Pictures from the distillery tour. This is where they burn the wood and stack it before making it into chips they use to filter the whiskey.


Outside the welcome center! Everything was just gorgeous!

Crafton and I in front of the "cave" where they still get the same water from to make JD.

Vow Renewal at the Ritz

Recently I had the privilege to attend a vow renewal as a guest with my boyfriend, Crafton. It was amazing! The ceremony was both beautiful and touching and the reception was absolutely beautiful. I couldn't help but blog about the event... take a look at the details:



Ceremony was held indoors at the Ritz-Carlton Sarasota. The white feathers against the pink drape was stunning! Congrats Kevin & Francesca!

Me & Crafton having a wonderful time!


The centerpieces were silver candelabras overflowing with white cymbidium orchids and crystals with a hydrangea base. Beautiful!


Francesca choose peacock feathers as a theme and carried them from the invitations into the decor and place settings.


This cake was fabulous, plain and simple! I still can't get over how tall it was.....


There I am with the cake towering over me!

Vacation Inpiration: Florida Keys

We're on a fishing trip in Summerland Key right now and it is beautiful! Check out the view from the porch...



The colors in the Key West style outdoor furniture are so bright and vibrant I couldn't help but be inspired. These throw pillows were the perfect color combo for a summer beach wedding, Key lime green, turquoise and tan.
