Sweet Downtown Leesburg Estate Wedding - United With Love
I feel a deep, bottom of the heart kind of gratitude everyday that I get to do what I love. It is truly satisfying to my soul and so rewarding to take care of our clients, their guests and the vendors we collaborate with. We pour over the details, obsess about the timeline to maximize every. single. second of a day that goes by at warp speed and we strive for magic when designing and installing our plans and designs. It's ALL SO REWARDING and it's always been enough to keep us going at full steam ahead ------ but it sure is nice to get surprised with a beautiful publication from time to time! https://unitedwithlove.com/2020/02/24/sweet-downtown-leesburg-estate-wedding/

Keren + Devin are MARRIED 💛
Here's wedding number TWO of this past weekend! AND OH MY!!! It's a stunning one with ALL the details! I tell you what, not only did Keren literally have every single detail (big and small) planned SO beautifully, she also had the BEST attitude EVER about having not so ideal weather for her big day. While it rained quite literally the entire day, their dream team of vendors made their dreams come true! I am SO obsessed with every single part of their wedding day! SOOOOOO freaking happy for these two!!!
