There’s something so tender about a petite garden party… even in 95 degree heat! 🌿💙🥵

For this 21st birthday, we leaned into the beauty of chinoiserie, fresh hydrangeas, and soft summer light. It was intimate, elegant, and oh-so-sweet—just like the Birthday girl herself, who has grown into a woman doing big, bold, beautiful things in this world.

Sometimes the smallest tables hold the biggest hearts. 🫖✨

I don’t want to give you a wedding—I want to give you your wedding. The one no one else could have. The one that lasts a lifetime. ✨Something magical happens when you really listen. Not just to the words, but to the heart behind them. When a couple tells me their dream, I don’t just take notes—I tune in.

We love designing in this season where simplicity shines. A vibrant bloom, a warm breeze, and suddenly everything feels effortless and alive. 🌿

Here’s to summer events that let the flowers do the talking. 🌹✨

When my wife and I got together, I never imagined gay marriage would be legal in Kentucky. Back then, I think part of me believed staying quiet—staying in the background—was safer. But I was never meant for the background.

This Pride Month, I’m reflecting on how far we’ve come—not just legally, but personally. Being able to celebrate love out loud, plan weddings for every couple, and know that our love is just as worthy… that’s everything.

I get to help people say “I do” — legally, equally, and joyfully — and that is always worth celebrating.

Love is love. It shows up in all shapes, all stories, and all beautiful forms. 🌈💍

They’ll tell you the Derby is all hats, horses, and high society—but we know better.
Hunter S. Thompson and Ralph Steadman saw the truth under the tulle: bourbon breath, muddy heels, smeared lipstick, and Southern charm just on the edge of chaos.
This isn’t just a race—it’s a full-blown fever dream in pearls and pastels.
Decadent? Always.
Depraved? Proudly.
And that’s where the magic lives.
Not in the polished, pretty version—
But in the grit, the edge, the wild tradition that’s been throwing roses and rules to the wind for decades.
This is Derby, the Simply Sara O way. 🏇✨
