Mid-week clematis coming at ya. How is it already Wednesday? Kind of crazy to think that this time last week I was in Atlanta getting ready for the first big industry networking event I’ve been to in actual years. Bouquet photo by much-missed friend 🌸

“Pool Perks in ATX: An Overview of My Fave Hotel Swimming Pools in Austin” could be my next blog post if I ever get back in the blog-sharing saddle. We’re at the right now—complete with a heated pool overlooking the river—but I’m looking to spice up my dinner plans. Go-to options are typically North, Perla’s, Uchi, Eddie V’s, more recently The Peacock… Looking for something NEW that we can possibly get into TONIGHT without reservations. Suggestions anyone please?! Downtown/south Congress area. Sadly, I just had to cancel my Joann’s reservation because picking Aleks up from the airport was nuts 🥜🥜🥜 Photo:

We’re heading to Texas tomorrow for Thanksgiving and I’m so excited to see my fam, but this has been a long work week and all week I’ve been dreaming about having down time like last week in North Carolina with . Head up to our Highlights for a recap—a few restaurants, the Biltmore, and our favorite brewery.

May all of your weekends be like this. I loved Whitney and Aaron’s florals, and all you can really see here is a boutonnière, but sometimes it’s not about the flowers—I love their vibe and the way everything fit them so well at their rooftop wedding. From what I can see they danced all night under the stars, and I cannot wait to see the rest of the images from — Here’s to magical weekend vibes ✨✨✨

said it best. Happiness for many comes in the form of processes and organization… And just like that we are creating NEW & IMPROVED processes for our clients + shifting to winter office hours. With temps below freezing and a full holiday season with our family, travel, and local activities ahead, we’re setting in motion office hours: Monday & Wednesday 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. This is great for clients because you know when you can schedule calls, and get fast answers to your burning questions. We’re always just an email away: Expect prompt replies during office hours. More info on NEW & IMPROVED processes coming next week!

I have read and re-read my wedding design plan for tomorrow about 1000 times… And there are still no boutonnières. Could this be a new trend—TO BOUT OR NOT TO BOUT? That is the question. Please give your opinion in the comments. On one hand I love a little man flowers and enjoy making them, but on another, they’re fragile, we can never make them until just before a wedding, and it never fails that they typically get crushed with hugs and wilted with extreme heat regularly making me question my sanity. Tell us what you think. Gorgeous bout image by none other than

Sweet PSA for our close Kentucky friends: If you’re hitting up Henry’s Haunted Halloween at our house this Sunday, DM me to RSVP if we haven’t heard from you. Day-of paper goes to the printer tomorrow afternoon, and the idea of not having custom tags for all the little ghouls and goblins is truly spooky 👻🎃🦇 Pumpkin painting is planned for the party, but nothing can compare to these gorgeous gourds surrounding our friendly skeleton painted by none other than local artist + my fave charcuterie board from

And we’re off to the races! 🏇🏇🏇 Fact: We actually went to on our wedding day after a noon ceremony, photos, and an outfit change (although a lot of guests just wore their tuxes). We’re taking Henry today for the first time, but going just the two of us later this week. What are your fave fall activities in the state you live in? Photo

LOOK AT THAT RING. Definitely one of my favorites in the world right up there with the ones on my finger. Those are my husband’s hands. They save lives, tickle Henry, make me fresh French press coffee every morning with the perfect amount of cream and sugar, and hold onto my own when we’re riding in the car. They also lift bars, stages, vases, candles, and tons of flowers into my truck every week, and buried underneath that hotel robe, he’s got the muscles to prove it. Weddings are on the agenda for today, but tomorrow kicks off our anniversary week, and I’m so excited to celebrate 🥂🥂🥂 Photos at from our honeymoon. ***e ***eclicquot

I’ve spent the day organizing and getting ready for some gorgeous “I do’s” tomorrow, but today marks TWO YEARS since the first magazine launch. Cheers to two years and nine awesome issues 🥂🥂🥂 Making magazines probably isn’t for the faint of heart, but I’m definitely lucky to have such an amazing side gig and to work alongside some truly wonderful people in the community we live in.

Will share some from our anniversary event benefitting Mission Hope for Kids last night in the coming week. For a glimpse, head on up our Stories. If you’re from our current hometown in Hardin County, thanks for all the love this week and showing up to make our event truly magical.

