susannah and corey {tie the knot} eseeola lodge

Happy after-the-election day. Now we can go on to more important things-- like Thanksgiving! Oh, I honestly just love that holiday and I am seriously counting down the days to be home in Pennsylvania and eating copious amounts of turkey!

Today is a good day. I started the day with my first gingerbread latte of the year and I am able to share Susannah and Corey's wedding photos! You may know them from here and here. As well, Susannah's wedding was the inspiration behind my inspiration nook that was mentioned here.

Susannah and Corey were married on September 15th at Eseeola Lodge in Linville, NC. Seriously-- I may be a bit bias, but what a gorgeous mountain wedding it was! Susannah knew early on the look that she was going for, and I think that we hit the nail on the head when it came to design. From the florals to the vintage decor and handmade items that Susannah lovingly crafted, it was just perfect.

Not to mention, Susannah and Corey are one of the sweetest couples that I have had the pleasure of working with and getting to know.

Please enjoy some images from The Schultzes Photography. Ok, ok...maybe a few more than some, but come on- it's so hard to choose!






























A special thank you to all of the vendors that made this night so incredible.

susannah and corey {wedding video}

They say patience is a virtue, but I have to say that is truly one of the hardest things that I struggle with on a daily basis. I am and have always been a "let's do it now" type of person, so waiting on anything {including client's wedding photos} can be so hard! I know, I know-- talk about some serious 'problems'!

With that being said, I am anxiously awaiting Susannah and Corey's wedding photos, but in the mean time- I am happy to share their {beautiful} wedding video by the amazing Crown Alley Films.


Enjoy!


with love.

lauren and justin {engagement session}

Happy Friday! This weekend is bitter sweet as it is my last wedding weekend of the year. This year has been full of amazing events {some of which I have yet to share}, so please stay tuned. And of course, we are already rockin' and rollin' for next year.

Speaking of next year, please meet Favor Me Events couple, Lauren and Justin. While they dated for only a few short months, this couple knew early on that they were meant to be together.

Set to be married on October 5th at the Duke Mansion, Lauren and Justin are in full planning mode and have been doing a great job of comprising their "dream team" of vendors.

Please enjoy some photos of their e-session by Candice and Dan Lanning of The Beautiful Mess Photography.














So looking forward to planning with you both. 

with love.

salutations stationery {inspiration nook}

Happy Wednesday {and Halloween}! The older that I get, the more I actually enjoy this holiday. Having a day of perfectly acceptable "dress up" as an adult has become more and more appealing.

So, trick-or-treat and all that jazz. Now, on with the post...

A few months ago, I was asked by Jessica at Salutations Fine Stationery and Gifts to create an inspiration nook for their store.  Of course I graciously agreed and was given the look of vintage/shabby chic. The challenge was to incorporate props as well as photos and other items to make a cohesive look within a 3 feet wide by 2 feet deep space.  


With the space restrictions, I had to get a little creative {and crafty}, but I think it came together pretty well. Also, a very special thanks to The Schultzes Photography for providing the photos and to The Bloom Room for providing props and more succulence than this girl could even imagine!

Here are some photos {thanks again to my trusty iphone and Instagram love-- follow me at amarkey24} of the nook. I used one of my September weddings as inspiration as I felt like it fit the theme perfectly. More coming on that wedding soon!


Enjoy!








If you are in the market for save the dates, invites or other paper needs, please check out Salutations and tell em' Favor Me Events sent you.

with love.

jenna and ivan {got hitched}

How is it the last weekend of October? Seriously. 2012 has been on full blast!

In other news, my amazing intern {turned consultant} got hitched two weekends ago in Wilmington at the Bellamy Mansion. Her theme was 1920s, and I think she really outdid herself in making it authentic and not kitschy looking. Does this photo not look like an ad for a period movie?



Check out her teaser video below from the wedding by ArcDeco Cinematography. Seriously amazing!

Congratulations Jenna and Ivan! Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness!
