I am so lucky to do what I love. ๐
Switching careers is scary. Even more so when you give up a guaranteed salary and summers off to create and grow your own business. Iโm so thankful for brides who trust me with the biggest day of their lives to execute their plan and vision - whatever it entails. Tackling unexpected hurdles, learning and practicing new skills, determining when to pivot and go to plan B (sometimes C, D or E lol), meeting and working with new and unfamiliar vendors, making new business and personal connections, packing and unpacking what feels like a thousand bins of decor, doing more in a 24 hour period than Iโve ever done before - thatโs what this past weekend was for me and I couldnโt have loved it more! Was it stressful at times? Yes. Was it a worth it? Also yes. Would I do it again? In a heartbeat!! ๐
I am so grateful for my clients, the awesome vendors I have the pleasure of knowing and working with, and my small but amazing team who help me with this crazy life!

Summer weddings so far!! ๐ โ๏ธ
This past weekend was amazing. I was lucky enough to have been a part of not one, not two, but THREE weddings!! How did I do it you ask? With the help of other amazing vendors and proper scheduling. Hereโs a glimpse into my last few days:
Thursday (Day 1) - Pack up truck and deliver linens, furniture and signage to Emerson Park Pavilion in Auburn. Set up.
Friday (Day 2) - Full day of on-site wedding management at Cayuga Shoreline for Lior and Graham. Set up client owned decor, manage timeline and assist vendors, run ceremony and queue reception events, take care of bride and groom.
Saturday (Day 3) - Pack up truck and deliver decor items to Binghamton DoubleTree. Set up centerpieces with florist, set other table decor and signage, along with other client decor to complete the whole look.
Sunday (Day 4) - Return to Binghamton DoubleTree to pack up and retrieve decor items.
Monday (Day 5) - Return to Emerson Park Pavilion to collect linens, signage and furniture.

Thank you to these amazing brides for allowing me to be a part of your special days! And thank you to all of the great vendors who helped make each one of these events possible! ๐

I had the nicest visit with Allie from A La Carte Decor in Athens, PA yesterday! I stopped by to pick up a few items I was renting from her for a wedding this weekend and we had the nicest chat. Her storefront is absolutely adorable and perfect for bridal showers, baby showers, engagement parties or other intimate gatherings. Her linen closet is something from my dreams - literally; and, sheโs even working on adding space downstairs for all of her amazing rentals. This business mogul of a woman is an inspiration! If you need something chic for your wedding youโre sure to find it here! Give this gal a follow ๐๐ป @alacartedecor
