I LOVE being from the South. We have the warmest summers, quietest nights, brightest fireflies and the warmest people. I love that in the South you’ll never meet a stranger. We put monograms on everything. We don’t hide crazy. We parade it on the front porch and give it tea. Of course that tea has got to be diabetic …
Meet Sarah
The most common question I receive from potential clients: “How did you become a planner and how long have you been doing it?” Event design for me began in infancy. I come from a very traditional Southern family, apart from my “Yankee” father as my nana affectionately called him. He’s been a Virginia resident for so long I think we …
Meet Our Ceo and Principle Coordinator
While I’ve always strived to be a lady, I acquired the title Lady on June 1, 2012. The day Nik and I got married. Likewise, he acquired the title Laird. No, that’s not a misprint. Lord is for England Laird is for Scotland. So how can a Southern girl and a Greek guy be Laird and Lady of Chaol Ghleann? …
Welcome!!!
Welcome to my Stream of Consciousness!! I am so excited for this opportunity to re-launch! It’s been a long time goal of mine to connect more with our clients (past, present, and future) on a more personal and direct level. It’s also been a long time apprehension. I am definitely not an author of anything. I use too many over …
It’s almost Fall Y’all!!!
Can you smell it? The cool crisp air with a hint of pumpkin spiced lattes…which are already out now. Can you believe it?! We keep pushing seasonal items earlier and earlier every year. Halloween stuff is already out and school isn’t even back in session yet. This makes me a little sad because you don’t get to enjoy the …
Virginia Gold Cup 2015
We attend every year. The planner in me loves it and all the day drinking it brings. The equestrian in me loves the sport of it. My family loves it. My daughters love to watch the riders warm up in the paddock. My husband loves all the fancy food I make and the bourbon! I love the warm sun, mint …
Vendor Spotlight … Kristine Pringle Photography
Kristine isn’t just an amazing area photographer but she’s a dear friend and probably just about the sweetest person you’ll ever meet. I always feel bad when I say bad words around her! It doesn’t happen often but I do have to admit that “Damn IT! “ is probably my favorite phrase when I’m frustrated and let’s face it just …
Family Farm Wedding Forest, VA
Oh MY!! What do I say about this wedding?! The couple Jessica and Lucas (along with their families) turned this working cattle farm into a piece de resistance! I had been out to the farm several times before their wedding day and it was so cool to see the transformation. I also visited three months after the wedding and it …
Romantic Richmond Wedding
Katie Nesbitt Photography captured all the amazing details that were put together in this wedding! Chrissy and Davis met in college and their love blossomed into something so special! Chrissy’s sorority sisters had so many fun traditions they helped incorporate into her wedding like blue ribbons (the exact shade of their sorority colors) under her dress, and fun dances and …
Preppy Wedding on the James
This preppy wedding has been one of my all-time favorites!!! It had everything I loved. Style, personality, a great band, amazing lighting but most of all everyone involved was fantastic. The couple; Winston and Carter were so fun to work with. The guests were a blast and so interactive. Winston’s parents hosted the wedding at their home on the James. …
