"To see in color is a delight for the eye but to see in black and white is a delight for the soul." - Andri Caldwell

The journey through serpentine tables, thoughtfully black and white moments, and the blending of family and traditions. We couldn't love Sammie and Jake more. 🤍🖤🤍🖤

What happens when you dream of your wedding in blue and you are big sports fans?

A beautiful sailcloth tent layered in blue, knods of texture, and the most epic sports bar design to cap it all off. Not to mention a ride in Dad's pink Thunderbird!

Swipe to a tour through this dreamy and breezy tent. - Blue looks real good.

How has it been a year?
It has been a year since we embarked on our time at Pippin Hill with the dreamy landscape of the Blue Ridge Mountains overlooking lush vineyards, and garden-to-table cuisine. The experience at Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyards was conceptualized to center around the brightness of summer, local cuisine, fun pattern play, and layers. wanted to play on the natural brightness of the colors of summer, and brought in the warmth of a summer day’s sunshine with soft yellows and golds. Classic, stunning summer patterns combined with textural woods and statement florals created a fun and colorful space and accentuated the natural beauty of the venue and surrounding landscape.

It was a great experience and time to connect with industry friends. More on the Blog!

Is there a special place that you hold dear to your heart?

Charming garden estate venues are some of our favorite venues to be at. From working farms to museums, to family homes these quaint spaces always provide enough space for tents and peaceful corners for first looks.

Up on the journal today are some of our favorites for Cincinnati.

Being part of a wedding party isn't always easy! What do you pay for and what is covered for you can be a mystery sometimes.

To our couples, I recommend having conversations that set clear expectations for what your wedding party should expect to cover.

To our wedding party, be sure to ask all the detailed questions so you know and can make an informed decision. It's ok to say no if it is outside what is manageable for you.

New York Bridal Fashion Week
This week I got to taking a look inside the creative process and meet with designers to understand their unique perspective on design. For most designers there is inspiration and passion in what we create. Having the chance to step out of my area of design and learn from others always reminds me how rich of a world we live in.

More to come in the blog next week

This ones for our Grooms...
To have and to hold, to be strong and bold! We love you, we cherish you, and we are grateful for you in the planning process!!

I really love that our grooms show up to be part of the wedding planning journey. It's important to our creative process that we get to know both members of the couple in order to curate an experience around their styling and hosting personality. Crafting a space that represents both of you makes a wedding that is layered with intentional details, surprising moments and has a mix of masculine and feminine design elements.

Women you amaze me!
Today HOJ had the honor of producing the Women of Influence Awards alongside . To be in a room with over 900 members of the community who came out to support the honorees, to share in the Y's mission and to create an impact in the community.

The women in these images are in the 2023 class. The first class I had the honor of working with and they will always be a special group to me. But today ushered in a new class of honorees with distinct skills, personality, and oh so much swagger. They deserve every bit of praise, hugs and cocktails!

To women I raise my 🍷 and to you I cheers. So filled with emotions and pride for the work and organizations we work with. A little fun fact, I first started in corporate events and they are a joy to work on.

Can you tell me about an impactful woman in your life?

Have you ever had a poem made for you?

Creating experiences and experiencing them are 2 different things. When you get to do both it is a full circle moment. Last year I had the chance to have write me a poem and it was something I'll never forget. I'd never say I was a poetry person. But the experience with Cubs was instantly so connective that it stuck with me. He created this moment with each person and asked questions to know them. He listened and every few questions would work on the poem.

While the poem on my wall (see the last image) is the tangible thing I took with me, the memory of that experience is what sits with me so much more.

Do you have an experience like this?

What really is design?

Is design a process that you go through to discover yourself? Is it trusting in another to create a visual to represent something you could not do yourself?
It's been defined as a concept for proposal for an object, process, or system. Design refers to something that is or has been intentionally created by a thinking agent.

We believe that design is both a personal process of discovery and reflection and a group experience to be taken through to learn and grow. The thinking agent, in our case is as the event designer, creates connection and discovers moments of meaning to craft an event design where intentionality can be found on every level of the guest experience. When design is created as part of an event is it not just a singular experience but a group guest experience as well that we create for. Having a purpose and meaning behind each choice or selection made in the design is meant to reflect who you are and. Acts as a connection poiny between your closest friends and family.

Tell me how do you see or experience design?
