Can we take a moment for this couple? Absolutely stunning. I’ve been obsessing over their perfection since September, and for good reason. ✨

What made this day so extraordinary was the thoughtful layout—no matter where you looked, they were surrounded by their loved ones at every pivotal moment. Every angle, every event, every heartfelt memory was a celebration of connection, joy, and unwavering love. An unforgettable day for an unforgettable couple. 🤍

Earlier this year, I had the honor of joining the board for the West Michigan chapter of Société Privée—an inspiring network of luxury wedding professionals with chapters across the country. Each month, we gather over brunch to connect, share ideas, and elevate our businesses in the world of luxury. ✨

One of the highlights? Styling these events—especially Christmas brunch, which is always a favorite! This season, we hosted our brunch at the in an Alpenglobe. I couldn’t help but swoon over our beautifully designed centerpieces with all of the fun, textural elements and the place card and menu design by , captured so perfectly by the talented .fourniers. 📸

A huge thank you to all the amazing professionals who joined us for December’s brunch. Here’s to an incredible 2025 season ahead! 🤍

Designing this wedding on such a sentimental piece of property was all about honoring the beautiful landscape and capturing the magic of Lake Michigan. Instead of closing off the view, we wanted the space to feel like an extension of their home—seamless, elegant, and inviting. Thanks to the amazing clear-top tent by , we were able to enjoy the stunning sunset while staying protected from the elements. A perfect blend of nature and design! 🌅✨

If you think I didn't jump out of my seat, roll across the floor, jump up and absolutely SCREAMMMMM when I saw this gallery pop through from C+C's dreamy September wedding, you are so mistaken. I did all of that and then some!

This day was perfect beyond words. I tried sorting through over 2,000 glorious photos, went through a handful of tissues, a bucket of laughs and oh, these sweet memories. Absolutely impossible to pick favorites, curated the most beautiful wedding gallery. I'll probably never be done sharing moments from this day.

Here is a little sneak peak of this dreamy September celebration. There is so much more to come. ❤

The incredible team of vendors...

Well hi there! It's me, Danielle. Lots of new faces here so I figured I would pop in and say hello!

Today, I am celebrating my 36th birthday. Really, it's the close of my 36th year if you think about it. Most people think I'm still in my 20s when they meet me and I'm not sure if that is my personality or the fact that I stopped growing in 1998 but either way, I will TAKE it. [If anyone has feedback there, send it my way... but be gentle. 😅]

This year has been amazing, I haven't been overloaded with summer events as in years past but I AM gearing up for a very busy fall season! A light summer event schedule has allowed for me to do some fun networking events - one of which was at the beautiful where these lovely photos were taken by the fabulous Leidy and Josh .fourniers. I love, love, LOVE connecting with other wedding professionals, and networking in such a beautiful space just makes it THAT much more enjoyable.

I am so, so grateful for all of the amazing people I've met in the wedding industry and I am so beyond excited to see what this next year brings!

Let's talk Unplugged Ceremonies!

First and foremost this may be my favorite recessional dip photographed to date! [Shoutout to Kate English Photography] These wonderful guests listened to the officiants message to put AWAYYYY the devices and to be present during this beautiful ceremony of love and look at this PHOTO! Guests are clapping, cheering, smiles... NO PHONES! A Christmas (slash wedding) miracle!

It is truly a beautiful thing. As a wedding planner, it brings me so much joy to see a photo like this without cell phones pulling away from the beauty of this once-in-a-lifetime moment.

We know, we know; you all want to get your perfect shot of the couple but theres a photographer that is being paid generously to capture these moments, and to capture them professionally.

A really fun way to allow guests a photo op is at the beginning of the ceremony before anything begins. One minute to take as many photos as they would like and then phones go nite nite for the remainder of the ceremony.

Cheers to this beautiful couple. My champion recessional dippers. ❤

You guys, I am a yuuuge foodie. Not "foodie" as in I eat copious amounts of it BUT "foodie" in the sense of the nourishment that I put into my body must be delicious, high quality and, MOST importantly, made with love.

LET
ME
TELL
YOU

I don't know that I've ever seen not only such a unique and hand crafted hors d'oeuvres display but this spread was absolutely-100%-without-a-doubt, made with love for both food AND people. ❤

A live painter?! Yes, please!

What is a live painter, you ask? 🧐 A live painter is an exceptionally talented artist who shows up on wedding day with a blank canvas and hand paints the scene of your choice, on-site. Yes, right in front of your very eyes, it is truly magical. ✨

Your guests can pop over and see the progress throughout the night. It will surely leave everyone impressed and the best part is; the couple has an incredibly unique and custom memory from their special day that they can enjoy for decades to come.

Don't forget to budget for *experiences* at your next event.

I have so many clients that have uncertainties surrounding table design. Centerpieces can get pricey and then you've got that pesky budget that keeps showing its ugly face. So how do you get the look without breaking the bank?

The difference between standard white poly linens and even something like a neutral ivory or taupe is HUGE! It can completely change the look of the space with little to no effort and minimal cost. Don't be afraid to play with color, textures and pattern. You may be pleasantly surprised with how much a little bit of color can elevate your space and complete the look.

Nat and Bry wanted a cake table that wow'd and Ryke's Bakery & Café and Bailey and James d-e-l-i-v-e-r-e-d! The cascading florals down the tiers of the cake then wrapping around the base of the cake stand left me wanting to cancel cake cutting to preserve this masterpiece forever...

Just kidding! The top tier was LEMON 🍋 and I could not WAIT for these two to make the first cut. 🍰🍾

I'm going to take you back to a day that will forever go In my books as one of my favorites. Not only because Natalie and Brian's wedding day was so perfect but because planning this wedding was nothing short of an adventure. Getting to know the couple through the process, I quickly realized the details were very important to them. Immediately had my heart. We worked endlessly to make sure everything came together just right, and it sure did.

This couple and their ENTIRE family were a tremendous pleasure to work with (and break bread with!). So blessed I can call you all my friends and so excited to share photos from Nat and Bry's perfect fall wedding day. ❤
