• Today, I celebrated another trip made around the sun ☀️ and I'm walking into year 28 with the biggest smile on my face.⠀ ⠀ This past year was pretty dang incredible. I grew in my relationships, friendships, and business. I traveled, I experienced, and I loved more than ever. We bought a house, and we found out #babybonham was officially on her way... and that she was, in fact, a she 😉💘 It was a year for the books. ⠀ ⠀ But this year? This year is bound to bring some of the most exciting, terrifying, gratifying, and challenging moments of my life to date. And you know what? I'm ready. Well, as ready as one can be at least. ⠀ ⠀ 28, I think we're going to get along just fine ✨ ⠀ ⠀ 📷 @mikkelpaige

  • Happy Valentine’s Day, babes! ❤️ it’s an extra special day around here because it’s also our 2 year anniversary here at Magnolia and Grace Events! 🎉 In case you’re curious, here’s the story of us! This labor of love has been about 10 years in the making. Back then, I was gearing up to leave for JMU (#godukes!) to get my business degree in Hospitality and Tourism Management. I was taking on every single opportunity that came my way to learn as much as I could about the industry and the world of events, from working at a premier event venue to interning for a corporate event planner and everything in between. I was just as eager then as I am today to soak up as much knowledge as I could! Fast forward to six years ago and I officially made my debut into the world of events (and haven’t looked back since!). I started out planning corporate and non-profit events, and slowly transitioned into weddings and social events as well. I loved every minute of it and was fortunate enough to work with some amazing clients and have several incredible mentors along the way! Finally, 2 years ago, Jordan and I made the decision to move to Raleigh, NC. It was a brand new start and with it came the other love of my life, this little heartfelt business of mine. I chose to officially open our “doors” on Valentine’s Day because I couldn’t think of a more perfect day to celebrate a business built on love and celebrations. I believe in helping couples and corporations build long-lasting legacies that live well beyond the pretty details that fade with time. I believe in celebrating life’s special moments with love and grace. I’m thankful to be doing what I love and beyond excited to kickoff year 3 (🎉) with some truly amazing events! xo, m
