The details make it beautiful, but it's the love in the room that fills the space.

I am so incredibly grateful to be surrounded by so much love.

Hope you had a beautiful and fulfilling Thanksgiving!

It's my birthday!

Now, get out and vote!!! 😁 (For ) Of course...

Let's keep our country from going backwards again... There are so many issues in the world to tackle, we need to stop regulating who people can be and the choices people can make for themselves and their families, we need to focus on how we can make the world better for our families, our communities, our country, and the world.

Trans folks, abortion, immigrants - orange man likes to pump people up against others....who else did that??? Hi**er... If we stop the fighting, we can accomplish things that make a positive difference in people's lives, rather than fuel hatred and exist in a nation that becomes more toxic in so many ways.

VOTE VOTE VOTE!!! 💙💙💙

Yesterday was a day that touched so many of us and filled us with so much joy.

Kristin & Raj are the kind of people that are filled with so much love, care and kindness, they inspire and cultivate that love around them.

It was a privilege to design a day that reflected the beauty they project into the world and to see the reactions from guests knowing that the details were perfect...

Thank you to all of those who helped bring this vision to life especially to

A reminder that COLORS are not to be feared, they CAN look elegant and beautiful - just as neutrals and pastels can!! Read and see what I and other designers have loved!

Not all couples dream of hosting a wedding decorated with neutral and pastel shades—some desire a celebration full of bright, distinct, and out-of-this-world hues. If you resonate with the latter, check out our roundup of bold, unexpected wedding color palettes to consider for your big day.

I just love running into my previous couples at my current weddings!! Hearing about how they've bought a new home, or are experiencing parenthood, or just enjoying their lives exactly how they had been... Wish I had the time to catch up more during an event!!

It's such a great reinforcement and reminder that I'm providing a needed and valuable service in a small but ever growing community.

I keep wanting to throw a party with all of them and my newly signed ones, but planning something for myself is soooooo difficult!!!

The joy you feel working with me....lol... 😉

Actually the joy you feel when the weight and stress of planning and balancing expectations for the past 2 years has culminated in a beautiful day, YOU ARE MARRIED, and you get to escape the crowd and get a few moments to yourselves outside without being rained on before dancing you a** off!

Okay so I might be projecting my own joy into this post as well. I've been working with Quynh and Vikram for so long, they feel like family, so it was especially happy to see them FINALLY married and able to enjoy their day!!
♥️♥️♥️

Happy PRIDE! 🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

In our MN South Asian community, one fabulous LGBTQ+ program to look for is SAQL - South Asian Q***r League , run by . Check it out, donate, refer a friend...spread the word.

It's important to realize that many in the Desi community (among so many others) do not accept 🌈 and ostracize folks who are just trying to be their authentic selves. It's why putting a shoot together like this, where we can CELEBRATE a real couple and be a part of NORMALIZING q***r SA weddings is so meaningful to all of us who made this happen..

Thanks to all those who participated:
