And that’s a wrap. ✌️

10 years of crazy, beautiful, wonderful weddings in the books and yesterday’s celebration was the perfect day to end this journey on.

I’ll be moving on to slower paced living, enjoying more time with my kiddo and husband, and deep diving into my pottery adventure.

Follow along with me over on @color.clay.co and at @themarketatballenger

A huge thank you to all of the incredibly talented vendors turned friends along the way, what a wild ride this has been!

Until next time, friends ✨

Here’s a glimpse into last night’s super dreamy festivities ✨

Somehow the rain held out just long enough for Kelley + Sam’s floral-filled ceremony and dinner last night.

We’ll be headed back for their gorgeous reception tonight!

Happy Easter, friends!

Flower power.

This past week was nothing short of magical (and insane!) We kicked off our week with Sarah + Matt at Glen Gordon Manor and wrapped it up with Hilary + David at Shadow Creek!

We worked both weddings with our floral wizard friend, @cedarandlimeco and she helped bring my crazy design visions to life- like this wildflower es**rt display!

Still daydreaming about this past Monday’s wedding for Sarah & Matt. Just the sweetest humans with a killer vendor team. Loved everything about this day!

This wedding was rescheduled for THREE different dates thanks to the pandemic.

The upside was that I got to work with one of my all time favorite couples over the course of two years! This day was bittersweet- finally seeing it happen and then realizing my professional time with them had come to close.

I can’t wait to share more of their day.

This wedding season is as beautiful as it is brutal! It’s a good thing I get to see all of this prettiness come to life and remind me why I love to do what I do.

To me, flowers are the love language of weddings- they’re romantic and soft when they need to be, or clean and luxe in minimalist form. They can make or break a wedding concept and like so many wedding designers, our designs are floral-centric.

It takes hard work and the right conditions to grow them, and the right hands to put together something beautiful with respect for the flowers and vision for the overall design.

They are a happy place in my work.

Merry, happy things over here.

This wedding with this couple and their incredible vendor team that helped me bring this design to life. So thankful!

Those wedding day feels. It’s such a whirlwind, but there are those few moments where things get quiet and you get to let it all sink in. Those are my favorite moments.

Can’t wait to share more of this incredible day.

It’s the summer vibes for me.

So thankful that colorful weddings are trending! Let’s keep it that way, deal?

Here’s your weekly reminder to not settle when it comes to your wedding!

What does that mean for you? It means that this post is a sign for you to prioritize your must-haves! Are aesthetics at the top of your list? Or maybe you want a killer menu? Focus your resources on the vendors that are the most important to you, then everything else will fall into place. And if there is a vendor category that doesn’t do it for you, ask yourself if you really need that category at all.

Rainbow goodness.

Creativity fills our cup, so when we get to work with clients that love our style and trust us to make them something magical, it ticks all of our boxes.

06/13/2021

Well yesterday was a dream. Coming together with some of my favorite vendors and a truly incredible couple makes my heart swell with gratitude.

I’m so excited to be celebrating these two babes this weekend!

Chrissy and Alec have been one of my favorite couples to date, PLUS we have a total knockout team of vendors. I can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on!

There’s just something about springtime weddings, you know what I mean?

While we can usually count on rain, the flowers are always happy and bright, and the weather is warm. I think they’re easily my favorite.

Do you ever wonder if places hold on to memories? They must, right?

Like places that are filled with cheer and love, I’d like to think that they just soak up the joy and hold on to it. Or places that just stop you in your tracks and make you wonder about all of things those walls have seen.

I always think about the memories our events will leave behind.

Flowers or bust ✌🏼

This es**rt display was one for the books. Using the OG Brower Frame from @leahletters_ and floral magic by @springvalefloral, this was a statement piece.

Hi, my name is Linnie and I’m a goat whisperer now. Cinnamon is my favorite even though she’s very naughty most of the time (secretly why she’s my #1.)

When I’m not planning super fun weddings, you can find me working on some pretty empowering maker’s markets at @themarketatballenger!

Change is so hard!

This month, my incredible assistant Teassa made the move from Virginia to Colorado. Honestly, she had been my business rock throughout COVID, so of course I’m so sad to see her go.

But there’s beauty in change, it’s what propels us forward. Love her to the moon and miss her even more!

Is your plate ever too full, if all of the things on your plate make you happy?

I’ve scaled back the number of weddings I take, so I can focus on keeping them intentional and real, working with dream clients. This keeps me happy.

I’ve also made room on my plate for a collective of things that fill my cup, like my pottery @color.clay.co, styling projects over at @the_wild_hearth, and putting on curated outdoor markets with a emphasis on women-owned and BI-POC owned businesses @themarketatballenger.

I’m also a mom to a 3 year old wildling.

So yeah, my plate is pretty full, but it’s all about the balancing what you love. That’s the whole point right?!

What are somethings you’ll never give up, even if it fills up your plate?

Since my odds of finding a four leafed clover is about 1 in 10,000, these pretty green stamps and a clover flower will have to do.

Happy St. Patricks Day, friends!

Are weddings even weddings if the family pup isn’t present? My sources say no.⁠

Transitional: adjective. In my case, the intermixing of traditional and contemporary styles. ⁠
⁠
I use this word a lot when explaining my style to my clients. Think soft and romantic meets sleek and modern. Win win.⁠

Tuesday Tips // ⁠
⁠
Want your wedding to stand out no matter what your budget? One word: Condense.⁠
⁠
When it comes to a memorable event, quality will always outshine quantity. In five years, will you be able to remember every person on your guest list? Probably not. ⁠
⁠
Condensing your guest count frees up that room in your budget, allowing you to invest more in the things that you will remember.⁠

Let's embrace it.

How to change your mindset from large to intimate weddings in the time of a pandemic.

We had a wedding walkthrough for the first time in months yesterday. It felt really good to stretch my creative legs and collaborate with some of the best in our industry.

Still holding out hope for my spring clients, everything happens for a reason.

Well, this weekend was magical.

We kicked it off with the wedding of Gabby + Marcus on Saturday! These two humans are really something special. Their journey to this day was a wild one, and I’m so glad it still ended up being so special.

Love these two to the moon.
