It’s all in the details. 🤍

I was in the barn late last night adding the final touches for today’s wedding, and this beautiful photo backdrop was one of them.

I decided to add the white backdrop panel behind the frame because, well… no one needs an electrical box photobombing their wedding pictures. 😂 Then I added a little greenery to soften the white and tie everything together.

And because apparently I can’t help myself when it comes to details, I even added a cream ribbon to the back to anchor the greenery and finished it with a bow. Will anyone ever see it back there? Probably not. But I know it’s there. 🤍

That’s the part of decorating I love—the little things that may never be noticed individually, but somehow make everything feel finished.

I had the honor of decorating for today’s bride and groom, and I truly put my heart into it. Jay and I could have used a night out last night, but instead we spent the evening right here, making sure everything was just right for this sweet couple.

Today, we’ll be standing at those big double doors, opening them as the bridal party and then the bride make their way down the aisle. I never take for granted what an honor it is to be such a hands-on part of the weddings held here at Whispering Oaks.

And next Friday, this same little corner will become part of something else that has been on my heart since January—Pretty with Purpose. 💕 It’ll be our Spotlight Corner and a beautiful place for girlfriends to gather and capture some memories together.

One backdrop. Two very different celebrations. Both very special to my heart.

But today belongs to the bride and groom. 🤍
Here’s to a beautiful wedding day at Whispering Oaks. 🥂

’Twas the night before the wedding… 🤍

I had the honor of being hired to decorate for tomorrow’s sweet bride, and tonight, while putting some of the finishing touches in place, I grabbed a little video of one of my favorite details—the dessert station.

These beautiful vintage serving trays date back to approximately the 1940s–1960s, and tomorrow evening they’ll be filled with desserts and become part of a brand-new wedding story. ✨

There’s just something I love about mixing the old with the new. Pieces with a little age, history and character bring so much charm and create that collected, eclectic feel that makes a space feel extra special.

Tomorrow, these old beauties get to shine again. ✨

Almost one week away. 💗

Back in January, I had an idea for a girls’ night at Whispering Oaks—shopping, food, drinks, live music, dancing, giveaways, a silent auction, and a barn full of amazing women-owned and women-run businesses.

But I knew I wanted it to be more than just a fun night.

I wanted it to have purpose.

One year earlier, in January 2025, I launched In Her Words Podcast with a desire to take some of the hardest parts of my own story and use them to help someone else—to educate, advocate, bring awareness, and help people find their voices again.

And that’s how Pretty with Purpose was born. 💗

After everything our Northwest Indiana communities have been through lately, I can’t think of a better time for women to come together—to laugh, dance, shop, eat, encourage one another, and simply enjoy a night out together.

But when you purchase your $10 ticket, you’re also helping build something bigger.

Proceeds support In Her Words Ministries as I work toward becoming a nonprofit, build a website that will make these resources and teachings more accessible, and continue expanding opportunities to educate and advocate. I’ve already been invited into a local school to teach about grooming awareness—and I want to reach so many more.

What I teach matters. The conversations we start matter. Helping people recognize grooming, understand trauma, find healing, and reclaim their voices matters.

So come be part of it. 💗

Bring your girlfriends. Shop. Eat. Dance. Support women. Have FUN.
The first 25 women through the doors will receive a reusable shopping bag, and we have some wonderful surprises planned throughout the night! 👛

Tickets are only $10 through Eventbrite or the event page.

And if you can’t attend but believe in what I’m building, you can still purchase a ticket as a donation or reach out to me privately about supporting In Her Words Ministries. 🙏

This isn’t just a girls’ night.

It’s Pretty with Purpose. And the purpose is just getting started. 💗


🎫 To Purchase Tickets for Event:

Girls’ night out with shopping, food, mocktails, and music—an uplifting evening of connection and purpose!

✨ A Little Front Entrance Update from Whispering Oaks! 🤍

If you’ve been following along this summer, you’ve probably seen this project coming together little by little. This past week, the stonework was added to our new entrance pillars, and we are getting SO close!

After a few weather delays, things are moving along nicely, and next week the gates will finally be installed! 🙌

We’ll still be adding the Whispering Oaks name, along with beautiful lantern-style lighting to finish everything off, but we couldn’t wait to share the progress.

We think this new entrance is going to add such a beautiful wow factor when you arrive at the property. 🤍

Stay tuned… I can’t wait to show you the finished entrance! ✨

✨ A Sparkler Send-Off ✨

Sometimes the very best moments of a wedding day happen at the very end. 🤍

This sweet couple chose to end their night with a sparkler send-off, surrounded by the people they love. And what a beautiful shot! ✨

Heather, thank you so much for sending this photo to us just two short days after your wedding. It absolutely made my day! 🥰 We are so honored to have been part of your special day, and we can’t wait to see more of your beautiful wedding photos!

Congratulations again, Heather & Brandon! 🤍 We wish you both a lifetime filled with love, laughter, and countless beautiful moments together.

📸 Thank you for sharing this beautiful moment with us!

A Little Behind-the-Scenes Look at Wedding Day 🤍🌿

Wedding Day, I hopped on the golf cart for a little ride around Whispering Oaks, checking on all the details before our couple’s big day.

As an owner, I still get excited every single wedding day. My husband Jay and I are very involved, and we’re here working alongside our staff, meeting with caterers, checking the grounds, making sure everything is in place, and doing all those little things behind the scenes that help the day run smoothly for our bride and groom. 🤍

And while I was making my rounds, I stopped to take a little video of one of my favorite places here… our A-frame wedding chapel. 🌿

This beautiful ceremony area is already included in the cost of every one of our wedding packages. There’s no additional ceremony-site fee, no minimum number of guests required, and no need to add extra charges just to have a beautiful place to say “I do.”

Our garden chairs are set up for you, and our staff takes everything down at the end of the evening. And if you’d like, we can even hang our chandelier in the chapel for your ceremony. ✨

The best part? This little chapel really doesn’t need much.

Decorate it extravagantly if that’s your dream… or keep it simple and let the natural beauty of the property be the backdrop. Either way, it’s absolutely beautiful. 🌿🤍

When your guests arrive, they’ll head directly to the ceremony area and take their seats while your bridal party and bride prepare to make their entrance through the double doors. Music begins, the doors open, and suddenly… it’s time. 🥹

Those are the moments we love being a part of.

At Whispering Oaks, we believe you should know exactly what you’re paying for. Our pricing is transparent, our ceremony space is included, and there are no surprise costs.

✨ Two wedding packages to choose from
✨ No guest minimums
✨ Seating for up to 150 guests
✨ Ceremony chapel included
✨ Setup and teardown of ceremony chairs included
✨ A beautiful private property to make your own

Whether you’re planning an intimate celebration or a wedding with 150 of your favorite people, we’d love to show you around.
