Arianne, I know that I’ve told you this before but your wedding truly felt like home for me! 🇵🇭

Arianne and Noah’s Wedding Welcome Sign read “Ang simula ng Habang Buhay” in Tagalog which translates to “The Beginning of Life” and that’s exactly what this wedding felt like. So much thought went into the creativity and cultural intention behind each detail. I’m obsessed with the beautiful color palette of the dried florals and the design of the centerpieces. My bride Arianne looked gorgeous in her traditional Filipino wedding dress with butterfly sleeves that was hand made in the Philippines.

During the ceremony, family members draped a ceremonial lace veil over the bride’s head and the groom’s shoulder to symbolize being clothed as one. A ceremonial cord, called a yugal, is then wrapped around the couple in a figure-eight pattern, which symbolizes an eternal bond of fidelity.

For cocktail and reception, we dined on traditional Filipino food and a taco bar and guests enjoyed some of my favorite dishes- lumpia included!

During the opening of the dance floor, my groom Noah amazed us all by the introduction of his incredible band where we danced and partied away to a variety of live musicians. It was such a jovial and lively time!

Some fun facts about me to kickoff your mid week

🤍 I am a Pisces through and through- adaptable, compassionate, creative, dreamy and intuitive; traits that I definitely let seep into my wedding planning business (unapologetically)

🤍 I’m a night owl- most of my email correspondence and design activity happen between the hours of 9pm- 3am where my brain does all of its idea producing

🤍 I’m half black, half Filipino and I have a special place in my heart for multicultural weddings, I love celebrating and honoring all of complexities and uniqueness of ethnic cultures and traditions

🤍 We are big foodies over here!!! I love meeting with my couples over candle lit dinners and yummy cuisine. What’s your favorite restaurant? That’s where we’re going! Sushi is my favorite!

🤍 I have an ever growing collection of plants, crystals, honey, tea and books 📕

🤍 I love a good horror film, scary movies are a slight obsession of mine

🤍 Weddings by Jay consists of a small team of women who all have different personalities and strengths and I’m truly nothing without them! They’ve been with me since the beginning and together, we make the dream work!

We live for details that make your heart beat a little faster. Details that are model worthy just like my beautiful couple (you’ll see them soon) It was so sweet to bring Beth and Anthony’s vision to life on their wedding day. So many soft, romantic, intricate and personal touches that made you go “awwwww”

From the white roses lining the aisle, to the textured florals that brought a unique and playful touch to their arch, to the single white roses in each knot napkin and the custom name tags for our guests, to the bows on each aisle chair. My bride opted for burgundy linens which translated so beautifully to the overall vision of romance and elegance.

Moab is for lovers and I’ve never met a flower that I didn’t like 🌸🌷🌼

There are a million things that I loved about Nina and Jake’s Utah Microwedding- the table decor, centerpieces and florals added that much joy, dreaminess and beauty to their day! I could stare at these florals forever.

12.14.24 was our last event of the year!
Elopements will always have my heart. Especially when you’re honoring and celebrating not only fellow wedding vendors but also great friends. I’ve been looking forward to this day since Jena became engaged to the love of her life, Jordan. Together they are also a photo/ video team and a mighty great one at that! Jena is the most deserving, sweet, kind and beautiful soul and we go back years! When she asked me to help plan her elopement, I didn’t hesitate to say yes!

At 7,522 feet elevation, we joined them to celebrate their intimate Estes Park ceremony. Jena walked down the aisle to the sweet sounds of a violist- the sky itself opened up just for their love it seemed. Jena and Jordan had some of the most beautiful and profound vows to each other! Afterwards, we feasted with their closest friends and family.

I am thankful for each of these marvelous vendors!!!

It was a snowy gleaming winter land wedding for Mariah and Darin in November but oh so magical and beautiful! Shout out to the guests and vendors who braved the cold to be here to celebrate these two gorgeous people. From dusk til dawn a flurry of snowflakes drifted down from the overcast sky blanketing the Estes Park landscape in a pristine white that complimented their crimson red and gray decor.

