The night before - a candlelit rehearsal dinner in the culinary garden welcomed guests with a seasonally inspired farm to table dining experience that was absolutely divine. Good wine and better conversation was had while celebrating alongside some of our dear industry friends.

Looking forward to tonight’s main event!

RING THE BELL(S)! 🔔 It was a happy coincidence when we pitched a palette to Olivia and Tyler that coincided with a retro color way of the groom’s beloved Phillies. We knew we had to swing for the fences on their seating chart, which developed into an interactive will call counter where guests retrieved their envelopes that held tickets assigning them to their seats. 🏟️

A custom logo for the newly wedded Burns featured the liberty bell turned wedding bells and personalized Cracker Jack boxes that rounded out the experience with a tasty detail. ⚾️

Steeped in the character of a historic venue, Olivia and Tyler’s wedding was full of timeless romance. Rich maroon hues and slate blue velvet infused each moment with sophistication, highlighting the season’s natural beauty. Tree-inspired details and deep red foliage created an intimate, moody ambiance that set the scene for this November celebration.

Amongst the soft rustle of autumn leaves, the iconic Biltmore Estate was a dreamscape for Taylor and Clark’s 10/10/20 wedding day and provided backdrops of seasonal beauty throughout every moment. As the sun dipped behind the Blue Ridge Mountains, their guests were seated on the front lawn to begin an evening of elegance and enchantment at every turn.

How do we create a statement when working within a neutral palette? By thoughtfully mixing complementing luxe linens, weaving together rich textures, and curating dynamic tablescapes to elevate your event design while maintaining a refined aesthetic. For this gala, we alternated the layered placesetting combinations to add interest and create a cohesive look that was anything but ordinary.

As autumn whispers its arrival, we’ve got Whitney and Peter’s Colorado wedding on the mind. Inspired by the beauty of the surrounding aspen trees, their tented celebration brought the outdoors in and captured the crisp essence of fall through a perfect blend of rustic elegance and natural charm.

Here’s to the approaching excitement of golden leaves and gatherings wrapped in the warmth and coziness of this special season! 🍂

It’s giving peach season. 🍑

We love a plated meal because it allows us to design two elements that we thrive at - a seating chart and tablescape. As a nod to our foodie influencer bride, we wanted to incorporate a seasonal ingredient into Beck and Jack’s reception. For a late July wedding with a true summer palette, fresh peaches were the obvious answer!

Their “Reservation for Laster, Party of 115” seating chart was adorned with guests’ es**rt cards and summer blooms, all set amidst Mexican handblown glassware. The pièce de résistance to complete this restaurant-themed display was a custom ‘Please Seat Yourself’ restaurant sign in their colorway!

Swipe to see how we also incorporated peaches onto their dining tables.

We aren’t ones to shy away from floral maximalism! This Bridgerton-inspired reception featured a bountiful hydrangea-lined head table beneath 24 feet of suspended florals, a stunning wisteria canopy over the dance floor, and guest tables adorned with the lushest spring blooms. It was an unforgettable celebration of elegance and romance that embodied the beauty and colors of spring. 🌸

Swipe to see why we leaned into the beauty of low and organic for Whitney & Peter’s ceremony design. Sometimes the true statement is found in the location itself - a reason we favor destination weddings with breathtaking scenic views! ⛰️

We are privileged to work with clients who leave a lasting impact on our lives far beyond their events.

Shortly after Olivia and Brendan got engaged, she and her mother contacted us to plan a surprise intimate wedding...and we had a few weeks to make it happen. This fun-loving family immediately made an impression on us - they exuded strength, grace, and perspective in a way that humbled and inspired everyone around them. Our team
orchestrated and delivered a magical surprise wedding amidst the skyline of downtown Raleigh for their family. And to us, they gifted us with much more.

On Global ALS Awareness Day, we remember Olivia’s dad, Jeff. While we only interacted for a brief time in his story, his warmth and infectious personality will stay with us forever. We were honored with the opportunity to have celebrated Olivia and Brendan’s wedding with him. Cheers to you, Jeff.
