A vibrant destination dinner party for Kelly & Allen was the perfect way to kickoff our 2025 wedding season✨ these two were full of immense joy and gratitude all weekend long and had an incredible crew of family and friends that came to celebrate alongside them.
-
Refined details, tropical nods, and a curated color palette full of peachy pinks, punchy greens and mauves inspired this layered design. We incorporated eight unique patterns in our linens and paper goods, all complimentary of each other, to add depth and visual interest through the reception + string lighting, lamps and candlelight created a warmth and ambiance.
-
And as always, it wouldn’t have been possible without our incredible vendors and their partnership🤍

Happy new year, friends! No better way to kickoff off our 2025 season than at this weekend alongside an incredible vendor lineup.

Kelly and Allen are hosting 100 of their family and friends for a 3-day weekend on the Florida coast and it’s going to be a beautiful design-filled weekend full of punchy colors paired with clean lines, organic-inspired & eclectic blooms + fun guest experiences! (Hello glow in the dark golf & martini bar!)
-
We are using multiple properties across the resort to host their welcome party, ceremony, reception and day-after farewell brunch and I’ll be sharing some behind the scenes set up when we start install on Thursday!🤍

A much overdue post capturing a few of my favorite moments from Lizzie and Conor’s day at Allegheny Country Club this past October. These two were rays of sunshine, beaming with joy all day, and made for an incredible end to my 2024 wedding season.
-
With a love for hosting their friends and family, we wanted their wedding day to feel like guests were invites to a fun dinner party at their home- and nodding to their heritage both near (growing up in Sewickely together) and far (Conor’s Irish roots). A combination of falls hues and fescue at our ceremony to complement the course grounds made way for an explosion of dahlias, mauves and greens accents to complement the dining room aesthetic for their reception decor 🤍
-
As always, thank you to our entire team of vendors who helped bring their vision to life. We couldn’t have done it without you.

A moment for symmetry🙌🏻 we’re always, always, looking to make your reception layout symmetrical, and in turn it gives us freedom to add variation through linen color and material, chair selections, and centerpieces.

Swipe to see these tables come to life up close + what this reception layout looks like late into the evening. ✨

A dreamy wedding ceremony for Carly & Michael at her family’s home. This courtyard was the perfect location, (quite literally) to exchange vows and celebrate their marriage with those nearest to them.💫

Life has been extra sweet lately🫶🏼 Fall is my favorite time of year by far, the changing of the leaves and seasons as cold weather creeps in, cozy attire, new rhythms as school begins and activities change, when the woods become a magical place full of color and wonder, and the excitement of the holidays are part of our daily conversations.
-
Our transition to Ohio has been much smoother than anticipated. We’ve been exploring new places & visiting favorite spots often while we *patiently* wait for our home to be built. We’ve filled our fall with hikes and parks and a trip to Saratoga springs, NY. Dance class for Ava and soccer for Baker, and many, many days crafting and coloring together as it’s their current favorite past time.
-
We’ve celebrated our birthdays, decorated our apartment for Halloween, made many pumpkin patch visits and scooter rides, and spent quality time with our family and friends.
-
I spend my Tuesdays & Thursdays in a coffee shop working through emails, wedding designs, walkthroughs and vendor calls, and have so much excitement for our 2025 client’s wedding days ahead. With our wedding season complete, this time of year is spent working through rental reviews for our ‘25 couples, tidying up business processes, and planning for the year ahead. I’m eager to grow my Columbus market while still keeping our connections in the PA and east coast communities as we plan to continue our travels near and far.
-
Life has been so so sweet lately. We’re in a good rhythm right now, personal life & work are ebbing & flowing (because balance isn’t a real thing, right?) and while I know it will soon change as steady seasons don’t keep for long with toddlers, I’m taking it in and enjoying this routine, for now 🫶🏼

I’m back in pittsburgh this weekend for another gorgeous wedding at Allegheny Country Club, this time celebrating Lizzie & Conor! We are leaning into fall season this time around with our design. Dahlias galore, fescue inspired arrangements that make a nod to the golf course grounds, and paper goods using leather and pearls. Can’t wait for this one ✨

Beautiful tabletop details for Eleanore🤍 our primary palette was white and a sage green, and we complimented it with touches of blue & delicate floral details carefully curated in her menus, salad plates and table numbers.

It’s been a month 🤍 since our move and since I was last on instagram and I’m not going to lie, I haven’t missed this app too much…. but feel it’s important to connect with you, showcase our work, designs, and incredible couples✨
-
Since we moved to Ohio, I’ve been focused on making our apartment feel like home for our family to enjoy while we patiently wait for our next home to be built, squeezed in a trip to the sunshine state to relax, and have been busy planning weddings for our couples and soaking in these remaining summer days before preschool starts back up.
-
I’m headed back to PA tomorrow to celebrate Eleanore & Jack at Allegheny Country Club all weekend long! I can’t wait to see my PA assistants and a handful of my favorite wedding pros! 🫶🏼 We have an incredible vendor team lined up for E+J and a stunning design I cannot wait to bring to life. It feels good to be headed back to PA, and I’d love if you would follow along as we share previews from our welcome party and wedding day.

We have two full service weddings coming up late-summer and mid-fall (wait until you see these pretty details!) and they both will be hosted at the lovely Allegheny Country Club.

I can’t help but reminisce on Adara and Trey’s beautiful wedding at ACC last year when we planned Here for the first time.
-
Their wedding design included a warm color palette and nods to their love for outdoors and hosting (how adorable are these bird plates!?) And, after a venue change months prior due to unforeseen circumstances and a day-of thunderstorm scare (Appreciate you, ace hardware, for selling us all of your tarps!) we made their dream day of lovely al fresco dinner and dancing on a warm late-spring evening come to life.
-
Here are a few favorite snaps from this day! I’m looking forward to being back twice this season to celebrate some incredible couples!

I’m touching down in Sarasota this morning and headed to Longboat Key to finalize designs + menu selections for Kelly and Allen’s wedding this coming January. In-person design reviews are one of my favorite steps in the planning process, as there are always new ideas and creative concepts that change (for the better!) when you get to see your linens, flowers, and tabletop options all together.

While I’m in FL for the next 48 hours, Steffanee is taking the lead this weekend back in Ohio at Westlake Country Club to coordinate Tiffany & Chris’ wedding day.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who joined this course & shared many kind words of encouragement as I live launched last week! And for everyone that stuck around as I flooded your feed with marketing content for months on end - I’m going to need to hire a marketing specialist next time 🤪
-
If you purchased, you should have received an email from me today & I’ll be sharing your log in information by end of day tomorrow. ❤️ get ready to dive into learning all things wedding design, I’m so excited to have you part of this community. 🎉
-
Even though my live launch is over, and doors have closed, I plan to launch again in early 2025! Until then, I still plan to share wedding content, resources and education for brides on my instagram to inspire your day & help you feel confident while you plan.
-
We’re not slowing down over here in personal life & weddings either! I have an exciting life update to share in a couple of weeks, but until then, I’m headed to Costa Rica with my family for much needed R&R, will be spending a long weekend in Longboat Key for a tasting and rental reviews, and TODAY you’ll find me for their open house!
-
We have a handful of day-of weddings in the month of June and some gorgeous full service weddings the later part of this summer🤍
-
SO cheers to busy season and all the joy & pretty things that come with it. 🥂
