Vendor Love Week: Gray Slate Studio

Gray Slate Studio photographer Nhien is a fantastic photojournalist. She does an amazing job capturing the smallest details. Her work truly portrays the whole spirit of your special day. Nhien's albums are a great conversational piece. Each page captures every emotion of the day telling a story without any words. She is a pleasure to work with - the hardest part will be picking your favorite pictures for the album because they will all be that unique and fabulous!

Vendor Love Week: Angel Cakes & Cupcake Heaven

MMMM! Just as the name says these sweet treats are straight from heaven - elegant and delicious. Angel Cakes & Cupcake Heaven is owned by Kim Newman and is located in Haymarket, VA. It was a no-brainer to choose Kim to do my own wedding cake. It was a huge hit with all of our guests...there was hardly a crumb to be found!

As tradition goes, we froze the top tier and thawed it out on our one year anniversary. The cake tasted just as good as it did on our Wedding Day!

Finished Hutch

I finished my hutch and loaded it with all my event planning resources. It is a perfect fit with my desk. A few more pieces and my office is complete! I plan to finish a buffet with the same weathered look as the desk and hutch. I am in search for the perfect upholstered chair and rug as well.

My Weekend Project

I purchased this antique hutch off Craigslist for $120. It was made in Gettysburg, PA in 1931. I plan to finish it with the weathered crackle to match my desk. I will use it in my office to hold my books and other office supplies. Here is a before photo and two midway photos showing the base color with the weathered crackle.

Presenting My White Desk

My desk has finally found its place in our new home. It is near finished - I just need to find the perfect hardware for the drawer pulls. I can't wait to plan my next event behind this beauty!
