hiii 👋 it's me, allie! happy best time of the year 🎃🍂 it's true, i've been a little MIA lately... life has been so crazy with a now ONE year old (how did that happen!?) and getting ready for my last wedding of the year. yes, my last one on October 5th. you're prob thinking, wow, that's so early and right in the thick of wedding season. it is. and that is just how it goes with a little one and neglecting the marketing of good ole AO Weddings + Events. oops 🫢

seasons are changing and so is the season of AO Weddings + Events. small spoiler there... you'll just have to keep following to see what's coming with AO in the New Year.

xoxo, allie 😘🩷

Next styled shoot coming your way! Any venue recs???

All right, Photographers, you've talked me into it!

I am hosting another style shoot along with my wedding planner Bestie Allie from A O Weddings + Events!

Here's my mood board and color samples!

The theme is 🦩 Retro Palm Springs 🦩

What I am looking for is a venue, hotel, home that would like to collaborate! Ideally, we would like the location to be between the Mount Vernon, Effingham, Edwardsville, St. Louis areas, but if the location is right, we may just go anywhere!

We definitely need a space with a pool, and not just any pool, it has to fit the theme!

Tickets will be on sale for the event, we are keeping this styled shoot small...
The date is to be determined, but obviously it needs to be in the summer months !

We are hoping for local and national publication so all credits for vendors, including the location will be credited appropriately!

If you have any ideas, send them my way!!!

this is about the extent of my floral design capabilities. cutting flowers AT AN ANGLE and slipping them into a bud vase. peep my amateur dollar tree scissors 😂

but in all seriousness, i know i’ve neglected the socials this past month. business coaching (by the one and only Love Lead Inspire ), brainstorming, + some serious momming has consumed my life. and i wouldn’t have it any other way. so i'm just popping on here to say hi 👋 AO is still alive, happy Mother's Day week + stay tuned for fun things coming in the future 🩷

xoxo, Allie
