LONG overdue on sharing details from Ashley and Joel's wedding day! Ashley had GREAT taste, and we had the pleasure of bringing her beautiful vision to life.😍

The simple and elegant details gave the day a timeless and romantic feel, while showing people a glimpse of exactly who they were as a couple.

Brooke was a complete vision of beauty and grace, and it was most definitely reflected in her and Steven's gorgeous day. 😍 We are so grateful that we got to be a part of it!

Hello world! It's been a MINUTE, but we're still here! We're getting ready for our 2024 wedding season and had a wonderful time last night at Mystic Ponds Estate - Wedding & Event Venue getting to meet some of our amazing 2024 couples. We also got to see some GORGEOUS faux floral samples from Flora + Frost. If you're in the market to rent florals, make sure to check out her page and don't hesitate to reach out with questions on custom colors and arrangements. We can't wait to kick off the season next month!

Hello everyone! Mel here - Just wanting to post a little update on what's been happening with Ashley and myself, and what's to come for the rest of 2023.

In the next couple of weeks I'll be welcoming a second little one into the world and will be heading out on maternity leave for a few months. Before that happens, we just wanted to send out a BIG thank you from the bottom of our hearts to all our clients this year who trusted us with your events, weddings, and interior projects. We are SO grateful to each and every one of you for making our first year on this new adventure such a memorable one. 🤍

With that being said, we still have a couple of weddings and projects to finish out the 2023 year, and already have weddings on the books for the 2024 season. We are also extremely excited for a new partnership with Mystic Ponds Estate - Wedding & Event Venue, and can't wait to collaborate with new couples, vendors, and all the other behind the scenes staff who work tirelessly within the wedding industry. We will still continue to respond to all inquiries via email, Facebook, and Instagram. Please just be patient with us as we navigate and adjust to this new season of life.

We wish you all the best and hope to see you down the road! 💕

We had so much fun adding some industrial modern touches to these previous blank walls for this mini office project! Our junior design assistant also approves. 🥰 Jeremy E. Schoenherr, RICP - Northwestern Mutual

We had a nice tour at Wedges Creek Hideaway a few weeks ago, and realized they offer so much more than great pizza and entertainment! If you’re looking for a rustic and laid back atmosphere to host a party or wedding, then this little hideaway could be a great fit for you! From the wooded scenery to the convenient option of having cozy cabins and a campground on site, you and your guests can enjoy the night and make it into a little overnight or weekend getaway! Also coming spring 2024 there will be an additional ceremony space available in their wooded forest among the beautiful oak trees. We look forward to working with couples there in the future!

We kicked off our wedding season yesterday at Willow + Oak Event Center at Hillsboro Brewing Company, and had the best day celebrating Ashley Smith and Max! There was so much thought put into every detail and you could feel the love radiating from everyone who surrounded them. We were so honored to be a part of their special day! Congratulations again to the Cuppetts!!

When we first walked into this beautiful home, it was clear just how much thought and attention was put into it. There were so many personal touches that added to the unique character that you typically don’t see in other newly built homes.

We were honored to add a few finishing touches to help bring some of the spaces to life even more!
