Yesterday's wedding at Union 12 was full of love, sweat, and b***y shaking. Fiona debuted for her first paid working gig. Sarah Whelchel kicked ass as per usual. Today I am in Ossian with Jayma Mosher who completed setup and rehearsal yesterday alongside Tracy Hershberger . SO GRATEFUL for the bella & fern events team. Let's close out June strong (and hydrated 🥵.)

Less than 24h post event awesomeness and our client took the time to share her experience. The greatest compliment you can give are reviews and referrals! As a small business, we do not allocate a ton of funding to marketing. We prefer to invest in our employees, training, and supplies for our clients. Thank you Carol for spreading the word and congratulations to Tommy and Megan!

Where has time gone? It seems like just yesterday was donning her tiara and walking down the aisle to meet ❤️ So glad we became friends through the process and can keep in touch as a life of love unfolds. Happy anniversary Katie and Tyler!

When everything comes together, with all of the right people, wrapped in love 💕

Spring fever is upon us! This time of year I keep thinking about planting the flower garden and my fav white ball dahlias. We have so many amazing local farms to source lovely ingredients from, since admittedly my own dahlias were lackluster last year!
Your event flowers will truly include the best floral delights around ✨
