From My Garden

Here are two blooms from my garden. I took these just as the sun went down and the sky reflected the last bit of warm light. I love that.

Here’s my beautiful little nephew, Owen!

Spring Starts!

Lori — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 11:10:46 +0000

Spring has arrived in all her glory! Which provides a perfect excuse for me to get this blog into gear. Today, I “officially” launch this, my newish, beautiful blog and logo — designed by Susan Sidoriak of Silverbox Creative Studio. Susan was wonderful and her approach to design is absolutely stylish, creative and always beautiful. Peruse her blog and portfolio site to see what I mean. (Get ready to PIN!)

Happy blooms everywhere at Longwood Gardens!

Rachel and Michael Part II!

I’m finally back to this blog! Here is Part II of Rachel and Michael’s beautiful Merion Tribute House wedding:

Their chemistry is always evident, but this is one of my favorites:

Minutes after we took these (above) the storm hit hard!

The Toasts were very touching. And hilarious:

Here’s the first part of Rachel and Michael’s beautiful ring ceremony and reception, held at The Merion Tribute House in Radnor, Pennsylvania.

First, getting ready at the Montrose Mansion.

First look:

Rachel’s not a tap-lightly-on-the-shoulder kinda gal!

Stunning flowers by Shannon Monson:

Here’s the terrace of The Merion Tribute House just before a big summer storm:

Event design and details by Black-Eyed Susan‘s Susan Taylor. She brought Rachel and Michael’s vintage travel theme to life in many incredibly thoughtful ways. Vintage globes, cameras, maps, books, stamps, letters, luggage. She (and Shannon) thought of everything:

They used an old Atlas for the guestbook. Perfect:

Merry Christmas

Lori — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 08:56:01 +0000

I’ve been busy making magic this happy Christmastime and we are celebrating!

Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.

Joy to the earth, the Savior reigns!
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.

No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as, the curse is found.

He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders, of His love.

This was Ashley when she was sixteen. She’s now a senior, making big decisions and having a lot of fun! Here she is, my beautiful niece.
