Happy anniversary Amy and Brett!
I can’t believe it’s been a year since this amazing wedding weekend in Tampa!
One of Amy’s bridesmaids texted me that she wanted to go to their wedding every day of her life, and I myself have the same sentiments even a year later. (Okay, well maybe every week because a lot goes into a wedding day as the planner. 😉)
They truly did do it all when it came to creating a wedding weekend that reflected the two of them and provided an amazing experience for their loved ones, and I would do it all again in a heartbeat.
Cheers to 1 year of marriage you two! 💞

Haley and Augusto’s wedding day at @fsorlando was overflowing with elegance...
Gold gilded details, lush florals by the amazing @thefloralway, and a beautifully monogrammed dancefloor were just a few of the stand out details from this beautiful day.
The plates from @treasuryrentals are definitely something that I still dream of... do you have a favorite detail

We pulled out all the stops when it came to transforming the Arias home into a Sweet Sixteen dream...
For the indoor space, what was previously a living area was turned into a chic backdrop, complete with a stunning balloon installation, lush florals, and the most beautiful cake.
And this was just inside- what we did outside was even more amazing!

A glimpse of what it looks like when your family throws you the best Sweet 16 and a surprise performance from your favorite @aboogievsartist happens...
Seeing Arianna and her friends’ reactions to @aboogievsartist was the absolute best!

That moment when @miguel announces you at your Sweet Sixteen...
(It’s that extra dance party between Arianna and her dad at the end for me though 😍)
I’m not sure if this can ever be topped. It’s certainly something that Arianna is going to remember forever... including the fact that there was basically an entire concert right in her backyard!

From inspiration to reality...
We shared a glimpse of these invitations a few days ago, but here’s a look at what the inspiration was for them! The invitations truly captured the magic of Holly’s childhood home, where her wedding day was taking place.
With only two months to step in and take over the planning of this wedding, we could not be more thrilled with how it all turned out.

Weddings are meant to be FUN 🎉
And there was no shortage of partying it up and enjoying the day at Holly and Joe’s Michigan wedding!
Their friends and family were clearly here for a good time and couldn’t be more excited to celebrate this pair’s beautiful love story.
And being that this gorgeous couple had recently welcomed a baby boy, there was even more to celebrate!
We’re sure these two will continue finding amazing things to raise a glass to throughout their life together. 💙
