IT'S OUT AND I CAN FINALLY SHARE THE NEWS!!!!
My styled shoot with California Wedding Day
Magazine is not only currently an 8 page spread - WE GOT THE COVER!!!!!
This is truly a dream for me.…. About 10 years ago I
bought my first CWD Magazine knowing I wanted to start moving towards the west coast. I looked through all the gorgeous images and was so
Intimidated wondering how I was ever going to move a 15+ year business across the country ... how would get to know all of these wonderful vendors and create relationships with them like I had in the South.
I'm still building and growing but dang...... I don't know how this actually happened and I'm so grateful it did!!!
I'm so grateful to California Wedding Day for allowing me to show you what I can do and for this team I got to work with on this shoot who are the absolute best, not only for their talents, but for their welcoming arms and the start of life long friendships …… Happy tears today!!!
MOM!!! WE GOT THE COVER!!!!!

The brand new 2024 California Wedding Day Magazine has officially arrived and it is STUNNING!! I am so honored to have our shoot featured in this issue - we had a team of the very best wedding pros who absolutely brought their A game!
I remember looking through this magazine years ago dreaming of being a part of this vendor community in Southern California and I have to pinch myself today to realize this dream is a reality and a result of a lot of hard work and a collaboration with a premium vendor team I could have only wished to work with! Not only was this team incredibly talented but they were so welcoming with arms wide open that I walked away with true lifetime friendships I will cherish and am grateful for forever…. Thank you team Tuscan Rose! You have made this wedding planner feel like she found her SoCal wedding family! My heart is full… 💗
So many more gorgeous images coming your way! We have been keeping this under wraps since the summer and now we can FINALLY share and shout from the rooftop!! Bring it 2024!!

A few tips about the details…. A beautiful scent worn on your wedding day will always remind you and your husband of your beautiful day each and every time you wear it after the wedding …. A pretty ring box will display your bling beautifully for those detail shots and worth it! …. And take a moment or two for the first time you see yourself as a bride, all ready to go on your wedding day…. It’s emotional and brings you present In the moment on your wedding day… worth it!!

Soft and romantic vibe for stunning bride Madeline this past Summer… One of my favorite things from 2023 wedding season is all of the color my brides used for their wedding flowers! From light and bright to dark and moody, I loved all of the gorgeousness!!!
