She and He Fridays: A Wedding Planner’s Wedding

My name’s Kendra Scott, I’m the Wedding’s Division Manager at Firefly Occasions and as of December 19th, I now have my own wedding to plan! Every Friday I write a feature article where I document my personal wedding planning journey each step of the way.

I have been so busy lately with all of the fabulous weddings we have been working on that I haven’t had a chance to blog about my own wedding at all. I was reminded last week by a fellow wedding planner that these blogs are missed, so here it is!
Today I booked my linens!!! This is really exciting news for me hahaha. I’m obsessed with beautiful fabrics Actually, I had been going back and forth for the past couple of months on a couple different options. One being a beautiful bustled combination and another being an alencon lace which we just used again this past weekend and it was stunning as always. Both linens can be seen in a previous Friday post featuring a vision board for my wedding. However, Wednesday morning I stumbled upon a new linen and fell in love. I was on the phone with Leslie from La Tavola Linens within seconds saying “I just saw a linen on Style Me Pretty and I need to know what it is!!” As though they aren’t featured on Style Me Pretty 10 times a day haha. Luckily she was willing to search through the posts they are tagged in and when I heard the name, I knew that me and this linen were a match made in heaven!

I have been in love with Monique Lhuillier since 2005 when I studied bridal wear in Toronto. I was in love specifically with one gown called Swan Lake, you may remember it, Barbie made a doll featuring this signature Monique gown. So in love, that when I came across this gown in a sample sale I bought it, even though it was two sizes too big (and I would not alter a Monique) and one other small detail….I wasn’t engaged. Minor detail right? Truthfully, I had no intention of wearing it at my wedding and now that I am engaged, I actually bought another gown. I just had to have that Monique Lhuillier gown in my possession for the rest of my life. So I bought it….like a designer purse. But back to my linens, I knew instantly that these linens were perfect for me. Then, I found out that they were called Monique Antique, named after/inspired by Monique Lhuillier! So, the order has been placed and I can’t wait for them to arrive!

I’ve attached the photo’s for you that caught my eye

I’m not sure if I already put this in a previous post, but we’ve also gone ahead and booked the Harp Angel for the ceremony which I’m very excited about. I think Jessi was going to try to upload a sample of her music in here for you. We haven’t selected our songs yet, that will be something to think about in the near future.

Lastly, I was thinking last night with my fiance that it might be really nice to have the guests greeted as they arrive at the ceremony with a mug of hot cocoa and marshmallows. So they can literally sit down with their hot cocoa and sip away at it while we get married. I figure it’s going to be a cold January afternoon and I just really want everyone to internally have a warm and cozy feel. I just hope no one spills on my linens hahaha.

Talk to you all soon!
