13 years of marriage ❤️
(Swipe to see us 13 years ago! ➡️)

13 years, 3 kids (and one almost here!), 4 foster kids, and ALL the joy and ALL the hard work. Wouldn’t trade it for the world.

I love you, . We’ve come so far, fallen so much more in love, grown so much more into “ourselves”, and I am looking forward to how far we will continue to go ❤️

When gold-medalist asked us to do her wedding, with a “wildflower” theme, we couldn’t have been more excited! Kaleigh and Tom were so full of joy and so excited to celebrate their love…we had so much fun planning and celebrating with them on their wedding weekend!

From the oversized colorful floral arch to the dance floor with the couple’s monogram, the floral linens to the watercolor seating chart, their private estate wedding was so FUN!

This Kentucky Derby Party 🏇🏿 was one for the books! From the custom photo backdrop with the pink horse to the sailcloth tent, oversized paper flowers to the custom hats displayed throughout the tent, it was an afternoon to remember! We always love partnering with companies to bring their social events to life…and while we can always do something timeless and elegant, it’s always fun to lean in to a good theme 🎊.

I always love a disco after party 🪩 - we love a themed celebration after the more formal designs of the wedding day! From jungle to disco, pirates to NYC nightclubs, Parisian eateries to Irish pubs - the after party is always a fun place to incorporate playful design that continues to tell the story of the couple ✨.

Disco madness from my birthday last year…always love a sparkly moment, especially at this time of year ✨

When the wedding is timeless and classic, but the couple wants a dramatic colorful twist…

We had so much fun bringing this “Malibu-Barbie-inspired” dancing space to life! After a traditional ceremony, cocktail hour, and multi-course dinner, the guests were surprised with a fun and funky dance club, with watercolor portraits of each guest on display (from ), amazing furniture from , a custom dance floor from , a pink candy bar, and all the fun pink florals.

Happy Holidays from the TSE team!! A glimpse at our holiday party we hosted for some of our key vendor partners - what a night (with a subtle nod to emerald city). This was definitely a year of “defying gravity” - and I could not be more proud of my team and our creative partners, and the amazing work we got to produce together, the amazing opportunities we have brought to each other and to Santa Barbara, and all the big dreams we have moving forward.

We danced the night away at with .agency, enjoyed amazing cocktails and charcuterie ( ), incredible draping and lighting from , rentals from and , and entertainment from (and .elix had the best coffee cart!). A huge thank you to my friends and for capturing the evening so beautifully.

We’re loving dramatic draping right now…and have some really fun designs incorporating it in 2025 and beyond…

7. Styling and fine tuning
8. Sweeping

Just keeping it real - it’s not all glamorous, but it’s a wonderful life!

has released that “Mocha Mousse” is the color of the year, and I’m not upset about it 🤎

We already have this incorporated in to several upcoming designs…and we’re loving all the warm natural/neutrals around here (especially when juxtaposed with color!)

What an incredible destination wedding at Beaulieu Gardens in Napa...my favorite design element was the 24’ long handing arrangement over the head table. Fun Fact: we had less than an hour to build this onsite, and we finished it in 45 minutes with just four people. I love my hardworking team and how we are able to creatively make things happen under pressure!

A rooftop welcome dinner in downtown Santa Barbara under a blanket of lights...​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​We love when our couples host a welcome celebration for their guests: it's not only another fun opportunity to celebrate and gather, but also a great way to greet everyone, so you can enjoy and be more present on your wedding day.

Thankful doesn’t even begin to cover it. I am so thankful for these humans - guys, my team is amazing. This week I’ve been reflecting on this past year and all of the amazing (and challenging) events we had the honor of producing…and wow. This group of people worked SO HARD (at times in what felt like impossible situations!) to make so much beauty happen. From large-scale florals being produced in super limited amounts of time, to carting heavy design materials across entire resorts, to meticulously sorting paper goods and lighting thousands of candles (and so much more), to managing guests/itineraries/vendors/logistics, and of course, ALL the curve-balls that events always present…this season was our best (and most intense) yet. And none of it would have been possible without this amazing team. Here’s to an amazing year, and to all the beauty that this next year will bring 💚

This entire wedding design started with inspiration from one of the classic china patterns…from the embossed invitations to the reception linen patterns, each green and white detail was curated based on their preliminary inspiration! From the huge floral arch with baskets of hydrangea at the base to the floating hydrangeas in the lily pond, re-carpeting the ballroom to make the linens really pop to all of the cane detailing in the chairs, candles, and bar accents…this quietly luxurious design was so warm and inviting!
