Phew. 2020 was one for the books! I’m so grateful for this business. When I took over two years ago I had no idea this is the learning curve (roller coaster?) I’d be on. Thank you to my incredible team who supports and encourages me through it all. Thank you to my incredible couples who had to pivot and overcome—thank you for inviting us into your celebrations (no matter how big or small)! Thank you to my future clients for entrusting us as well! As this year has taught us, life is uncertain and we couldn’t be more grateful to be here to support you. Happy New Year! Here’s to being grateful and hopeful for what this new year holds!

Wedding Planning Trends in a Pandemic - 21c Cincinnati

I had the opportunity to chat with 21c Museum Hotels a bit about adapting in the pandemic!

Let’s face it… planning a wedding in normal conditions is stressful, but doing so in the time of a pandemic takes things to a whole other level. We’re here to help provide some guidance for those who are in the midst of planning their big day while also navigating this “new normal.” We spo...

We’ve been a little quiet over here as we work with clients on adjusting their wedding plans and trying to balance a new work schedule with all life’s new demands! But we are still here and ready to serve all of our new and existing clients. To change things up a bit, here’s a little for you! This is my parent’s wedding in 1982 ♥️♥️ @ Guilford Lake

A Whimsical Friday the 13th Wedding at Rhinegeist Brewery in Cincinnati, Ohio

The new year is always a great time to pause and reflect on our past weddings and look forward to the new year and new clients and new fun!! This may have been a while back, but it's still SO near and dear to our hearts...and yours too! It was just featured AGAIN in the Knot. You need to check out this unique and amazing wedding!!

Friday the 13th doesn’t exactly scream romance. Yet for Liz LaGory (31 and a designer) and Adam Hortenberry (28 and a retail manager), it was a great day to get hitched—and an excuse to bring superstition into their wedding at Rhinegeist Brewery. The creative couple took design cues from posters...

Merry Christmas from my family to yours! It has been a great and whirlwind year! Here’s to 2020!

This has been the spring breakiest of spring breaks with my kids—but I’m determined not to let my light dim!! What makes you remember to keep your light shining bright?

Cutest office we ever did see!

We are loving all the coverage that this event is getting!! Cincinnati wedding is on now!!

Friends!! We were featured last week on blog from the . Let me tell you how much fun it was! We love opportunities for and for meeting some amazing Cincinnati (and beyond) wedding vendors. The BFW team was an absolute dream, too! Also, this sweet featured photo from the blog is of our pride and prejudice book page cone (yes from a real p+p book that was falling apart) and lavender for the toss. It was so fun to get our creative juices flowing! Check out some of the amazing vendors featured in this photo:

Alongside organization and fun, calm is one of our superpowers. What is one of yours?

How cute would this be as a getting ready trailer?!? I can imagine the morning with my fav ladies hanging out! So cute 🔥

So grateful for this nine week small business training we are about to wrap up. It’s been so good as we’ve transitioned this business over to really understand the how/why/what of Blue Dahlia. We are so excited about what is in store and for some great growth coming out of this!

My Tuesday office It’s my fav. Where is your favorite place to do some work?

03/11/2019

It’s motivation Monday! Some days, in the world of social media, we all feel a little overwhelmed by keeping up. Sometimes we find ourselves saying, “but what if this doesn’t work”—lately, we’ve changed that mantra into, “but what if it does!” We can’t grow without some risks. Here’s to being wildly more capable than you give yourself credit for!

What projects are you working on that feel like a bit of a stretch?

03/10/2019

We’ve been a little quiet over here but we have been busy diving into the 2019 wedding season! We’ve already had two amazing weddings, some fun events, and some r&r! What are you most excited about for the spring?

We had such a great time this past weekend kicking off the wedding season with Meredith and Elliott at the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza. Check out how gorgeous these amazing florals are by Yellow Canary 😍😍😍

Some people are like the fresh snow, some are like the rain that beckons new seasons, some are a bright and clear day, some are the comfort of a summer storm. Whoever you are in this season. Be beautiful. Be you.

Today’s Friday introduction is Melissa! She started as one of our brides and now she’s one of our leads. She’s amazing, a stationery (and wedding invite 😉) designer, mom, and wife! She’s one of the reasons Blue Dahlia is what it is!

Melissa said this about her favorite part of working a wedding: “Where do I even begin? I love everything from setting up the nitty gritty decor details and lighting an infinite amount of votives (because you can never have enough candles, duh!) to witnessing the tears a groom sheds when he sees his soon-to-be wife for the first time. There’s nothing better than seeing each couple’s personalities reflected in their day!”

Who out there is chipping away at those 2019 goals?! Happy friends!

Today is a very special post...at least for us!
.
Hi! I’m Kate! If you’ve been around Blue Dahlia in the last several years, you’ve likely run into me 😉 I may not be new, but, my husband and I are the new owners of Blue Dahlia!
.
Part of what made me fall in love with this company is how well they care for their clients, and excel at what they do.
.
From the moment I first worked an event with BDE (five seasons ago 😅) I was hooked! It utilized my skill set in a way that made me come alive ❤️❤️
.
The best part about this whole business is our incredible team of coordinators, the amazing vendors we get to work with, and, of course, our lovely couples and their families!
.
We are so excited to continue the beautiful legacy that Blue Dahlia has started and move forward to see what new adventures await!
.
Lastly, this opportunity is not lost on us. We want all of our couples to feel love and joy on the day of their wedding. It is our privilege to get to serve people on such an important day ❤️❤️

01/07/2019

Somehow today feels like the official start to the new year for us! Maybe it’s the fresh start of the first Monday in January? Whatever it is, we’re so excited for what 2019 has in store. Also, there’s a special Friday introduction coming soon! Stay tuned ❤️
