Looking to elevate your wedding table design? ✨ Sometimes, it’s the smallest details that make the biggest impact. A pop of color in your napkins, florals, or glassware can transform a neutral tablescape into something unforgettable!

We’re overjoyed to share that Michael Thompson, the heart, soul, and better half of Dogwood Gatherings and Events, is officially back! After a year of navigating medical challenges with resilience and grace, Michael has rejoined our team, bringing his signature warmth, creativity, and dedication to our couples.
