Working with out of town couples/families to help create a dream day is always a challenge and also so fulfilling. Our sweet bride, Emillia, is living in OH, her amazing mom in TN and the wedding was in Charleston. After, lots of emails and texts, a few phone calls and several pictures, it was amazing to see the day come together to be the fairytale that Emillia dreamed of. Emillia’s crafty family made her table runners, ceremony wands to wave, ceremony arches and flower thank you gifts for their guests. They were absolutely perfect for the vision Emillia had for her day. The florals hanging from the tent ceiling and the bud vases full of colorful flowers really pulled the entire look together and gave such a whimsical feel. Thank you Emillia and Danny for trusting us to be part of your day.

Hi! It’s been a minute! Can’t wait to share photos of this day ❤️

We were honored to kick off our 2024 wedding season coordinating the wedding of Chrissy and Charlton. The ceremony was beautiful and classic held in our state capital rotunda. With music provided by just a violinist and cellist, it was magical. The bride and her entourage decorated the reception site with flowers arranged by none other than the bride herself. There were extra special decor from the bride’s parents wedding and a small gold plane to remind everyone of the groom. The day was absolutely perfect and David and I were so glad to be able to coordinate it. Thank you Chrissy and Charlton for trusting us and allowing us to coordinate your beautiful day!

Decorating this shower for Allison (or Katie as we know her) was a pleasure. Being able to bring a beachy vibe to Charleston on a day that the temperature was below 20° all day, was fun and needed!! A native of Charleston but now residing in North Carolina, Allison and her hubby, Ryan, love the beach. Sailboats, seashells, nets and balloons completed this sweet shower. Thank you Allison, Ryan, and grandmothers, Cindy and Debbie, for allowing us to help you celebrate the arrival of baby Sam.

2023 was so good to us, it was our busiest year to date. We had some fantastic clients, that we now call friends. We worked with vendors who are the best in the business. We had the support of previous clients who called us to do another event for them. We had the opportunity to do a Grand Opening for a major national corporation. We won best planning/coordinating in WV Magazine for the entire state, and named in the top 10 in another publication And most importantly we had the love, support and encouragement of our friends and family!

If you hired us to coordinate/decorate an event for you, if you hired us to decorate your home/business, if you shared a post or gave someone our name, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Our small business means the world to us!!

Here’s to an even more successful 2024!!
❤️ Steph & David

Taylor and Andrew’s wedding was sweet, loaded with emotion and perfectly them. The excitement I (Steph) had when Taylor messaged me about planning her wedding was overwhelming. Taylor has been in my life since she was 2 years old, I was honored to be a part of her day. Simple boho was our goal and I think we achieved that. The day was loaded with family, memories and laughter. Thank you both for allowing us to be part of your wedding day. We enjoyed every second of being there. We especially appreciate everyone jumping in to help breakdown everything!!! ❤️❤️

We had the honor and privilege to help plan and coordinate this amazing event for Mountain Stage Radio Show and West Virginia Public Broadcasting. For any program to last 40 years, you know they have to be doing something right. Mountain Stage is the home to amazing music by artist from West Virginia and beyond. The artists that have crossed their stage is truly unbelievable.

To celebrate 40 years of Mountain Stage we had live music by Jesse Milnes Band, as well as Tessa Dillon and Chance McCoy. Dinner was farm to table prepared by 1010 Bridge and was amazing as always! Also offered was a silent auction with items from Mountain Stage archives.

Mountain Stage also honored retired host and co-founder Larry Groce and current host Kathy Mattea. The amazingly talented Mountain Stage band was recognized as well.

Thank you Mountain Stage and WV Public Broadcasting for trusting us and our vision of decor for this huge night. Special thank you to Danielle, Adam, Mallory, Mandy and Alan, we appreciate you all. We can’t wait to do this again.

Stefani and Josh contacted us a year ago to start planning their wedding. It’s always a little more challenging to plan and coordinate when your couple lives in another state but with Stefani and Josh they made everything easy! The bride wanted a rustic feel using wildflowers. She was lucky enough to have a sister that designed her table centerpieces and they were so different and fun. David and I loved doing the beautiful wildflower bridal bouquet and bridesmaid’s bouquets of baby’s breath and seeded eucalyptus.

The couple had a complete party with an amazing band, Blaze the City! The dance floor was packed all night! We couldn’t say enough great things about The Kay’s and their friends and families! Thank you for trusting us with your big day!!

We started working with Jessica and Chris in January. We always feel a connection with our couples, to some level, but we clicked with Jess and Chris right off the bat! We loved their story and were glad to play a role in their big day. At our very first meeting Jess said she wanted lots and lots of candles and flowers. I absolutely think she got exactly what she wanted! Spurlock’s knocked the florals out of the park! Our candles mixed with those flower bowls were stunning. But, guys… that table arch🥰😍🥰😍 Matt and his team just absolutely couldn’t have made it any better.

The church was beautiful with very little decor added. Chris’ mom, Paula, did make the bows that we added to the outside of the pews and that added just the right touch to the beautiful sanctuary.

I could post a million pictures but I tried to control myself!! Thank you Jessica and Chris for trusting us with your day! Thank you for letting us take over and you taking the time to just be present and enjoy your wedding day! Can I also add that Jessica’s family is from my (Steph’s) hometown of Harlan, KY! That tidbit we found out after our first in person meeting!! ❤️❤️

When one of my (Steph’s) bestie’s is having a baby, we decorate her shower! Danielle’s love of all animals, but her owning the start of a small farm, gave us the idea for the shower! We wanted lots of pink and touches of the new baby for everyone to see. A cute backdrop was the centerpiece for the day, complete with white wicker chair draped with a handmade quilt for baby girl. Did I mention Danielle’s mom is an amazing cook and made all the food?!?!? Such a fun time! Congratulations Dede, after 3 boys I’m super excited for you to add a girl. 🩷

Sarah and Jeremy were the most relaxed couple we have ever coordinated a wedding for! The only request that was made was to stay rustic but classy, and at this venue that request is easy!! We loved that the couple used colors for their favorite college teams (orange from University of Florida and navy from West Virginia University) as their colors. The bride wanted something different for her bridesmaids to carry down the aisle and asked about fans, we enjoyed creating those as well. Can we also take a second to say that our groom and his son both sang at the reception and it was phenomenal! It was a perfect day at a perfect venue! Thank you Sarah, Jeremy and your families for being so fun and entertaining!

When Kierra and her mom, Kristie, reached out to us about doing this wedding we were so excited for several reasons. The first being we haven’t coordinated a wedding in this area and we love new places, the second was that it was a HUGE event and we love a challenge and three Stephanie grew up with Kristie and her sister in KY! We met and talked and planned for months and the guest list kept growing. Finally on the day of we were right at 300 guests and a million memories! The decor that was picked was amazing and the challenge of decorating 40 tables was exhilarating and honestly, we loved it! Thank you to the Humphrey and Wilshire families and everyone who helped us in any way. We had more help than we’ve ever had at any event and we appreciated it so much. We also loved the fact that we could see our work from the amazing balcony! We could share a million pictures but hope you enjoy the ones we picked! Thank you Kierra and Scott for trusting us with your day! Thank you for being so kind and letting us do what we love! We wish you a lifetime of happiness.
