If you’re following along, you may be waiting to hear what the other half of J + D’s tables were like: rounds covered in creamy velvet linen! We switched up the napkin fold from the farm tables to create interest, had larger mounded centerpieces that were more floral heavy and used some natural wood candle holders with thick taper candles.

kills the game! This was such an interesting concept I brought to them, (inspired by ) so easy to print and ship, install was probably the most challenging. It’s ao amazing when something comes together just as you envisioned! I really loved how romantic and whimsical this felt while making a huge impact at cocktail hour! Thanks for making magic!

Here’s our top 9 photos that you liked best! Reflecting as we do this time of year, we had a damn successful 2018 for this little business of mine. 16 weddings in total, many were the best we have ever done! Personally, this year was NUTS! Two of the most important people in my life now have HUSBANDS, and I am a FIANCÉ. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I just don’t know how we packed it all into one year. Thank you to each and every one of you who helped in the success of these events and carried me along, kept me sane, kept me motivated and positive through the tough work of owning a business and growing pains of it all. 2019 is looking like another good one and I’m excited to see what’s in store! ✨

A burst of tiny yellow buds brings a pop of sunny color to an otherwise neutral centerpiece by April Flowers, SLO. We love how the arrangement's vessel—a stone planter that's taller than it is wide—proves that the compote shape can be achieved with a variety of different base types (not just a wide bowl!).

I’ve never seen my sis look so pretty or so happy. As August gets closer, I’m realizing we aren’t just planning a fun party, or talking about some random persons wedding; she’s actually getting married. It’s her wedding, and for some reason lately that all seems VERY REAL! Congrats, sis! 2 months to go!
