So I think we can all agree that COVID is the of the century 🤪 (... among other things)
While I got some “work” in this week, this weekend was going to be the start of my project with ✨ I’m bummed sure, but clearly Mother Nature has other plans right now and it is our job to LISTEN. Sending love to all the couples who have dealt with this pesky non-invited guest, the couples who are in the thick of it, and the couples who are just unsure 🤍

I got to sink into my creativity today with an awesome (small) vendor team and my heart is runneth over
I’m all for this new narrative of not being defined just by our roles or what we do for a living: Wife, Daughter, Wedding Planner ... but dang (!) it did feel good to work today and to be in my element 👊🏻

Last week and I talked about Intimate Weddings in 2020 and how we are working together to shed light on the fact that ✨
was created to provide an intimate, uncomplicated and design-forward wedding experience for Los Angeles couples with a stellar vendor team to match!
First up, join us by the sea at the beautiful (my home way from home!) visit for more details and how to book! 🌊
** We take health guidelines + restrictions very seriously around here! If we can’t celebrate on this weekend, we will reschedule accordingly! Celebrations limited to 10 guests **
Happy birthday to my guy ✨ Told you climbing up a rock in a tuxedo would be worth the photos!

Meghan and Kyle, we would have been sipping wine up in Paso Robles today celebrating your wedding 🍷 ... well, I wouldn’t be drinking (because, ) but you get the idea!
Postponing was a tough decision, but just like how wine gets better with time, so does the idea of celebrating the two of you next June 🤍

These two had to keep postponing their because of COVID and the crazy weather LA was experiencing a few months ago (which let’s face it, feels like YEARS ago!)
Well it’s true what they say: Good things are often worth the wait! Because woah - these pictures 😍! Can’t wait for your wedding (🤞🏻) Miranda + Nolan!

I’m going live tomorrow, Wednesday 6/24 at 3:30 PM (PST) with my to talk all things Intimate Weddings and our newest collaboration together, because we are little tired of 2020 saying “Hold my cocktail” when it comes to the wedding industry 🥂

✨ ON THE BLOG ✨ Every time I look Deja and Michiah’s wedding photos I automatically think of “Sunshine”. These two just radiate J O Y . It was a hot and humid Redondo Beach Summer day, but you honestly didn’t feel it ... between the love that you were witnessing coupled with the sea breeze drifting in during ceremony, the heat was the last thing on your mind!🌻

I don’t know about you, but the conversations around my dining room table (ok, first off, lie, I eat at my coffee table / sofa) have been revelatory.
Has it been tough? Has it been uncomfortable? Y U P. Is it what we need to do, continue to do, should have done a long time ago? Y U P.

will be making a monthly donation to each of these amazing causes, with the goal to add more organizations by the end of 2020 - beginning of 2021. This is only the beginning and only the start to my personal Call to Action Plan. I call you all in to keep me accountable.
Saying and “knowing” that you are not racist is NOT enough! Frankly, it is so incredibly layered. Once you start educating yourself, you realize, sh*t I am IN this system. Breathe. Educate. PUT IN THE EFFORT.
Take a breath. It can wait.

We have to be held accountable for what is happening in this country. The work, the understanding, the equity, the allies needed have ALWAYS been there. It is time to walk the walk and actually DO THE WORK 💥
Stop being silent on these issues. Seek out information and resources (I have personally ordered a number of books). Listen and meet in the pain of what is going on.
As my strong, beautiful, and oh so wise friend says: “You have to start to get comfortable with being uncomfortable - it’s how you grow” 🌱
