“Rain or shine, you will be just as married at the end of the day.” I frequently say this to couples especially when they are seeking the perfect venue. I want couples to truly love their rain plan. During the planning process Kendra + Michael said they wanted to try to keep their ceremony in the garden as much as reasonably possible, so when a hurricane was moving up the coast we prepared all of the umbrellas. Guests would open their umbrellas + close their umbrellas throughout the heartfelt ceremony as misting intermittent storms passed overhead. After the ceremony, while escorting Kendra + Michael to tree coverage when the rain picked up for photos I asked the slightly soggy couple if they were happy they didn’t move the ceremony + Kendra’s response, “I wouldn’t have changed a thing!” I love how she embraced the weather, it’s beauty + everyone was so focused on loved ones surrounding them the rain was just another welcome guest.

One of my favorite moments of planning this shower was when I met at her home for one of our planning sessions. The vision for the shower had been bright, beautiful colors + when I walked into her home I quickly realized the true beauty in the design…The fun, vibrant colors were reflected throughout the entire home grew up in. It was so special to see them share that energy with all of their loved ones.

✨ Your bouquet ✨ Most often I find brides have given a lot of thought to their wedding party dresses + bouquets but have not taken the time to think about what they will carry down the aisle. SO HERE IS YOUR MOMENT to think about it! When styling your outfit for the day think of your bouquet like an accessory. It should accent you, elevate your outfit, highlight your spouse + compliment your overall aesthetic for the day.
There are 3 major things to consider:
SIZE. We use plate sizes for size comparisons. Will your bouquet be: Bread & butter plate? Salad plate? Dinner plate? Charger plate? Larger? This proportion makes the statement or understatement you are looking for.
SHAPE. Traditional round? Loose & asymmetrical? Cascading? This composition tells everyone your vibe + based on the flowers can put a really interesting spin on any of the shapes!
COLOR. One of the most powerful elements of design. Some want to keep their bouquet whites, greens + neutrals. Some want to add pops of color. This will define your wedding photos + help round out how your overall color palette appears. This is where you can pull your color story through + match your season or get playful + do something completely unexpected.
We want your bouquet to say something just like the rest of your style 🤍

Airbrush. Airbrush make up artists are a must for that light airy photo finish coverage.
Trial run. I usually recommend planning your trial to coincide with a complementary wedding event, like your shower. An occasion where you can feel gorgeous in your make up + make a few tweaks to your hair so not to spoil the big reveal!
Preparation. It’s not just the day. Like anything preparation pays off. Create a good relationship with the pros so they can advise you on color, care + a regiment that results in your best self on your wedding day, before + after.

Hair + Make Up is not just about how you look + feel on your wedding day. Selecting the right vendors for your special occasion affects everything about the flow + vibe of how your day will kick off.
- Do you want a quiet low key room?
- Do you want a lively space full of conversation?
- Do you want coffee in the AM then to switch over to music + champagne as the day continues?
You know you want your HMU to be flawless, but put thought into how that morning feels with friends, family, music + a space large enough to comfortably accommodate you + your wedding party. Your hair + make up team will help create that environment with you, keep things calm, professional + fun.
Your job (delegate a best friend or parent to)… make sure everyone shows up, prepped, ready + on time to help set everyone up for success!
Cheers, enjoy + go be in the moment!

A bouquet moment. The best photographers appreciate the details + make time for them. This photo is a favorite from the talented . Things I love about photographers I work with…
* When they have a bouquet moment + really focus on your gorgeous blooms of the day.
* The best photographers somehow know who the important people are, without ever actually meeting them. They just sense it.
* They authentically capture the mood. The big picture. They can zoom out to show your setting, use the environment. Like how this image captures all the textures that make up
* They can truly capture a flat lay. They use ribbons, backdrops, fresh blooms + more to make beautiful moments.
* They can capture your best angles, have a serious relationship with light, become your best friend + make you totally comfortable in front of the camera all while making it look easy. 👏 Let’s take a moment for these talented artists 👏

Bustles. Let’s talk about them! Buttons, ribbons, hooks, oh my! There are so many ways to bustle the smallest trains all the way to the very long extravagant ones! Have your shoes picked out before this alteration so you can make sure it falls just the way you want. For some of the more complex ones (I’m talking color coding, alphabetizing, numerical order, I’ve seen a lot 😂) do a practice run with your seamstress + your maid of honor or close friend who will be by your side on the wedding day. I have yet to meet a bustle I can’t solve 🧐, but keep your planner in the know as well. When is the best time to bustle? I usually recommend towards the end of cocktail hour, after some amazing photographs of you, your spouse + your gown in all its glory 🤍 before you get announced + hit that dance floor. It’s a great time to pull your veil out + touch up your hair too!
PS how fabulous is this red jumpsuit for the bridal party?! ❤️

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving from HF Events! So grateful for everyone who has trusted me to be part of their events + often one of the most important days in their life. I am grateful for my beautiful family who loves + supports me.
I am grateful for a career I love + can create beautiful moments.
Recently while hauling a 300lb piece of vintage furniture back to our home with my husband I said “Your life sure would be easier if I didn’t always make you haul things.” (Picture me doing events while dating in our 20’s + him helping me breakdown events at midnight loading up trucks full of flowers, candles + furniture 😂) Jeffrey responded “but it wouldn’t be nearly as beautiful.” And it struck all the notes. I have surrounded myself with beautiful people, places + memories. For that I am truly grateful.
