Celebrating Love after Loss

February 1, 2021 Tara Inge

My Dad passed away in August of 2013 and my wedding was June 2014. So I had about 9 months to figure it all out before my wedding. If I am being honest, I had thoughts of not having a wedding. I wasn’t interested in planning it anymore. I wasn’t interested in talking about this when all I could think about was how my dad won’t get to see me get married. He won’t get to walk me down the aisle like he did for my sister. He won’t give an amazing speech like he did at my brother and sisters wedding. He wont get to dance the Daddy daughter dance with me and dance his silly dance moves all night long.

Veronica + Kevin: Destination Orlando, Florida Wedding

February 22, 2017 Tara Inge

We are ramping up for a new wedding season and reminiscing about last years wonderful weddings!

I had a baby three months ago, which is why it has been so long since my last post, but I have been waiting to get this wedding to you and hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Take a look at this stunning destination wedding in Orlando, Florida. The ceremony took place at Corpus Christie Catholic Church in Celebration and the reception was held at the Omni Championsgate Orlando.

I know Veronica from college. We both have a love for basketball and played whenever we could find a court. Oh and we were the intramural champions 2 years in a row!! Enough about the glory days...Let's get to the good stuff. Veronica and I reconnected in Baltimore just before she got engaged to Kevin and I was delighted to have her back in my life. After a quick get together, I could tell how much love they had for each other and how happy they made each other. Soon after that get together they were engaged! Veronica contacted me about designing her invitations and I couldn't have been more excited! Together we came up with some really great elements to make each piece personal and meaningful and bring the wedding day together.

I just can't get enough of all the beautiful unique details from her engagement ring, to the JMU and UNC ice luge, bells of Ireland flowers, and THAT DRESS!

Have a look for yourself all the greatness that was Kevin and Veronica's Wedding day!

Cass + Mike: Bluemont Vineyard Virginia Wedding

November 3, 2016 Tara Inge

Cass and Mike (Diddy) joined forces at The Bluemont Vineyards in Virginia. This venue had views for miles and miles, but that didn't compare to the stunning bride. Cass had it all going on! She looked amazing!!!

I loved the dusty rose/purple colors of the bridesmaids dresses with an accent of deep purple for the maid of honor. What a perfect color combo for a vineyard wedding!!! There were touches of burlap and lace throughout the decor and it came together so perfectly. All the right pieces came together to make a really remarkable day for Cass and Mike.

These two have so many fun adventures to go on together and I couldn't be happier for them.

Congratulations! You two are so perfect for one another.