Life’s about who you share it with! If you were picking a wedding party today, who would stand with y’all at the altar? Tag your best babes and beaus. Wedding party florals are my some of my faves, but the mauve with the neutral bouquets with pops of black are truly magical 🖤 Gorgeous image of Randi with her most-loved ladies by at earlier this year.

Fri-YAY! Here’s your friendly pre-weekend reminder to pop your RSVPs in the mail. RSVPs are important because your hosts/hostesses need to get final counts into caterers, rentals, florists, stationery designers—basically everyone. Don’t be the one holding up the show on getting table assignments done and causing es**rt card drama. 📸

Happy to my one-and-only strong, smart, beautiful, and hard-working daughter. All the adjectives for this one. Kenzie’s a blast to be around whether on vacay or working a wedding—sometimes even early in the AM at least whenever coffee is involved 🤍☕️ Lucky to have had her for the better part of life.

For the first time in 35 years, I decorated for fall on the first day of fall. I didn’t know yesterday was the first day of fall; it may be only because we had a Halloween-themed photo shoot, and I needed to get things out of my car, so I piled 20+ pumpkins up my porch steps and added the wreath to the door, but I’m totally counting it 🎃🦇🍁🍂 Guess who’s not quite ready for this spell-binding season? And who needs a dragon hat when a toddler is basically breathing fire sans headpiece over wearing the costume in the first place? The cutest dragon costume ever that lasted literally three minutes: — shout out to my friend who painted the most perfect pumpkins and let us shoot in her art studio and for bring the most adorable candy-lovin’ little witch who did at least half smile the duration of our costume party.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BEAUTIFUL + WILDLY TALENTED FRIEND — I love wedding season, but still can’t wait for some late November through winter downtime for cocktails and dinners and getting to hang out more. You’re fabulous Alex Narramore.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
P.S. Alex doesn’t typically make birthday cakes, but is this not the most badass birthday cake?! The florals + fruit are SUGAR (basically everything not in water here is edible). Her inspiration comes straight from her garden which is likely the most impressive garden in the under 40 crowd in the country. 📸

Caught in a summer-fall love triangle over here wishing I was lounging poolside or on a beach but also dreaming of crisp fall mornings, changing foliage, college football, and cozy sweaters. Our first UK game this season is today, so we’re headed to Field — GO CATS! 😸💙🍁 What’s your favorite thing about fall?

Most of all I can’t wait for fall wedding season to kick off next week. We had some of the most gorgeous color palettes this summer, but this will be our first full fall season since 2018. I took off after the summer of 2019 when I was verrrry pregnant with Henry and then only had a handful of weddings sprinkled through 2020 considering the state of the world. Grateful for our life always, but especially this season.

20/08/2021

I TURN 35 IN ONE WEEK 🍰🎉🥂 Giselle here. I skip out of social media more than I should for sure, but here goes Birthday Edition:
1. My birthday is at the end of the month, but the party going on over here kicked off August 1. We’re in the celebration business, and I celebrate my birthday the entire month of August.
2. BIRTHDAY VACAY > BIRTHDAY PARTY. My hubs Aleks, my dear friend and I typically take a birthday trip. This year the stars didn’t align for my actual birthday weekend, but soon. Speaking of parties though: My event planning company turns TEN (10) this year! Hoping the situation of the world improves and to throw a killer party for some local vendors/friends. The second week of October, my local magazine turns TWO (2), and I think we’re celebrating with a fundraiser. Stay tuned!
3. I don’t like gifts. Occasionally maybe something really thoughtful or that I have been wanting for a while or something that is useful, but usually I would prefer a fancy card + coffee / drinks / dinner to celebrate.
4. Along with holidays and the Kentucky Derby, we don’t accept weddings on my birthday weekend. Or the birthday weekends of my children or husband.
5. Paychecks are cool and all, but my J-O-B is different. Life is short. Passion for what I do flows from an innate need to be making something, to create something one-of-a-kind and magical. I’ve always been this way, but as each year passes and as I grow older, we become more selective about the weddings we accept. If I send out a proposal, it’s because I love what we’ve come up with for that day. We never do the same thing twice.
6. Fancy desserts are my jam, but for my birthday, I full expect my daughter to bake a specialty cake from scratch. Olive oil cake is my request this year. Whipped cream on top.
