My new endeavor

I'm sorry I've been so absent! I know, I always say that before vanishing again. I got so busy planning the wedding then actually having the wedding. I swear I'll share about it soon!

Lately though, it's my new business, LennonGrace that's been eating up my time. LennonGrace is a collaboration between my friend Ashley and myself. We both got married this year and enjoyed planning and creating our own weddings that we felt inspired to tap into our creative sides on a bigger scale.

We love all things wedding and baby and have started our boutique with infant headbands and my own favorite, pacifier clips! We've also done some wedding and shower favors and nursery art. I am loving this new adventure! Here is a variety of the stuff we've done so far.

I got married!

I basically gave up blogging to wedding plan and Pinterest took over. It really would've made a lot of sense for me to blog as I planned and shared my thoughts and ideas, but that would've ruined the surprise of everything I did!

I'm anxiously awaiting our photos for our amazing photographer, then I hope to share a lot of the things I did to make our wedding magical.

In the meantime, here's some non professional photos:

1/2 way there

I can hardly believe that it has been 6 months since we got engaged and even crazier, 6 months until we get married, it's quite exciting! I realized yesterday that while I am regularly sharing wedding ideas I love, I've yet to share anything about my own wedding.

We will be renting out The Roundwood House in Mountrath, Ireland for a few days for the wedding. The house was built in the 1700's and seems like the perfect setting for our vintage wedding. All of our guests will be staying together in the house which I think will be nice way of uniting the two families as one big one.



I plan on doing a whole post about her gorgeous work, but we've hired Paula McManus to do our photography. Here's one of my favorites as a sneak peek.

I won't spoil the menu, but our dinner sounds incredible. Paddy, the owner of the Roundwood House, has amazing reviews for his cooking. In addition to the several dessert's he will be making, we are also going to have a tiny little wedding cake by Emily's Pantry. I've never seen anyone do such realistic sugar flowers!

We are so lucky to have Andrea from Chirp Paperie designing our invites. I've blogged about her before, and I can't wait to reveal our invitations!

Over the past 6 months my Mom and I have been slowly collecting vintage 1910-1920's decor to use. Everything from cloth napkins in my color scheme to a table runner and a ceremony back drop. I am so excited to see everything come together!

Wedding Wednesday: 6 months down

Tomorrow, December 5th, will be exactly 6 months until our wedding! I have a feeling once January hits, the wedding is going to sneak up on us! I am feeling pretty prepared, but there's still lots to do.
I am, as always, turning to Pinterest for inspiration and I came across this SMP that I love! Included in their invites was a helpful "packing list", what a fun idea!

Wedding Wednesday: Are you at a Hipster wedding?

I can't be 100% sure, but it looks like our wedding will be "Hipster free". I have been to a Hipster wedding or two though, how about you?

I can't quite get the picture to post large enough, so go here: Refinery 29

Wedding Wednesday: Photo list

We booked our Photographer a while back, and I am so excited about her! I'll share more on that another week.

In the mean time, a good photographer will know what photo's to take, but here are my 7 "must have" shots (in no particular order).

#1: A gorgeous shot of the Bride

#2 The invitational suite. You probably spent a lot of time on these, show them off.  

 #3 A romantic picture of the Bride & Groom, thats what it's all about after all.

I can't wait to see how our photo's will turn out!

Eclectic Wedding

I meant to do a Wedding Wednesday post yesterday, but a migraine rendered me useless.

Love, love, LOVE this unique and eclectic wedding! To welcome all their guests, and kick off the wedding weekend they hosted a movie on the lawn. Complete with blankets, pillows, popcorn, candy -So fun!

I love the lace and greenery Chuppah, what a pretty backdrop for their ceremony. The doily and mercury glass table settings look sweet and simple. Sounds like the whole wedding was a blast!

Wedding Wednesday: Outdoor wedding

I am a sucker for tented weddings. Not sure why, but I am.
I love this simple, sweet wedding. A big white tent, pretty lights, colorful centerpieces, key escort cards, a suitcase and sofa sitting area, delicious looking desserts, invites by Rifle, a lacy wedding dress, and OH! are those figs I see? <3 p="">
