Inspired Creations Contest : Breakfast Buffet Reception

Happy Monday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend!

I'm thrilled that today our Inspired Creations contest entry is featured on the lovely & inspiring Elizabeth Anne Designs!! Head over & check it out for even more details! 

I was so lucky to have the opportunity to work with Elizabeth & Chris, the talented husband & wife team behind Dapper Paper and the incredible & amazing Leila of Olive Juice Photography. 

We created a lovely Southern-Style breakfast reception which would be perfect for a unique rehearsal dinner or a laid-back wedding reception.

We wanted to create an idea that was thoughtful, budget friendly & full of ideas that you can use for a fete of any kind.

A farmhouse dresser is stocked with traditional southern favorites, such as grits, sliced tomatoes, flapjacks & biscuits 'n jelly. Dapper Paper created the sweet food labels, along with other signage for the shoot.

 Gorgeous hooks from Athropologie, nailed to a tree, hold our escort cards.

Dapper Paper created the sweetest recipe card favors, complete with a recipe for Grandma's Biscuits! You can now purchase these adorable cards {blank so you can customize them} by visiting their shop!

Real Wedding: Eadaoin & Daniel

Today's wedding is dear to me, as Eadaoin has been a long-time reader of my blog and I have been a long-time fan of her blog and photography. 

This lovely wedding took place at Holycross Abbey in Ireland in the village, where Eadaoin grew up. 

  Eadaoin came across the perfect dress by accident while browsing with her mum one afternoon. It's not a wedding dress, rather a sweet maxi dress with a simple silhouette. Her three bridesmaids are her sisters and they found their dresses at a charming shop in Dublin's city center, called Emma.

Before the reception, Eadaoin & Daniel spent some time with their photographer, Shane O'Neill getting some lovely shots at a the old Kilcooley Estate & Abbey ruins.

Their reception took place at the gorgeous Langton House Hotel in Kilkenny City. 

The cupcake bar was created by The Two Dames Coffee Boutique.

Thank you so much, Eadaoin, for sharing your lovely day with us!

Stop by her blog for tons of inspiration & gorgeous photography!
