Romantic Springtime Wedding Inspiration // The McGarity House Wedding Styled Shoot

Romantic Springtime Blush Wedding Inspiration // The McGarity House Wedding Styled Shoot

The McGarity House Wedding Styled Shoot

I am so excited to be finally sharing The McGarity House wedding styled photoshoot with you on the blog today for a number of reasons. Not only is it absolutely breathtaking. But, its backstory is a prime example of how your wedding planner is so much more than just that. It shows just how many hats a great wedding planner really wears. I hear a lot of couples say that they can’t afford a wedding planner, but what I’m about to say next is exactly why you can’t afford to NOT have a wedding planner for your big day.

You may not know it by looking at the photos, but this photoshoot almost didn’t happen because of the weather. We had severe storms that morning with tornado warnings all over the area. However, we decided to push through and make it happen as if it were a real wedding day. But, we were suddenly down a hair stylist and make-up artist. Not to mention, we were behind schedule. We had a design plan in place, so our vendor team hit the ground running to make up for lost time.

Meanwhile, unable to get a replacement for hair and make-up on such short notice, I did what any great wedding planner would do for their bride in this situation. Not only did I plan and design this photoshoot, but I also set up and styled it in between doing our model’s hair and make-up. Growing up as a hairstylist’s daughter and then having worked in a salon, I had the knowledge and experience of creating a basic up-do and soft make-up look for our model.

So, I’m not just a wedding planner. I’m whatever it takes to give my clients what they deserve. 

Romantic Springtime Blush Wedding Inspiration // The McGarity House Wedding Styled Shoot

Romantic Springtime Wedding Inspiration

As you’ll see by swooning over the gallery below, this styled photoshoot turned out absolutely breathtaking! From the floral chandelier installation to the gold dripping detail on the cake (not to mention, the cake cart all together!), the details of this photoshoot will always hold a special place in my heart. It feels like it was just yesterday that I was sitting down with Kesia of Kesia Marie Photography at Starbucks for the first time getting to know her and her heart for her photography business and weddings.

When we sat down to discuss a design and concept for this shoot, she had ideas in mind on how she wanted it to look. However, she really needed help wrangling the ideas together, making them flow, and bringing her vision to life. We started off by discussing what words she wanted the details from this photoshoot to evoke. After throwing around a lot of different ideas and design directions, we kept coming back to the words: romantic, whimsical, and feminine. It’s safe to say that we accomplished just that.

Meanwhile, the organic floral design, gold detailing, and hints of pink against textured neutrals paired with the bright and airy vintage charm of The McGarity House gave it almost a ‘Marie Antoinette’-esque looking vibe that we instantly fell in love with while seeing it all come to life on the day of. Not to mention, our model looked so darling in her gold lace catherine gown by Erin Fetherson that gave the perfect air of whimsy that we wanted while maintaining a delicate and feminine look. Thankfully, we had enough of a break in the weather to capture some gorgeous bridal photos on the venue’s darling wrap around porch.

The Vendor Team:

I can’t thank this team enough for how they pulled together on the day of the shoot to make things happen. I appreciate each and every one of these extremely talented vendors, and it was such an amazing experience getting to work alongside them all. Also, I couldn’t be more excited that this photoshoot got picked up for publication by The Perfect Palette! It’s safe to say that I absolutely loved how everything came together and turned out. Each time I take a look back at these photographs from Kesia Marie Photography, I can’t help but gush over all of the gorgeous details like it was just yesterday. Take a look at a snapshot of our swoon-worthy gallery below, and make sure to check out our feature and vendor team!

Spring gardening is right around the corner, and I Spring gardening is right around the corner, and I’m already starting to get ours prepped thanks to @walmart Lawn and Garden! #AD With a newborn and a toddler, running errands can be quite the task. But thanks to #WalmartLawnandGarden, I’ve been able to get everything I need to kickstart our garden this year in one place — from the convenience of snuggling my babies on my couch with Walmart.com and the app! The time it saved me from running all over town, I got to spend making core memories with John as we taught him how to start his very first set of seeds in the @jiffygroup seed starting tray. 

Here’s a look at what we got to kickstart our garden this year:
- The @jiffygroup Seed Starting Greenhouse Kit: to grow our own seedlings and get a head start on the season by starting them indoors! 
- The  @ferrymorseseed Seed Starting Heat Mat: to give our seeds the best chance possible to promote germination and improve transplant results 
- Ferry Morse Seeds (flowers, tomatoes, and peppers!) 
- @pennington Rejuvenate Potting Mix and Garden Soil: to give our seedlings the nutrients they need once transplanted into our garden 
- Pennington Rejuvenate Tomato Plant Food
- @scottslawn Landscaping Fabric: to keep our garden clean and free of pesky weeds
- The @flexonhose Flextreme Advanced 100ft Hose: to keep it all watered without fighting kinks as we move easily around our raised garden beds

Add this kit to your cart now ➡️ https://click2cart.com/59600bc

Get a jumpstart on your spring and summer garden this year by shopping everything you need at Walmart, in-store or online at Walmart.com. And stay tuned to see how our garden comes together and grows this year!

The best part? Can rotate and charge with all our other Dewalt tool batteries.

January 20th, 2023 💛

James was born last Friday morning, and spent the first 5 days in the NICU for some breathing issues and fluid in his lungs. While those days were extremely rough, trying, and brought back a lot of emotions from Layne’s birth — God is so good, and my heart is just overwhelmed by His faithfulness. My favorite moment in life thus far was surprising John before bedtime the night we were finally discharged to come home. I’ll never forget the look on his face when I walked through that door. Thank you, Jesus, for my babies. 🦋💛 #ahostinghome

✨ STUDY REVEAL ✨ I got a lot of nervous respon ✨ STUDY REVEAL ✨ I got a lot of nervous responses when I said I wanted to design an all black formal study right off my entryway, but I’m completely obsessed with every detail of this space. Rob has always wanted a study, so my goal with this space when it’s finished is to have almost like a moody, swanky cigar lounge feel. When we moved into this house this spring, I told Rob I was done playing it “safe for resale” with designing projects. Here’s to more of doing whatever the heck I want design wise in 2023! 👏🏼✨ Next up: let’s get this space styled and furnished! #ahostinghome

“And with that, the 2022 season comes to an end. “And with that, the 2022 season comes to an end.” ✨🎄 When do you take your Christmas decor down? The Christmas decor got put away earlier this week, and the house always feels so empty every year when it gets taken down! I was going to wait till next week to take it down, but with only 3 weeks left until baby arrives I’m finding myself in total nesting mode right now. Behind the scenes we’ve been putting finishing touches on the study while Rob was off work for Christmas, so I’ll be sharing all the photos and updates on that to the feed soon. In the meantime, who wants to come organize closets and baby stuff with me?! 😜 #ahostinghome
