Happy new year! I had grand plans of a 2021 recap since there are so many lovely weddings I didn’t post. But that is feeling less likely by the minute, and I do want to acknowledge all of you here on Instagram, and all of my amazing couples.
(Like our bride Tori, pictured here 🥰)

This year was challenging in many ways, but over and over again I was blown away by how amazing you all are and how fun the work was. Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who supported us by ordering valentines flowers and holiday wreaths, and who trusted us with your weddings! You allowed us to keep surviving this pandemic with so much less stress than might have been. And you gave me the chance to get creative with your amazing ideas. I’m so so thankful!

One of my goals this past year was to have more fun in the midst of the wedding day work - to be less critical of myself + the tiny details that weren’t exactly what I envisioned. I don’t want to end up burnt out or falling out of love with this work. And I believe we found success in that this year! I learned a lot about myself and how I relate to work, and we really did have more fun. It seems like a goal of such privilege, which I acknowledge. It’s a privilege to be able to take the risks required to have your own business. And then to ask of it to be more fun?! Sometimes that’s hard for me, because fun feels less serious, and less serious might mean mistakes or less quality work… but that’s not necessarily true. We can do a good job and still have fun! And ultimately, that brings me more freedom, which leads to more creativity and ultimately a better result.

Anyway, if you’re still reading, thank you haha. I don’t know my goals for 2022 yet, but I know we have more weddings booked than usual by January, and everyone is SO RAD that I know this year is going to bring some really fun and creative work. Hopefully I’ll actually share it online 😂

Josh and I love you all - our vendor friends/partners, our couples past present + future, and our family and friends and anyone else who has ended up here on this small slice of the internet. Cheers to 2022!!
