Catherine’s wedding inspiration

June 19th, 2013

The week has finally arrived! The week where I will marry my best friend, and go from Catherine Booker to Catherine Booker Jones. Blake and I started dating when we were wee high-schoolers, 16 and 17 to be exact. We have literally grown-up together, going through all stages of life together thus far, and we managed to not only grow individually, but together. God has blessed us with His perfect plan, and I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with this amazing man! When it came time to plan our wedding, my little girl fantasies came to life. I had always envisioned a true classic, southern wedding. We will be married in my childhood church, and our reception will take place at an older home, a landmark in our South Georgia hometown. Blake and I both have our own styles that when melded together (in my biased opinion) is awesome! So, we fused our unique flair with classic, southern design. The day will be a wonderful blend of our background and personal styles, and the company of our wonderful friends and family.

Foodie flowers

June 18th, 2013

You can imagine my excitement today when I stumbled across edible Violas (that’s a type of flower) on the Terrain website today. Top any summer dish or beverage with these beauties and add instant fun. I would pour them into a glass vase and use it as an accessory and just grab a handful and sprinkle when I need to garnish my meals…

Secret Garden

June 10th, 2013

There’s nothing more enchanting than uncovering a hidden gem—that gem being a garden. Not only did I love The Secret Garden when I was a little girl, but I still go on walks and find myself on gorgeous streets hoping to find an antique gate with climbing ivy leading into a mystical garden…Ok yes, I just had a day dream at my desk—have you ever found a secret garden?
