Did you know that chargers only fit on certain size tables? Did you know if you have chargers, you can’t “squeeze” an extra person at that one table? Did you know you can use dinner plate at each setting instead? Did you know that some venues/caterers use B&B plates for every guest, and some out one per table? So many options, and so many factors go into setting the table!

A pretty room overlooking the city! We love a good rooftop bar…I mean venue! 😜 What are some of your favorite rooftop spots in Columbus?? Fingers crossed it’ll be warm enough to open those rooftop patios soon!

I don’t know about you all, but I’m feeling some really good vibes about events, and life, moving forward after last year! I’m hoping for some positive changes that stick with us from our covid experience, and I’m so glad to be moving forward with schools, traveling and events! You know what I miss about pandemic life? Less traffic. How can we make that happen again? 😆
Not super motivated to do social media this week…so I’m just gonna show you some pretty paper from 😍
I just love a winter wedding … anyone else? The weather is so unpredictable here anyways, why not have the chance of snow or sun instead or rain or sun? 😝☀️❄️

I have a slight obsession with straight lines for seating charts and es**rt cards 😬 Also, pro tip: if someone is interested working on said cards, or photography said cards, no need to swoop in and grab your card in that moment 😁

This was my first wedding at St. Catherine of Siena Church in Bexley, and it was beautiful! I would say about a quarter (maybe even less) of our weddings take place in a church these days. Sadly, many churches prefer not to work with planners because of stereotypes or past bad experiences (which I get), but one of my many skills is knowing my place in a church 😂
•••
My intent is never to overstep or impose my will, it’s to support the couple and their families - to make sure they are stress-free on their big day. And, to be there to line people up in the correct order and answer questions. Unless otherwise needed, you can find me with my mouth shut in the back pew 😆

Last weekend’s wedding was (nearly) flawless! It’s the first time in awhile that something didn’t break, get lost, stop working, accidentally happen…no EMTs we’re called, all the vendors showed up and nailed it, and I didn’t run one time. I did have to sew the MOH into her dress (it was too big) but otherwise, no “emergencies”! I’ll take it 🙌🏼
This week has been full of ups and downs…kids home with covid, a covid cancellation, some beautiful sneak peaks from last weekend, and a perfectly organized wedding coming this weekend. Sadly, we also lost a pillar in my family…it’s been a week. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•••⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Getting through the week as best we can over here! My head is a little foggy, but this photo makes me feel the calm for some reason 💕
We had an amazing wedding this last weekend, and are looking forward to two this coming weekend! Not gonna lie, I’m really just waiting on some sneak peaks… 😜
Do you need even numbers on each side of your bridal party? NO, you don’t even need a bridal party if you don’t want one! You can only have family in the wedding and do something special with your friends instead. You can have 10 bridesmaids and 5 groomsmen (you know who you are 😉). You can have anybody on either side (no need to be gender specific - if you want your brother standing on the bride’s side, do it!).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•••⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can do whatever you want…we can still make people feel special, and we can always make it look good 😍
Prepping to be back at the again this weekend with - another wedding full of unique design and color!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

