When the skies part at the perfect time 🤍

Wedding planners hope and pray for clear skies for our clients meanwhile keeping back-up options front of mind. I wish we could control the rain because I dread having to admit to a couple on their wedding day that the weather just isn’t cooperating. We can’t predict how our clients will react when faced with this “Plan B” conversation but Alphoncina + Chase decided to take a gamble and kept the ceremony outside on the ship deck since the gorgeous floral arch and aisle were already built prior to the rain starting. Believe it or not, the rain magically gave way at just the right moment for .lyamuya + to luckily be married as planned under the most incredible sky

Planning this party was a dream come true! So honored I got to help bring this Barbie birthday party to life 💕

I played with Barbie’s growing up (maybe until I was too grown) and I loved imagining what I could be, the family, the dream house, and this celebration had all the pieces anyone could ever want in real life!!

What a way to welcome guests to Tuscany with this white party! Despite the downpour, we transitioned dinner under this granary terraza to keep guests out of the rain so that the only thing flowing was the pasta and wine! 🍷 🍝

Every summer my goal is to work for a few weeks in Europe and the last few September’s I’ve been lucky to spend the month here in Italy for weddings and events I’ve planned!

Reminiscing about this time last year we had an epic 40th birthday celebration in Positano for me and my besties 🛥️🥂

Popping a bottle for you tonight 🤍

Summer in Europe. There is nothing like it. And to get to plan weddings and do what I love for a month in Europe to wrap up the summer season is an actual dream come true. Feels good to be back by the Mediterranean Sea!

When Nicole reached out about planning her wedding she made the connection that we’re both Argentinean and I immediately knew that meant her wedding was going to be EPIC. I might be a little bias, but we know how to throw a good party!! 🇦🇷 With a menu of Argentinean food stations created by and a special dance set dedicated to Lionel Messi whose birthday happens to be the wedding date they chose, I’m still in awe how kept guests dancing for 5 non-stop uninterrupted hours under an incredible disco ball installation by 🕺🏻🪩 We didn’t know this would be our last wedding at this amazing venue but Nicole + Jackson’s would be a hard one to ever top!!

Floral notes 🎶

This baby grand piano was a high priority for Shannon + Steve when planning their ceremony music but also for and creating this medley of cascading florals turned out to be just the right key 🎹

Can’t wait to see how incredible our upcoming September wedding designs play out!

That moment you realize it’s time to relax… sit back and enjoy your wedding after all the months of planning! 📸

Shannon + Brodderick really didn’t want leave their cocktail hour but I convinced them to come and see their reception space before guests were invited in for dinner so they could see their beautifully designed reception before anyone else. It’s quick moments like these that us planners try to organically curate for our clients to enjoy every aspect of their wedding together (and photogrpahers do such a great job of candidly capturing) and seeing this photo makes me so glad they got to hang out alone together for a few minutes and lounge with their signature drinks before the grand entrance! Cheers to the newlyweds!
