harvest table: happy thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is tomorrow! Somehow my favorite holiday completely snuck up on me (finishing up our 2013 weddings and doing some Lovely Day 2014 planning may have gotten in the way…) but I can’t wait to dive head first into stuffing and cranberry sauce at my in-laws house tomorrow. As a somewhat-newlywed, I am still getting […]

fall: in love!

Fall! Around here, Autumn is one of our favorite times of year. Apple picking, pumpkin carving, apple-cider-donut eating wrapped in scarves and stylish trenchcoats? We absolutely love it. When we aren’t jumping in fallen leaves or burning a pumpkin spice candle, we’re cooking up fall wedding decor ideas for one of our 2014 brides. Here […]

LD styled shoot: farm-to-table inspiration board

It’s smack dab in the middle of wedding season and while we’ve been super busy (and happily so!), we’ve also been a bit neglectful on the blog (our bad). To give you a snapshot, the past few weeks have brought venue walk-through’s, client planning meetings and three new Lovely Day weddings booked – all in […]

bridal style: racerback gowns

The latest bridal trend we’re dreaming of? Racerback gowns. These sophisticated beauties are the best way (we think) to flatter toned arms, and we’re loving the many styles out there. From J.Crew to Claire Pettibone, designers are pulling in fabric to make room for dramatic backs that show a little extra shoulder. Here are some […]

pure charm: southern wedding inspiration board

Today I’m heading down to the Emerald Coast for 10 days of white sand and sweet tea cocktails! I can’t wait to trade steamy Connecticut for coastal Alabama on this part-family reunion, part-beach vacation trip, and it got me thinking about my southern roots. You see, my Mother is a real Southern lady. She was […]

LD styled shoot: modern organic inspiration board

We’ve been a bit busy around here and apologize for the break in our regularly scheduled blog posts! We’ve been working on lots of FUN things lately (including design work for a couple of our summer weddings!) but in the midst of everything we managed an incredible styled shoot a couple of weeks ago. Our […]

beth on style me pretty!

We had the incredible, absolute pleasure of being featured on Style Me Pretty last Friday! We’re over the moon to have our first *unofficial* Lovely Day wedding grace the pages of our favorite wedding blog and wanted to share the pretty with all of you! From Beth… Planning my wedding was a labor of love, […]

run for the roses: derby wedding inspiration board

Whether or not you tuned in to see Orb slosh through the mud for the win last weekend, there’s a lot to love about the Kentucky Derby — and it’s not all about the ponies! Derby fashion has been a highlight of the season since Churchill Downs opened in 1875, attracting wagering ladies with hats […]

real LD wedding: key west rehearsal dinner

Curious about our personal styling services? We had the pleasure of recently working with one of our brides to style her rehearsal dinner look and we wanted to share our process – and her fabulous final look! Our bride was based in NYC and having an April destination wedding in Key West (swoon!). When we […]
