This might be the best time of year…

fall wedding inspiration
I think fall might be my favorite time of year, and nothing is better than autumn in Charlottesville, Virginia, where we shot this table last year.

sneak peek!
It was a busy, busy weekend for Merriment. It all started on Thursday with the Ghouls Night Out event at the shops at 5807 to benefit the Massey breast cancer research program, then we were off to Jenny’s wedding (she’s a fabulous baker who owns Sweetest Thing Bakery in Richmond), and ended with an event last night at Anthropologie. Although none of the professional images are in just yet, I thought I’d share a little sneak peek of some of the pictures I grabbed really quickly this weekend. Full posts coming soon!
Joie of Flower Girls made the most amazing arrangements for Jenny’s wedding that she nestled in vintage tins (Jenny collects them). The dahlias were just so vibrant and beautiful.


Jenny, bride and baker extraordinaire, made dozens and dozens of cookies that we displayed on vintage stands.
For the Anthro event last night, Janie Medley made the most gorgeous arrangement of tulips that we displayed on a vintage wooden stand.
We displayed cupcakes by Two Sweet on vintage drawers. They were delish! The event was a lot of fun and a great success. I can’t wait to share Tammy Keefer’s pictures of the event with you!
Pretty details for fall
