Sometimes simple elegance is the way to go.
These invitations for Catie and Chris’ wedding were printed using thermography, giving the lettering a beautiful, raised, and glossy finish. The mother of the bride requested a classic design, and I think we nailed it with this timeless combination of charcoal gray and white.

What a joy it was to design this sculptural chuppah for this amazing couple!

Inspired by their love of greenery and modern aesthetics, we used lush monstera leaves, robellini palms, and reca palms to craft a design that felt both organic and artistic. We also incorporated some strategically placed flowers to add just the right touch of softness and color. The clean lines of the copper frame added a sleek, sculptural quality that made their ceremony space feel truly one of a kind.

These two are as vibrant and unique as the greenery surrounding them, and their joy was absolutely contagious!

This summer wedding at the Roostertail was all about mismatched charm and vibrant details!

The bride had a vision for every element to be uniquely eclectic, and we brought it to life!

From colorful wine glasses (painstakingly collected over months!) to unique bud vases and bright blooms, no two tables were the same.

The result? A stunningly unique atmosphere where every detail felt personal and full of character.

You don’t always hear the terms “rustic” and elegant” combined, but for Shirley & Kevin’s wedding, we managed to do just that. Everything from the custom signage and gift box to the candle holders was created to add to the overall feel of their wedding day. It was warm, inviting, comfortable, and timeless. The way everything pulled together couldn’t have been a better representation of them and I am so happy with how it all turned out. Aren’t those votives gorgeous?

At Designs That Matter, we offer a variety of decor pieces to match any style and bring your vision to life. We specialize in creating personalized details you never imagined, always thinking outside the box to make your event truly unique.

If you could combine any two words to represent your own wedding vision, what would they be?

For me, there is so much I love about providing decor for Bar and Bat Mitzvahs. I get to meet some very interesting young adults. They are often wise beyond their years and have the most exciting vision for their party.

Sylvie told me that she wanted her event to center around Nirvana. How cool is that? The room was filled to the brim with lilies and the smell was out of this world. The disco balls, black candles, and purple up-lights pulled everything together and we couldn’t have asked for a better venue than Circe bar.

There’s so much I love about this trend of pocket boutonniere!
📌 It’s the intricate details that truly bring them to life - and I love details.
📌 More flowers! - Men deserve more than 1 little flower on their jacket, right?
📌 An added bonus - there’s no need for pins. Simply tuck it into the pocket, and you’re good to go.
