Hi, I'm Veronica! It's me pulling back the curtain - creative director and woman behind the scenes.

We help busy couples who spend sleepless nights worrying about how to plan a wedding without a traditional full-time planner for a more joy filled wedding day!

Being in the wedding and catering industry for over 30 years in Washington, D.C. has taught me the most important part of planning an amazing dream wedding is not only focusing on the "Day Of". With a background in musical theater and visual communications, I understand the importance of the smallest detail.

Weddings that sizzle or weddings that fizzle depend on the choices you make during the months leading up to your wedding day. The creation of a budget, the selection of vendors, the creation of checklists and timelines are crucial to the success of your wedding.This is why we offer virtual wedding planning services so we can help couples anywhere in the world!
⠀
I love beautiful beaches, ski slopes, lemon drop martinis, skinny vanilla lattes from Starbucks, documentaries, and expressing my eclectic style through my wardrobe.

You'll find lots of insider tips, tricks, and tools you can use to plan a wedding even if you have little or no planning experience. Wedding planning is like a minefield, because you don't know what you don't know. Am I right?

Whether your wedding is during the holiday season or not, having fireworks is a great way to surprise your guests and celebrate the end of your wedding evening. If your guests are changing their annual holiday plans to attend your wedding, fireworks are a great way to incorporate the holiday celebration and show your guests that you appreciate their attendance.

At what point in the evening would you incorporate fireworks? During your first dance? During your grand exit? After you say I do?

The color palette you select for your event can have a large impact on the look and feel of your party.

Many people like to play it safe when selecting colors for their event because they are not sure what the end result will look like. However, we say go bold or go home. Incorporating pops of color is the perfect way to set your party apart from others and make it more intriguing and memorable for your guests. Use resources like Pinterest to find inspiration and to see if the colors you like will compliment each other.

What color palette are you interested in seeing at an event?

Try to not get so wrapped up in planning your dream wedding that you forget to plan a fabulous honeymoon!

The very first step in planning your honeymoon is thinking about how you and your new spouse will want to spend your time. Will you want to be alone in a private oasis relaxing the whole time? Or are you more social butterflies who want to be out and about in a bustling city? There is also infinite options for the adventurous couples who want to hike and explore. It is always an option to do a little bit of everything in certain locations. Do a little bit of research on your top honeymoon destination options and the activities and amenities that are available before booking anything.

Where would you go for your dream honeymoon?

Planning a party during the holiday season can be tricky if you want to avoid the traditional colors and decorations.

This navy, tan, and gold color palette is great inspiration for creating a cozy holiday feel that is still sleek and sophisticated. Gold painted acorns make for chic accent pieces that are a nod to winter without having to use snowflakes.

What color platte are you using for your holiday party?

So many people see their rentals proposal, get sticker shock, and immediately start removing items.

Charger plates, the decorative plates that set the table and go underneath your food plate, are often an item that gets removed from proposals in order to save money. Be sure you do not underestimate the transformative impact a charger can have on the overall look and feel of your party. This one detail will pull your design together and give each of your guests a gorgeous place setting.

What style of charger would you go for?

If you are hosting a winter event, spice up your bar by incorporating seasonal favorites.

Spiked hot chocolate is a fan favorite and can be versatile depending on the event. If kids will be present, a regular hot chocolate station can be set up with all the fun toppings to build your own drink. If your party is adults only, you can get creative with different flavored cocktails that include warm winter beverages.

What is your favorite way to make hot chocolate?

You have planned your wedding down to the smallest of details, but be sure to consider fragrance as well.

Your wedding day is the perfect time to get a custom perfume or cologne made for you and your spouse. Jo Malone is a great option for customized scents to embody your special day and trigger your memory every time you smell it. The bottle will also be a great compliment to add to your detail shots.

What would you like for your custom fragrance to smell like?

Non-traditional wedding cakes can bring a beautiful creative element to your overall design.

It is very common to have an all white wedding cake with flowers that match the bouquets. Naked cakes, or cakes without icing on the outside so that the cake is exposed, are popular too. But have you seen a tower of mini cakes with an ombre effect? Cake artists love the challenge of creating new and exciting masterpieces.

What would your dream wedding cake look like?
