Major congratulations are in order for RISE co-founder Julia and her now-fiancé, Jack, on their engagement ♥️
For months, Jack and RISE co-founder Samantha had been quietly scheming behind the scenes, crafting the most thoughtful surprise. Under the guise of a site visit, Julia was brought to the venue and spent a full hour walking through the space, blissfully unaware of what was waiting for her.
At the final stop of the tour, Julia opened the door of a suite where she found Jack welcoming her into the most romantic scene: rich red tones, sculptural florals, glowing candlelight, and playful hints of chili peppers woven throughout - an intentional nod to The Chili Pepper bar in their university town where their story first began 🌶️
The question was popped, a resounding ‘yes’ was said, and a breathtaking custom-designed ring found its place on Julia’s finger. The evening unfolded into an intimate, candle-lit private dinner - just the two of them - soaking in the magic of a moment months in the making.
There’s so much more to unpack from this special day, and we can’t wait to share more details in the weeks to come. Stay tuned.
Endless thanks to our friends and beloved vendors who helped bring this unforgettable moment to life: .films
