Grit & Grace is a wedding and special events design and coordination company. Laura and Megan both have a back ground in fashion, film, and catering.

With a team mentality each of our clients gain the advantage of multiple perspectives. We believe that it is not only identifying the clients dream and vision but also pairing the perfect professional for each one of their needs. A fabulous event can not be done by one person alone!

Names: Megan Pollard and Laura Ritchie
Where you call home: Virginia
Things you’d write home to your Momma about: We are so proud and privileged to receive a number of unique recognitions and features in Southern Weddings, Martha Stewart, The Knot National Magazine, Washingtonian Bride & Groom, Style Me Pretty, Green Wedding Shoes and more. We have been listed in the Washingtonian Bride & Groom Best of List for four years and voted “One to Watch” twice!
Location/coverage: DC, Maryland and Virginia
Favorite Southern City: All of our hearts yearn for Charleston, South Carolina. We love it so much that we helped throw our Lead Coordinator’s bachelorette party there. Where else could you pull off a Speak Easy Strut in style?! We just love the history, charm, sophistication, and color that Charleston shares with the east coast.
Anthropologie or Pottery Barn: Now this is a question. It’s no secret that Anthropologie is our happy place. In fact at times, Anthropologie means to us what Tiffany’s meant to Holly Golightly. On the other hand, you can find us on any day that ends in Y stocking up at Pottery Barn. I think that is the beauty about design, you don’t have to choose!