At this point, the week of a wedding, I’ll I’m hoping is that everyone stays healthy 🤞🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Looking through Audrey and Jake’s album - I just can’t get enough of this girl! , you captured Audrey’s warmth and joy with perfection 😍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•••⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Jake and Audrey chose a place that want something to them to get married at - Franklin Park Conservatory is a place they visit often, a place they love to explore in our city - there just wasn’t a better venue to share with their friends and family! It helps that it’s a gorgeous backdrop for photos too 😉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Trying to catch up from the holidays over here (and the kids didn’t go back to school until today)! We are looking forward to a busy January with 3 weddings, and finishing 2021 blogs and posts to share!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Let’s talk about the naval sword on the cake table ⚔️ 🇺🇸😍…and the bride’s parent’s cake topper - just perfect!
Wishing everyone a safe and happy New Years Eve 🎇🥳⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We had a NYE wedding scheduled this year but things changed so we’re celebrating at home! We’re cheering everyone on for a better 2022! ☺️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•••⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Wishing everyone a happy holiday week - here’s hoping you gather with your besties, your family and all the people you love most 🥂 May your hearts (and bellies) be full all week ♥️
I’m excited for the weekend!! Lots of cookie making happening this weekend…which tends to include some vino too 😉 And, it’s my daughter’s birthday - stay tuned into my stories to see her happy little face all weekend 💕
Never underestimate the power of a pattern…we looove when clients are open to pattern and texture in their design! It can go a long way in making a subtle or dramatic statement, and doesn’t have to break the bank 🥰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Happy anniversary to Jessa and Josh, who went bold with their winter wedding 2 years ago, yesterday 🖤💚
Loving these amazingly sunny few days!! I don’t know about you, but the sun gives me motivation - when it’s cloudy and gray, I’m not nearly as productive! ☀️
Taking today off - hubby and I will be shopping, eating, drinking and enjoying some free time while the kids are at school! ✌🏼out, catch you all on Monday!! 🥰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Could she be any more gorgeous?? I don’t know how I’ll ever share all of the beautiful photos from this wedding, but here’s a few of the bride and groom for now…I couldn’t decide which I liked best!
📸
Dreaming of poolside events on this cold, rainy day…it doesn’t get much prettier than this intimate rehearsal dinner at the bride’s family home! We lucked out for this entire weekend, and only got rained on during tear down both days! 😉🙌🏼
I can’t believe it’s December already…and going quickly!! I’m having trouble wrapping my head around getting all of the holiday stuff that I want to do, done! Zoo Lights, cookies, gingerbread houses, more lights, Santa, movies, oh my! Cheers 🥂 to the first weekend in December, may you get something checked off your list ✔️🎄🎁🍪
Let’s talk about welcoming guests with champagne or a signature drink…do we love it? Or is it a waste?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•••⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One thing I know for sure, is that it’s very pretty…and it alleviates the rush to the bar at the beginning of cocktail hour 😉🥂
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Super thankful for - this year has been a roller coaster for clients, vendors and us! Darcy has stuck with the highs and lows with grace, patience, and professionalism - she’s all the things that StR represents and we’re lucky to have her!! 💗
Double arch anyone?? 🙋🏻♀️ I’m so happy that bought into this vision…and that Rita executed it flawlessly 👏🏼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Taking off the rest of the week for family, shopping, football and food (and maybe some cocktails 😉) - Happy Thanksgiving all! 🍁🦃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Got these two officially hitched and properly celebrated this weekend…I couldn’t be happier for them, and I’m humbled to be a part of their circle. 💕 These two are kind-hearted, generous, driven, and loyal…the kind of people you want your kids to grow up to be like. Emilee gave me the nicest shout out in her toast this weekend; she nearly made me cry (happy tears!) 🥰 They have such wonderful families surrounding them, it’s no surprise they are who they are today. Their appreciation this weekend gave me new energy for the year to come, I’m so lucky they chose me to go on this (extra long) journey with them!! I can’t wait to see the photos and video, and share more of their story!!
Just here to say that 10’ tall tents are always better 🙌🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Gearing up for the last wedding of 2021…and it’s bitter sweet. I’m so excited for these couples to finally be able to celebrate, and move forward with their lives, but I also miss them all!! It’s on to new couples, new designs, and new challenges after tomorrow! We’ve got 3 weddings in January, so really no rest over here, but I’m soaking it all in with this last 2021 couple this weekend 🥰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Spend the night last night networking with some of my favorite planners, and got to check out the new venue and a new downtown hotel - busy night! Thanks CMPE for the hospitality, and thank you for dealing with 15 planners who needed a night out 😜🤗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Details, details, details. Some of you love them, and some of you don't - I'm here to help you decide which ones do or don't make sense for your event! One detail you can't overlook is the meal indicator (if your guests have chosen a specific plated meal) - I'm really sort of into the animal/veggie shapes! Do you love or hate the little cow??
I love a good black tux...and a fun group of groomsmen! They can get a little rowdy, but I've got kids, I can handle them
