I love it when my team and I are able to bring a bride's vision to life! When I first met with Lindsey, she said she was obsessed with bling and pearls. I understood that, because I am obsessed with them, too. :) Taking her ideas and colors, I started my research to find some unique things to use at her reception. We didn't disappoint. Lindsey's mom said that she felt like she was at a celebrity event at the reception. Read Full Story

Roses have been a choice for wedding flowers for centuries. I like them because they come in a myriad of colors. They are versatile and romantic, and they can be formal or informal. Different colors have different meanings. In Victorian times, bouquets of flowers were sent as a way to send a specific message to the receiver of them. Roses were a primary flower in these bouquets. Each color had a special meaning: Read Full Story

We love doing Fall weddings. The colors of the flowers are so much more vibrant, due to the cooler weather. Meagan and Aaron's wedding color palette played to the colors of autumn so beautifully. They chose teal and red, but in much more muted tones than what we normally see. The end result was breathtaking! Read Full Story

Isaac and Lindsey didn't want to wait to be married, but their dreams of a wedding had to be put on hold. They married a little more than a year ago, and their long awaited wedding became reality in September of this year. This wedding color palette was one of our very favorite, and perfectly suited to the late-summer/early fall wedding. Cymbidium orchids, roses, garden roses, and hydrangea were stunning on the gazebo.

Harvest Acres Farm is a new wedding venue in our region. Locate in Limestone, TN, the acres of rolling hills with the backdrop of the mountains are breathtaking!

It can accommodate 200 people on the main (acid stained concrete) floor, with additional seating in the loft area. You can use the hay wagon to transport your guests from the barn to the ceremony!

John was unaware of any ghosts in the building, but said that it has been investigated for paranormal activity. I did a little digging of my own to research this building. While I didn't uncover any stories of ghosts, I did discover another interesting fact. First National Bank was the site of Kingsport's first bank robbery! The year the bank opened, a 22 year old Paul Jones entered a rear door in the building and demanded that a cashier put all the silver and currency in a bag. It amounted... Read Full Story

It was from the Civil War era that many of the ghosts came to exist at The Martha Washington Inn. Sightings of ghosts and other eery encounters have been experienced by guests and staff, including myself. Violin music can still be heard coming from room 403. The ghost, named Beth, soothed a dying confederate solider by playing the violin. Guests in room 210 have actually been touched by ghosts! If you stay in room 302, you might witness an entire silent party! Images appear on the mirrors in... Read Full Story

New Canton Plantation found its beginnings before the Declaration of Independence was a twinkle in Jefferson's eye. In the mid 1700's, His Majesty King George II deeded the original tract of 3,000 acres to British loyal subjects Eldridge and Hannibal Hord. At that time, Tennessee was the western frontier, English settlers were surging westward into the new world, warring Indians were poised to the west. Historical accounts do not offer, but one must wonder how The Hord family must have felt... Read Full Story
