Behind the scenes look at what went into creating this magical Disney wedding...over a year of thinking... planning...creating... painting...crafting...cricutting (is that a word 😊). ...by our team and families...Chad.. Debbie.. Katie... Angela...Paul Michael and Jim. Thanks to Kasey and Cody for giving us an idea and the latitude to just run with it...

A Disney wedding was the dream wedding for Kasey and Cody...but it had to be red black white and silver ....classy... not like a kid's birthday party...but for adults...and stay on a budget. This was one of our biggest challenges yet....it was over a year in the planning...thrifting... crafting...and decorating stages....by not just me but my entire staff...Most everything used in this decor was thrifted...or created...this was definitely a team effort to make this couple's dream wedding come true...so blessed to work with this group of people...and so happy to work with this couple on this very special theme wedding.

It's been an interesting year but somehow weddings still managed to go on...with a lot of adjustments. Such was the case of Allison Stolte and Jacob Wiskamp's wedding and reception. When the venue was closed up....the entire family chipped in and turned their barn into the perfect venue. Thanks to Jacob... Becky...Vanessa and Dean Wiskamp... Becky Stolte and their entire family and friends. I also want to thank my entire crew for adapting to unusual circumstances...Chad Purdy... Deborah Brittin...James Blaylock... Sophie and Jessica.

Barb made my daughter and son in law’s wedding perfect! She goes above and beyond by taking care of every detail from getting the unity candle and programs to church and decorating it beautifully to making sure the hall is elegant just as planned.. she even took care of the snack table and helped us stay on schedule at the wedding.. I can not describe how helpful and hard working Barb is! Thank you Barb from the bottom of our hearts! The wedding was incredible and you played a major role. You put our minds at ease and we knew everything was taken care of.
