I’m not just planning a wedding--I am marrying the stylistic and strategic details of the day that marks the beginning of a beautiful new adventure. A day that represents years of courtship, the blossoming of love, and of all those indelible memories shared both by the Bride and Groom and by family and friends. From the way a Bride feels when she finally finds the perfect wedding dress, to the fee

ling of having your nearest and dearest all in one room, to the joy you feel when you see all the swoon worthy details debut that were perfectly styled to represent you as a couple, it is the joy around your wedding day that keeps me so enthralled.

A favorite task of designing a clients wedding is tapping into what visually makes their heart and eyes happy. 😍

Are they a minimalist or maximalist?

Drawn to symmetry or asymmetry?

What color story feels like them?

What font styles speak them?

Are they drawn to gold or silver?

Prefer patterns, solids, or textured soft foods?
and on and on….

The differences via the preferences are what make each event unique, and in the end be a personal reflection of the couples own aesthetic.

Three fun facts about boutonniere’s…

The word “boutonniere” comes from the French word boutonnière, which means “buttonhole flower”

Every time I spell boutonniere on a timeline, I second guess my self. Often times I say “forget it!!” and just write ‘bout.

The most overused wedding day joke is for a grandpa or groomsmen to pretend I stuck them when I am pinning said ‘bout. In 20 years of pinning ‘bouts I’ve never stuck anyone, but have heard that joke a couple hundred times!😂

Texture + a cheerful color story was the name of the game, for this rehearsal dinner design.

I love when a Bride decides to source a second dress. Whether they decide to only wear a family heirloom wedding gown for the ceremony, want a different look for their grand exit, or opt to switch into a dress that’s easier to dance in or - I fully support the decision to have two looks for one day!

We were astounded by Jessica Rourke’s intelligence, creativity, professionalism, energy and thoughtfulness. She was always calm, steady and kind. We will be forever grateful! She left a permanent imprint on our event and our hearts! If you are considering hiring a Wedding Planner, look no further. Jessica Rourke is the absolute BEST! The compliments are still rolling in from our guests. - Kathy, Mother of the Bride

How lovely is this large stone fireplace in a historic bank, turned event venue?

This space use to be the board room - but now serves as a sweet escape from the ballroom for those who wish to sit + chat away from the dance floor. Are you someone who is on the dance floor the entire reception or prefer to find a place to be able to easily converse with friends and family?

I love the difference seasons bring to a wedding day environment. Late Fall + Winter weddings have a coziness that comes with them. The combination of the sun setting earlier, the candlelight flickering brighter, the chance to bring in textures like velvet or wool, and the opportunity to have guests welcomed to the reception with a lit fireplace.

Each season brings it’s own sweetness, be sure to lean into it - both in weddings and your life 🤍

It may have been a rainy wedding day, but Ali and her ladies brought all the color + cheer to Forest Lake Club.

Ali’s vibe was fun and refreshing right from the start, with her first email inquiry including a Pinterest board titled “Eloise at a 1998 Private Party at Garibaldi’s” - IYKYK, Garibaldi’s was a great restaurant in our home town, that is no more. Ali was inspired by photos of her parents birthday parties there in the 90’s, memories of wearing giant bows in her hair as a young girl to brunch with her Grandmother at the country club, and the classic vibe of ballroom glam. We had so much fun through the planning process of pairing quirk with classic details!

Back at last at my computer, with coffee in hand - it may be a new year, but the work necessities are the same!

As I enter my 17th year of business {!!} I am grateful and looking forward to getting back to planning clients weddings in both South + North Carolina…as well as Italy!! 🇮🇹

To past and current clients - I am thankful for your trust as I take you through the event planning, design and orchestration process.

Cheers to you - may your year be full of fun, movement, friendship, delicious food, quality time, rest, and new adventures!

Final prep before guests enter the reception space is an important time for our team. We walk through and make sure everything is visually perfect. While we walk through and perfect with our professional eye - we also perfect with our hearts for our clients. We want it perfect for YOU, your family and your guests. We get to be your professional eyes and hands while you get to enjoy this big celebration around your marriage!

This typically includes, confirming that chairs are barely touching the linens, place settings are perfectly aligned, triple checking the guest place cards at each table with our master seating chart, lighting each candle, cueing the bartenders to be in place, and having the band on hand ready start the background music.

Did I mention dining the overhead lighting? I promise, I take dimming lights quite seriously - it’s a game changer 😉
