# Hitched On The Hill: Kaitlin & Jarrett {04.10.2015}

April 19, 2015 Jessica Eudy

Although we can't say this was technically the FIRST wedding on Ritchie Hill, it was the first as the "new" Ritchie Hill. We were honored to host the wedding of Kaitlin and Jarrett on April 10th, along with their rehearsal dinner on the 9th. The weather cooperated. The flowers were in bloom and it was perfect if you ask me!

Kaitlin and Jarrett decided on Ritchie Hill as their venue during the stage of serious construction but they could visualize how incredible the house would be! It was fun to see their reactions at occasional visits to see the progress. Needless to say, they were thrilled with the final outcome!

Kaitlin is an art teacher and met Jarrett's mom, who's also a teacher at the same school. Jarrett's mom said she knew before they even met that Kaitlin would be her daughter-in-law. (That's so sweet!) After some matchmaking efforts, she introduced them and now they are Mr & Mrs Bumgarner!

# Flowers, Linens & Moore

March 25, 2015 Jessica Eudy

If you’ve met Chelish Moore, you’ll never forget her spunky personality and endless knowledge of events! Give her a color and a style and let her creative mind run wild. Chelish Moore, owner and designer of Chelish Moore Flowers, is a jill of all trades.

Her business name underestimates her inventory of linens, props, furniture, and gorgeous floral designs. The variety of her inventory allows her to be able to design any style of event – from vintage to bling and everything in between!

Q: What’s your favorite part of a wedding?

A: Every bride is different and that keeps me on my toes! I’m not happy unless my brides are happy!

Q: How did you become a florist?

A: I started working in the industry in high school. It’s all I’ve ever done!

Q: How have weddings changed in your years of experience?

A: When I started, wedding receptions were mints and punch. It’s VERY different!

Q: What’s your favorite flower?

A: Hydrangea… in any color! It gives arrangements size and texture.

Q: What do you need to get through a Saturday? (I ask because I already know the answer.)

A: Sundrop.

Chelish is providing florals, props, and some linens for all three days of our grand opening this week. I hope you’ll stop by to see her work in person!

A friend & happy bride of Ms. Moore,

Jessica
