Today’s event was so easy breezy. Great couple and vendor team, location we love, pretty florals, excellent weather compared to the rest of the week. We’ll show you more soon. You know what made it sorta stressful though? TRAFFIC. To us arriving early is on time, and even though we gave ourselves a ton of buffer time the roads were not our friend this afternoon and we arrived a little late to our event! We. Hate. That. It’s absolutely not the norm. So sorry to everyone today, it all worked out OK, but we feel just awful. And if you see us arriving for future events waaaaay too early you’ll know this is why. Uggghhhh

Dina & Matt tied the knot at yesterday with a small handful of their closest loved ones. Not only was the day of the week unconventional, they also did something really creative with the flowers. And you’ll have to forgive us as we didn’t get as many photos as we should have!

The couple had a private first look at the venue’s secluded pergola, where we had added large sprays of Blush and White Roses, Baby’s Breath and Astilbe. After their intimate moment we hustled down the path and over the bridge to grab those florals and hustled back over to the Oak Tree where our Wood Arch and Fabric Drape were waiting for us, and reinstalled the sprays there for the ceremony. Then after super sweet the ceremony those florals were loaded up in the family’s car to be transported to a dinner reception, and used on the large dining table as a super lush centerpiece. Now THAT’S repurposing! Boom! Triple use, love it so much.

The last coat of paint is drying on our new welcome sign and it is almost ready to be assembled and available for rent! We’re going for something like this one from an event we designed last year.

We’d love some input on what the main part of our sign should say. Please help us pick a saying and vote in stories or below from these 16 ideas.

Welcome, we’re so glad you’re here
Welcome to our wedding
Welcome to our forever
Welcome to the wedding of _____
Welcome to our beginning
Hello, friends!
Happily ever starts here
The best is yet to come
Together is a beautiful place to be
‘Til death
Better together
Best. Day. Ever.
I love you and I like you
In our married era
All you need is love
Something else cute and clever. Tell us!
