Luke and Blair’s love story and engagement is so sweet, we just had to share: During the summer of 2008 I was living in Virginia and Luke was in Manhattan. I planned a trip to New York for a weekend to see my best friend from home and my dear friends from college—a real girls weekend that included a trip to the Hamptons. Saturday afternoon found us at Cyril’s– a restaurant on a 2 lane highway that at about 4:00 p.m. becomes THE place to see and catch up with all of your Southern friends who live in New York, or, like me, were just visiting the Hamptons. And there I saw him–tall and handsome. Although we had gone to college an hour away from one another in Virginia, had both attended the Carolina Cup horse races for years in his South Carolina hometown, and had a zillion friends in common, it was not until June 2008 that we actually met one another. It was love at first sight. Luke proposed on a Tuesday evening. Just us. The best surprise of my life and the reason that I now love Tuesdays the most. Later that evening, we met all of our friends at the Soho Grand hotel to celebrate. They all knew and had been waiting for the announcement—it was such a dear surprise and one of the best memories of my life.

There were so many lovely images from today’s New Year’s styled shoot, that we had to include two posts! I soooo love the idea of a glittery New Year’s Eve wedding, with white flowers, soft gold and green accents, plenty of champagne and a location like Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyard to host it at! We can’t get enough of these images from our Grey Collective Member, Eric Kelley and event designer Easton Events.

To go along with the shoot, Meet+Cute Films put together a video as well!

It’s almost Christmas, darlings! I’ve got loads of gifts in my trunk that need wrapping, groceries to buy for Christmas goodies, and of course, last minute shopping! But where would be without a daily dose of well styled love? Today, a very special winter wedding we’ve been waiting to share with you. This is just the perfect week for some bridesmaids in boots and a bride’s fur caplet! Oh…and tuxedos. You know I love tuxedos.

A bride in tights, a fur caplet and shimmery heels. Gold, grey and emerald colors. Knit gloves as favors. Romantic woodsy details. Snowy overlook. This winter inspiration shoot is full of brilliant ideas and inspiration all shot by photographer Amy Lashelle at The Sky Lodge in Park City, Utah.
