It’s only been 3+ years of needing a new headshot… 😜
Heading into my ninth year of business, and here are some fun and random things I’d love for you to know about me… or not love. I’m not sure:
- I’m extremely fun-oriented, and if we’re not having a grand ol’ time, I don’t want it.
- I’m constantly struggling with the balance of both motherhood + owning a business, as I assume most of us are. But, I love talking about it!
- My 30s have been my favorite, and I swear I care less and less what people think of me as I get older. IT ROCKS.
- I’m currently finishing up the ACOTAR series and a big fan 🤌🏻 It got me back into reading!
- I just signed up for my fourth half marathon. Catch me in the fall with rAgReT.
- I’m really bad at texting most days. Blame my little minions at home, help me. (No really, HELPPPPP).
- I think I’m a really good judge of character 🤍Both in my business and personal life.
Thanks for some wonderful new photos, for making me feel beautiful, and for your saweeeeeet space!
You know it’s a good one when it’s been recreated multiple times 😜
Jorgensen’s greenhouse never looked so good - layered entryway and draped from ceiling to wall. Florals adorning the space from top to bottom. And a custom built backdrop (and tufted piece to hide tone cinderblock!) - this was a first for many of the creative teams and forever a fave 🫶🏻

An explosion of color for the Gala, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to really get creative for this one alongside ❤️🩷🤍

Give me all the paper, and I’ll gladly play 🤌🏻
Absolutely adored this suite by and its rich green tones. One of my favorite things to do with invitation suites is to pull pages of art out of antique or random thrifted books I find, and pair them with the suite while styling. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, but in this case, I was glad to have that random botany book on me 😜

Getting ready at home is a vibe 🫶🏻 And getting to spy on all your guests arriving from the upstairs bedroom is even better. Love how joyous Madison was the morning of her wedding, despite some weather scares! Her mom and ladies had her back the whole way 🤍

Something that makes a truly great floral designer: texture. We’re all about seeing some color in 2024 (!!), but don’t forget how beautiful an “all white” bouquet can be with depth, texture and movement. It’s 🤌🏻

I love these humans so so incredibly much.
Thank you for being here, in my corner, and allowing me to do both: creating magical weekends for you and your loved ones, and being a wife and mother. Both are such a dream to me, and family is at the heart of everything I do. Another year older, and another year of so much love.
Merry Christmas Eve, friends 🎄🫶🏻

When L+J came to us for their July wedding, we were only five months from their big day, with much to be done! One of their big requests was transforming ’ greenhouse into a softer environment.
It was one of our first big pieces of design advice: while the greenhouse is beautiful, bringing that upscale and elegant feel would require some legwork.
We not only brought in draping, chairs, air conditioning and overflowing florals, but we also teamed up with .designs to create this custom tufted backdrop. Notice behind the standing piece, there’s a smaller, horizontal piece we had designed to hide the bricks of the greenhouse — all details needed, in order to soften to space!
Not sure about you, but I think we nailed it ✨

Ashley and Alex’s summer wedding was so near and dear to me, and will forever be. It was one of our first “major” weddings to be postponed due to c*vid, and one where they made the hard decision to scale back immensely with guest count.
We ended with a 28 person affair, and it was truly so special. Not only are they insanely kind couple, they were trusting with just about every design vision I pitched their way.
A skinny-tiered cake with trailing sugar flowers. Draping and florals adorning the tent. A blooming lace overlay for linen. And overall just trusting all teams, including their amazing floral team, to bring every piece to life.
Partnering with clients who ultimately trust our professional advice, AND eye for design is what consistently sets us apart. Inspiration from the internet is great - but finding someone to make it yours… that’s the magic ✨
Thank you, A+A for bringing this magic to us!

One year flew by, in just a blink of an eye 🥂 Missing Madison and Justin’s wedding week and weekend, where we put together a team of 30+ creative professionals to bring this day to life. From property adjustments, custom flooring, an 8k square foot tent, lighting and more - these are the projects that get our brains buzzing, and fingers sketching.
I love it so much. I love creating for couples and their families, and seeing it all unfold. This job is so dang cool.

A summer kind of love ✨ I don’t know about you, but I can look back at these photos and feel the joy in them. A + O were an insanely fun couple to work with! When you’re giggling and making jokes during your ceremony, you know you’ve done it right.

A series of fortunate events 🤍
Missing that warm, Michigan summer air and celebrating Melissa and Ben + their love. This was a destination wedding for both of their families, and a perfect reminder that destination doesn’t have to be the beach somewhere. Instead, it can be a historic bed and breakfast tucked away in the woods.

I get it, wedding parties get a lot of crap over the years, especially lately. Small wedding parties (or no party at all) is the current trend, and while I completely understand, can we still appreciate the sentiment? 🫶🏻
Asking folks to stand by your side on the biggest day of your life really is something special, and although it can be overdone, expensive and just a lot in general, I hope we never forget the importance of community. Having those you love walk in this new chapter with you really is something special, and we love watching them cheer you on all day long.
I’m a softie, ok?? 😉

Melissa heard “something blue” and committed to the cause 🫶🏻 And can you blame her?! One of the most show-stopping gowns we’ve ever had one of our brides wear and loved it so much. She had this custom made for her day and the layering was so incredibly fun!
Here’s to more colorful wedding gowns in our future.

NYC again, and still on that high. Thanks to @theknot (and so many others) for a phenomenal night!

Congratulations to these two, and the wildly beautiful life ahead of them 🤍 It was not the easiest weekend for our first couple of the year, and I wanted to be sure to thank every single person that made this possible. After three days of install, vendor load in after load in, and at that point, four straight days of rain, the inside of their tent became one of the wettest, muddiest tents I’d ever step foot in. Even with the tent up for days at this point, it had been too much rain for the ground to handle. At around 5pm Friday and nothing working to combat the puddles of mud, our team made the difficult decision to forego the tent and move everything inside to the venue’s ballroom… on the opposite end of the large grounds. Countless phone calls, friends driving hours to come help, and vendors pulling together, we were able to redesign, replan and physically move their wedding from one end of the property to the other, in less than 20 hours. It was one of the hardest decisions I’ve had to make in my career, and I truly could not have pulled it off without our people coming together to make it happen. Hours into the night and an early morning - and it turned out spectacular. M+S, we all adore you, and I’m so proud of the way you handled your day turning out completely different: literally from ceremony to reception. I know both of your moms might’ve pulled some strings for the extra rain and extra love, watching from above 🤍 To all our creative teams for the day: thank you for trusting me and working with me into the late hours of the night, making sure a new plan was created and feasible. I’m so so thankful. Thank you also to those who drove hours to come and help, the vendors who called, helped make calls, texted, sent emergency care kits. I’m so grateful. And M+S: Thank you for putting your trust in us 🤍 Creative team: @kingwoodcentergardens @archeventrentals @evergreenflowerco @jeremychouphotography @thymecateringcle @serendipity.d
