I love what I do because of the clients I am blessed to work with.

Alexa from the beginning had a vision of her wedding day. Her Pinterest board was neatly organized and thoughtful. When she shared it with me I was able to understand more clearly the design elements that she loved and the type of guest experience she wanted to achieve.

When I delivered her initial proposal, she immediately text me “…I also wanted to thank you for bringing my vision to life!! I cried looking at the pictures you sent. It’s exactly what I wanted and more! Absolutely perfect”. Keep in mind we haven’t made it to the wedding day yet… we just told the story through her proposal from beginning to end.

Then came the big day! All the things; the dance floor wrap, lighting, florals, linens, guest experiences all finally put together! Her room reveal reactions for ceremony and reception were just the best. Floored and elated at how it went from paper to real life.

Share your vision for your wedding day below! Let’s get excited about it together!

Let’s talk design. Not planning, design. We are the architects of your vision. It’s more than picking out linen colors… just sayin.

Concept, style, textures, colors, layout, flow, guest experiences, and atmosphere. From guest arrival to the end, it’s all gotta be cohesive.

Room reveals for my full service clients are my fav moments. The moment they get to see it in the flesh! All the design meetings and decisions finally come to fruition. The looks and gasps, tears of joy and speechlessness affirm why I do what I do. They can’t always see it all in their imagination or grasp the vastness of what is coming together, so their faith in me to deliver is my priority.

No matter how small or big, AWLL my clients and their visions are EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to me.

I am forever thankful to every client that has trusted me with their vision. They will never truly know how much I love them for having faith in me.

Enjoy❤️

Bride: Oh I want that….and that too!! You got it! I want you to have all the bells, whistles and gadgets too!! So, we can help make that happen❤️

Alanie & Pailin wanted cold sparks and dancing on a cloud for their first dance. Their guests loved it just as much ❤️❤️

Thanks for having all the cool things!

Repurposing is one of the best ways to get the most out of your florals! Here we repurposed the ceremony arch pieces to the sweet heart set up. Another great way is to use your centerpiece arrangements as aisle way pieces to add just that little extra touch! During the ccocktial hour everything gets moved and reset for the reception!

TIP: this works best when the cocktail area is in a separate location. It’s keeps the element of surprise as well as not creating chaos when moving pieces! This element gets added to our timeline schedule so all the vendors are aware of what’s happening especially your photographer!

HAPPY PLANNING!! 💚🤍🖤

First Dance: this can be a nerve wracking experience for some people but I promise you, if you don’t do it you’ll regret it. So get out there and share your first dance with your soulmate! Forget everyone else is there. Focus on your partner and be vulnerable in this intimate moment.

Kate & Kenny shared a beautiful first dance upon their beautifully wrapped floor. They chose this beautiful design and had install it and WOW was it gorgeous!! The lighting and Bertha booth by really helped bring it all together.

I luv a good flat lay🤗 js…. Just so much simplicity in this look and yet so elegant and full of detail. The Calathea leaf is one of my fav greens💚 …

For your wedding grab a shoe box, hat box, chest, or a container that you just love and here are some ideas of what to put in it for your photographer to do some flat lays:
•perfume & cologne from your wedding day
•Full invitation suite
•tie, bow tie or pocket square
•lace (maybe from a past family members dress
•shoes
•family heirlooms like pins or broaches
•cuff links
•ring box
•vow books
•earrings
•cork from your first bottle of wine together or a fav wine (bottle caps work too!!)
•get creative 🤍

Have it ready to go when you arrive and they will take it and create magic with it while you’re getting ready!

It’s been a HOT 🥵 minute since I’ve introduced myself lol so HEY YALL HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY!! Amanda here! We are almost through the first half of the year with 23 events down and 3 left in May, then 4 weeks off, then 2 in June, then 7 weeks off!! Wheeeeeeeeew yall we are hustling!! Did you know 2022 will be the busiest year in the wedding industry, in the US since 1984?! Yeah! Like crazy right!! This is year 8 of owning my own business and we are not slowing down! We broke so many goals these last 2 years but It hasn’t been easy.

We all have felt the ups and downs of the last couple years both personally and professionally. We all have had loss, gains, ups, downs, slow, busy, boring & overwhelming times. This world is roller coaster for sure. We have some major changes and plans going into 2023. So much prep this summer to get ready for 2023 but until then, we gonna keep grinding and creating some amazing weddings!!

Thank you everyone for your patience and support to my business whether it’s just a follow, share, like, referral or monetarily. It means the world to me, my team and my family!

Alright! Back to my regularly scheduled programming 🤣🤣

PS Florida Wedding Photo and Video Team] is amazing and took this photo. If you’re not inquiring about her services, you should be. Thank you Nata for taking this awesome pic❤️❤️

It’s all about the layers.. just like the early 2000’s🤣🤣 at least two tank tops was the rule.. 3 and you were killin it 😝

Tall big centerpieces
Low candles and bud vases
Medium vase arrangements….

Rounds with linens
Farm table with no linens and just cheesecloth runners
Different colors of napkins on the rounds vs the recs..

Keeping the same flatware, glassware, chargers and plates throughout to tie it all in.

These pieces are just a hint of what designers, like ourselves, do when they are creating your wedding day vision. I mean we have sooooo many areas we haven’t even talked about! This is literally just the guest tables 🤣🤣

We get in awwwwwwll the nitty gritty nooks and crannies of every aspect, of every space, throughout your entire event, everywhere you and a guest will experience. It’s just what we do.. it goes far beyond just picking out a color palette and grabbing some inspo photos from the black hole of Pinterest (I know, I get stuck in it too) 😩

This wedding was created from scratch with lots of love and a little blood, sweat and tears.. literally.

Enjoy 😉
