✨It’s Written in the Stars✨

The Sweetheart Table is the centerpiece of the room, setting the scene for the magical reception to follow. Here, luxurious star embellished gold velvet draped elegantly across the table to add a whimsical touch. Gold candleholders, as well as floating candles atop submerged shimmery gold star garland were placed on each side of Kate’s bouquet.

For guest table centerpieces, gold moon lanterns and assorted bottles held beautiful white blooms and gold sparkling starburst elements, black crescent moon stands held glass orbs with moss and fairy lights, and floating candles in glass cylinders with submerged gold star garland that mimicked the ones on the Sweetheart Table. Fairy lights were added to gold and glass lanterns for a magical glow.

How absolutely stunning are these photos??!! I know you couldn’t miss Kate’s gorgeous ethereal, floral lined Rue de Seine gown, but did you notice her beautifully embroidered veil of the same designer depicting a falcon?

Have you ever thought of adding a falconer as part of your vendor team? This is your sign to go for it!! Not only did an owl bring the rings down the aisle, but also doves were released when they said “I do”. During cocktail hour, guests had the opportunity to get close and even hold some of the birds creating an experience I’m sure they will be talking about for years to come.

✨It’s Written in the Stars ✨

The planets and the fates and the stars aligned for our sweet couple. When I asked Kate what she envisioned for their wedding day, she described it as “whimsical celestial with a romantic forest vibe”. The Chapel at Firefly Lane was the perfect setting for their bohemian, celestial-inspired wedding theme.

Follow along for all the enchanting details. Trust me when I say you don’t want to miss the unique experience they created for their guests!

Friends, THIS is my “WHY”!

I have said it over and over. It’s my passion to help make wedding days beautiful and stress free for our couples, but I also do it for the Mamas, Bonus Moms, and Dads!

Out of my own experience, I realized I could provide an invaluable service on one of the most important days of my client’s lives, as well as their parents, ensuring they don’t miss a single moment of their daughter’s or son’s wedding day.

Check out my full story on my “About” page on my website at romanceandrust.com.

Thank you Greg & Suzanne for this sweet note. It means more to me than you could ever know!! ❤️❤️

French Countryside Styled Shoot

When approached me to style the tabletop and place settings for this styled shoot, I was ecstatic! I loved her vision of a French countryside dinner party with beautiful florals in peach, cream, and light orange.

The light and airy tablescape included glass candlesticks, gold compotes filled with gorgeous blooms, and a gauzy peach runner. I absolutely love the addition of citrus to the table!! 🍊

The place setting consisted of scalloped white plates on top of gold floral mats, light peach napkins with bud vase napkin rings, gold cutlery, and gold-rimmed antique coups.

When planning the design for Madyson & Will, she came to me a couple of months before her special day with some new ideas. She showed me her newfound inspiration and I loved it!!! We made the pivot to go in a different direction and the results were fantastic!! I will forever be obsessed with your Pink Disco Wedding!!!

Thank you so much for trusting me with your beautiful wedding day!! It was such a blessing working with you and your sweet family, who I now call friends.

Wishing you and Will the absolute best!!!
