One Sweet Fridays

Hi! So I'm not sure about where you live, but here in Richmond it almost feels like Fall! Hooray!  I'm writing this blog amidst the pillows and covers of my bed. Needless to say I'm having a lazy morning. Things will change up this afternoon though once a floral order arrives full of styled shoot pretties for Lovely Bubbly Events tomorrow. I'll show some behind the scenes over on IG and I can't wait to see how the gorgeousness unfolds. After that, this girl is getting ready to head up to Maine for the Working Retreat! I can't believe this trip is already here and I'm so ready for this "working vacation" with a few of my favorite creatives! I'll be there Monday-Thursday and you know I'll be posting way to many photos so be sure to  follow along on Instagram! 

One Sweet Day in May Richmond Virginia Florist

And while I'm traveling up North on Monday something BIG will be happening back here at home! it's HUGE and to be quite honest I've never really been this scared and excited at the same time before. But without risk comes no reward, am I right? One Sweet Day in May has been changing and growing so much the past few months and everything has lead me to this moment and on Monday it will finally be time to let the cat out of the bag! Gahh. I'm dying over here from keeping this secret!! One hint...I've partnered with one of my favorite fellow industry ladies for something quite spectacular. DYING. 

Featured- Style Me Pretty. Blush and Metallic inspiration

I was so excited that this past Friday Style Me Pretty featured this shoot I took part in last month with Annmarie Swift. The team over at Style Me Pretty put together the most gorgeous feature and I think I speak on behalf of all of us when I say how honored we all are. You can catch the link for the feature here, but you know I just had share more of the swoon-worthy images over here too. 

This shoot was Annmarie's baby and her inspiration came from the beautiful Willowdale Estate. We added to the lushness of the surrounding foliage and vines, but wanted to make sure it was feminine with pops of blushes. Make sure to take a look at the cake table display! So many flowers!! This was my first time creating a floral frame and gosh did it turn out pretty!! 

Many thanks again to Annmarie for inviting me up to her neck of the woods and letting me be a part of something so beautiful. It was an honor. 

One Sweet Fridays

How was your week one sweet bloggies? I hope it was a good one!

Incase you missed it, I blogged about the 8 things that have changed since going through the branding process. You can catch it here. And I'm over on Style Me Pretty today! Remember the styled shoot I flew up to Boston for last month with Annmarie Swift Photography? It's featured over there and I'm thrilled! The link for all that gorgeousness is right here and I'll share more here on the blog next week! Yay! 

Today the weather is PERFECT! It has been all week, but something about it being Friday and perfect weather makes it even better. I'm finishing some office stuff and then I'm headed to the Inn at Willow Grove in Orange, Virgnia to meet up with a May 2016 bride and her fabulous planner Ally of Ally Allison Events. A venue walk through is planned and I'm so excited for dinner with sweet Ally as it's been quite a while since I've seen her! 

A little pretty made from leftovers this week! 

A little pretty made from leftovers this week! 

This weekend is wedding free, but I have two meetings with potential 2016 brides which means twice the Starbies for this girl on Saturday. Wheee! Chris' family has been down at the beach all week and sadly we were too busy to join them. They get back Saturday afternoon and Chris and I have plans to join them for dinner. They will be so tan! Me and my paler than ever skin are so jealous! It's been a while since we've seen them though so it will be good to catch up! 

And with that, I hope you have a wonderful weekend and I'll catch you back here on Monday! Don't forget to follow along over on Instagram!

Love,

Michelle
