In lieu of the start of the month, let’s take a moment to admire this “not your average” winter table design.

This was one of my fave collaborations from last year 😊

The components that really brought this vision to life IRL 👇🏻
✨Obviously, the exaggerated florals - TY
✨The monogrammed velvet bows GOLD
✨The individually crafted charcuterie boards at every place setting
✨The statement napkins - it’s giving warm earthy neutrals meets pop of color 👏🏻
✨The cutie ornament cocktails made by the one & only

We love a good party! And this one was off the charts 🤠🪩

This “Sequins & Stetson’s” welcome party was truly show-stopping. There wasn’t a detail missed from the mixed patterns & textures to the custom details (hi ).

In our world, it’s all worth celebrating. Wedding weekends with multiple themed events? Sign us TF up!

As your planner, I dedicate myself to surfacing the details that will make your wedding personal, memorable, and one-of a-kind. We’re going to work together to create an event that perfectly captures your identity as a couple. And we’re going to have a kickass time doing it. If that feels good to you, let’s chat.

Our cocktail hour bucket list (hint: 📌)

If we could plan our epic cocktail hour with the best guest experience, here’s what it would look like.

✨ An eye-catching welcome sign adorned in florals.

✨ A statement bar moment, as well as passed drinks, to help mitigate bar lines.

✨ Fun drinks paired with accompanying signage & a personal touch such as stirrers or cocktail napkins. We love an upleveled bar with a custom design or pattern.

✨ A mixture of both plated + passed appetizers. We love a curated charcuterie board with local meats, cheese, and unexpected accouterments.

✨ A mixture of both high top tables + chairs and accessible lounge-style seating.

✨ A thoughtfully designed seating chart where guests can easily find their table prior to the start of the reception (& in style 🙃).

✨ Relaxing, but upbeat, music to get you in the mood for all of the dancing that is to come! Live acoustic guitarist or light jazz anyone?

✨ Intentional design details to create a memorable ambiance, like bistro lighting, florals, fun linens that match your color palette, etc.

✨And, most importantly, a rain plan! As much as you don’t want to consider rain as an option, it’ll be far less stressful if you have a backup plan to cater to all weather conditions.

What’s on your short list, friends? 😬

CCE is celebrating something big this month…

That awkward moment when you’re knee deep in wedding season (& enjoying all of the special “new home” moments) & forget to celebrate your business anniversary 😂 But hey, it is never too late to celebrate…

…and this one’s a big one for us, because CCE turned FOUR this month (10.07.24)! Bittersweet.

The past 24 months have been nothing short of incredible.
✨We’ve up-leveled our branding.
✨We’ve made countless meaningful connections with talented vendors. Grateful for this community 🥹
✨We’ve grown our team significantly.
✨ We’ve expanded into the Italian market. So much more to come here on this.
✨ And many more wins in between!

The feeling is surreal & I thank the universe & God daily for where this road has led me.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
CCE couples: Thank you for trusting us with one of the most memorable days of your life.

Vendor friends, CCE team, friends & family + personal & business coaches: Thank you for your endless support & always being there to cheer me on / guide me.

I love you all & am eternally grateful ❤️

LFG 2025. I AM SO F’ING READY FOR YOU 👏🏻

The Italian marketplace of my dreams 🍊🥖

When came to me and asked me to help plan their brand’s one year anniversary party (& that it was going to mimic an Italian marketplace), I simply could not say no! A party with fresh produce, homemade pasta, and creative design touches? Say no more!

A few of my favorite elements that we created for the event:
✨ A multi-purposed fruit-inspired es**rt display that provide guests their name tag while also serving as a marketplace item to add to their tote bag
✨ An interactive pasta station! & had their mother on site hand-making pasta for guests to take home
✨ An authentic clothesline that hung between the two flower bed windows to make guests feel like they were walking through the streets of Italia
✨ A display of photography collection from all over Italy in the form of personal postcards

And lastly, the thing that I felt made it extra special was their designer .b custom branding. She did SO much to create custom branding just for the event, from the Bevi e Vivi totes down to the barcode stickers on the fruit that led you to their Instagram. SO cool.

On that note, who is ready for ROUND 2? Yup! two year anniversary event is being held on October 27 at & YOU ARE INVITED. Stay tuned for the link to purchase your ticket 😊

Pick a venue that makes you feel some type of way

That’s what .alexis and did for their dreamy summer wedding.

Enter: ✨Mill Falls at the Lake✨: A charming all-season lake resort & getaway with mountain views in Meredith, New Hampshire.

What attracted them to this venue:
✨They wanted something that meant something to them, and Mill Falls was the first place they went away together! So, it was only fitting that they made the venue their own for their special day.
✨They both have a love for the water, and this venue is right on the lake
✨Most importantly, they wanted a place that felt not only unique to them, but was comfortable for their guests. And, this was the perfect spot!

If you haven’t been to Mill Falls, this is your sign to plan a weekend getaway there (or potentially consider it for your wedding weekend).

In case you missed it…

Ant & I closed on our first home this past Friday. 🙏🏻

After an awesome 7 years in the Boston area, I’m heading back to my home state of RI to be closer to family. And, the best part about it is, I get to do it with my forever person. Such a pinch me moment.

There are so many things I’m grateful for in this life, but one of the biggest is my faith.

Sharing a few really special signs that came up for me specifically around our home:
✨Six months ago, as I laid out the vision for this next chapter of life, asked me if I was guided by faith or fear. I didn’t know how to answer. I knew I had faith, but I also knew I was scared AF. There are so many shadows that come up when you’re making big life decisions, but I refused let fear keep me small. Buying a home in RI has been a big part of my vision for as long as I can remember. I just needed to be reminded that the universe & God really do have my back. AND, they did.
✨Before we closed, Ant & I went to a breakfast spot near the house. As I sat down in the booth, I looked to my right & noticed a big painting of a cardinal. That is my gram’s favorite animal. For those of you who know me well, you know just how special my gram is to me. She guided us to the finish line of that closing.
✨My mom told me that my Auntie & Uncle used to live in a different town with the same street name as us. My uncle is watching over & I know he would be so proud.

Needless to say, this decision was one of the biggest decisions both myself & Ant have made in a while, but we’re happy we got to make it together.

We are EXACTLY where we are meant to be.

Can’t wait to make our new home even more special. We’re SO SO excited.

Stay tuned for all the house updates ❤️

If you know one thing about us, it should be this. 👇🏼

We’re obsessed with building meaningful, long-lasting relationships with our couples.

“We got married on June 10th at my dream venue that far exceeded my wheelhouse of planning experience. I was on the hunt for a wedding planner when I met Carissa at a bridal expo. I instantly fell in love with her personality and passion for wedding planning. Carissa goes above and beyond to make your wedding day as special and stress free as possible. Our day would have looked a lot different if it wasn’t for the planning and coordinating from CCE. Carissa, thank you so much for your patience, grace, and help through the planning process and for your professionalism, expertise, and love during our big day! We had our dream wedding and couldn’t have done it without you we are so thankful to have met you!”

This is one of our favorite parts of the job.

→ Finding unique, show-stopping, and on-trend inspiration that inspires us and our wedding design.

Looking back at last year’s V-DAY styled shoot has hit me like 🤤

I wanted to create a tablescape that was inviting, feminine, and romantic in honor of the month of love. We leaned into ’s 2023 color of the year (Viva Magenta) in the florals & incorporated softer pastel pinks and neutrals in the glassware, chairs, and candlesticks to balance out the vibrance. We truly had so much fun curating this design!
