Happy Earth Day!

With the Earth Day in mind, here are some vintage earthy finds from Tree Potato Four that would be great additions to a spring celebration! 

For those of you new to the blog and our work, we love our dogs, animals, and the environment and donate 1% of all sales to either a local animal rescue or The Conservation Fund. Check them out to make your donation this Earth Day!

Special Feature on EAD Today!

Today is a joyous day. Not only is My Simple Details featured on Elizabeth Anne Designs for our design work on a styled country shoot for a new event venue, but I personally was the featured photographer. For some time I've had a passion of photography, in addition to my passion for event planning and design. Since I started working with brides and grooms, I always put an enormous emphasis on hiring the best possible photographer, and my clients have always been glad they took my advice. With the addition of a few more planners to our team and some amazing assistants (who helped with the featured shoot),  I now have more time to pursue both of my passions.  

For our current clients this new venture will not impact my personal involvement with their weddings or events, and I'm personally excited for each and every wedding we have coming up this year. Our new clients will just have a larger team to rely on. I will personally still be involved in all planning and design aspects of our clients events, but I may not be as heavily involved in the coordination the month of. 

So take a minute and check out out styled country bridal shoot at the new venue Lamontagne at Bluemont. I'll be posting more images and details about this new venue soon. Morgan, a super talented florist and owner of Petal and Hedges, designed all the floral pieced for the shoot. They were yummy, even when compared to that home baked pie, and you must check out the bride's boots.

Tunes We're Listening 2

Lately, we've been listening to and looking for some great foreign song writers, so please pass along your recommendations.  This song is called Comme des enfants by Coeur De Pirate.  I heart the super sweet video.

Greta & Thomas are getting Married Tomorrow!

Hey everyone! I'm about to head out to Greta and Thomas' rehearsal for their  wedding tomorrow and I'm seriously crossing my fingers that the rain will stop.  We have some great things planned for their big day including an outside ceremony, but since we always have a great backup plan, so I'm positive it would look lovely no matter what.  Jennifer Chase, their photographer, just sent me some of some of their engagement shots, and I'm so glad she'll be there to capture all the little touches Greta and her mom handmade including her vintage broach bouquet.