Mariah and Darin’s love story goes back years and years- what a testimony to the fact that true love will always find its way no matter what. Our incredible officiant did an amazing job storytelling their journey to one another.

We had a wonderful evening of connection and bonding- much of my couples family came from out of state. There was a lot of eating, a lot of dancing and a lot of laughter and smiles from ear to ear! Their daughter, Nalah was the cutest highlight to their day.

We are celebrating some beautiful couples this year!!!
I met Danah in August of 2024- her and her fiancé were planning their move to Colorado. Immediately, I was in love with her energy, her warmth and her wedding vision. She’s also half Filipino (like myself) and we bonded over our shared experiences and memories.

I’m so excited to help execute Danah and Aaron’s day and also so thrilled to celebrate their milestones with them- from their recent move, to booking their dream vendors to being Mr. and Mrs!

Thank you so much for choosing us! We love you!

While my beautiful bride and groom are on their honeymoon in New Zealand, I get to admire their wedding photos again and again!!! Alexandra and Michael had a vision for their day- fall boho inspired, vibrant and rich colors, family oriented, a little bit of spice, a whole lot of flavor and a whole lot of fun!

I was so blessed to celebrate these two and help bring their dream day to life!!! On the last slide is my brides reaction to the reception space when we were done working our magic 🪄

My Georgia couple, Chandler and Joseph traveled to Lyons Colorado to celebrate their dream day this past October. Chandler reached out to me November of 2023 to help plan her microwedding and it was an instant connection between us!
She wanted her day to reflect the beautiful views that Colorado offers with a timeless but laid back and casual experience. Over the course of a year, WE MADE IT HAPPEN.

This day was so special not only just due to its beauty but also because of the aspects that made it to intimate and memorable. We exchanged vows under the Stone Mountain Lodge canyon and dined in their tent where we danced the night away and jumped in the pool at the end of the night! The little details made the whole day- our gorgeous whimsical florals and our vintage lambeth wedding cake.

I’m going to miss our monthly meetings and catchups Chandler but I’ll love you and Joseph forever!

What an incredible day!
We loved planning this wedding

We are a sucker for details.

Taylor and Erik’s wedding at The Le Meridien hotel was sophisticated, soft and romantic with a hint of royalty and drama. I’m loving all of the shades of blue, the hydrangeas, the gold chargers. Taylor spent months collecting the beautiful china plate wear.

I will never get over the feeling of awe and the fullness of my heart that comes with reminiscing over our fondest wedding memories. If I had a Time Machine, I’d replay this day over and over again because it was just so epic.

The Denver Botanic Gardens has and will always be one of my favorite places in the world. I’ve had the honor of planning and coordinating some of the most beautiful weddings here. My gorgeous couple, Jen and Justin traveled here from Arizona along with their closest friends and family to celebrate their love! One thing that we don’t talk about enough as we work very closely with our couples are the friendships and relationships we build nurturing their vision and understanding their preferences so we can bring it to life!

Every detail plays a part and we want to execute it and showcase YOU- from my bride’s custom henna honoring her cultural Indian traditions to a full vegan menu since both of my bride and groom were vegan. The florals were such a key component for them! Jen and Justin are both very low key and have a love for music and the arts so we opted to have their reception at a local jazz bar where their guests enjoyed live music and the most mouthwatering vegan food I’ve ever had!

I’ll never get over the cultural and sentimental details of this wedding! 🧧🧧🧧

This was by far one of my favorite seating charts- guests were invited to grab a red envelope with their name on it.
Red envelopes or hongbao in Mandarin and lai see in Cantonese are small red and gold packets containing money given to loved ones as a symbol of good luck. In the Chinese culture, the color red is associated with energy, happiness and good luck.

Each envelope had the guests table number inside as well as a personalized note from the bride. Talk about sentimental!

My bride had two dresses- both to celebrate and honor culture and tradition and she looked stunning in both.

My couple are big plant lovers and I loved the lush greenery that we placed down the aisles, on the chandeliers, along the bar and incorporating them within the centerpieces. One of my favorite elements of your wedding day that I love to design is your sweetheart table! I just adore the creative process.

Ally and Craig- so much love to you both! I’ll cherish this day forever.
