June Wedding-Part III-Late Night
The final event of the FABULOUS June Wedding was the Late Night Party. There was discussion regarding what to call this portion of the evening. I suggested calling it a Dance Party. However, it was suggested that the title sounded more like a fraternity party instead of dancing after a formal wedding. Thus, we simply…
June Wedding Part III-Dinner
This is a bit lengthy…it was a multi-faceted dinner. The Antler offers a designer incredible opportunities to be creative. The property alone can be used in a myriad of ways. Then there are the existing buildings. We used Grey Manor for Cocktail Hour and we used The Grand Hall for Dinner. This is…
June Wedding Part III-Cocktail Hour
I haven’t told you the story of how I came to be involved in this incredible event. I’ve been fortunate to have this incredible family as interior design clients since 1999 when the mother of the bride saw a fun bedroom I did in a Tupelo Symphony League Designer Showcase Home. I had known of…
June Wedding Part II
The wedding day began with elegantly presented brunches. in beautifully appointed homes with lovely hosts, lots of exuberance and maybe just a tiny bit of anxiousness. Southern Accents should have covered this. Everything was done to perfection to honor the bride and her entourage. Can you die…this looks like it was styled for Saveur. …
June Wedding Part I
It was the best of times and it was…well…the best of times. It all began on a night in October in the brides family home. The next day we met them with celebration gifts of champagne and a wedding planning book. Then after lots and lots and lots of calls, meetings, emails, planning and…

Thumbtack
Hey friends, I’ve found a really cool website called Thumbtack. It’s like a bulletin board. If you need a service you create a post for it. Then Thumbtack links you to the service providers in your area. It’s like Pinterest but for actual services instead of ideas only. Take a look at my profile…Signature Designs,…
Long Time
MERCY!!! I can’t believe it’s been over a month since we were together. I’ve realized having a blog should really be a full-time job. I’ve had lots to talk about and lots of photos to share but finding the time…there’s the challenge. I do have some things to share and you can look forward to…
Seersucker Season
I know “they” say the rules no longer apply. However, white shoes, seersucker and linen were created to wear between Easter and Labor Day according to my mother’s fashion handbook…and it’s that book by which I will always abide. Whether it’s a celebration of death and resurrection or peeps and jelly beans Easter does…
