Laura & Brandon | 11.1.25

When we first met, Laura told me she wanted the slightest art deco / Gatsby feel for their wedding reception. We brought the vision to life with subtle shades of champagne and slate blue and the sculptural beauty of calla lilies. Many personal touches are woven throughout from the table numbers crafted from books she and her mother collected, to the traditional baklava made by church families to the couple’s sweet little pup Piper who appeared on the koozies. It was an evening of Big families, big love, and big fun - it was a big beautiful Greek wedding for this smart and gorgeous couple.

Beginning February with our fresh take on traditional etiquette. I’m excited to have Lilias & Olive Social Club featured in Little Rock Soirée magazine’s Faces of 2026.

This past autumn, I launched the Modern Manners Academy for middle schoolers.
The inaugural class had the best time building their social superpowers.

I’m excited for Modern Manners Academy to return this year, as well as offer courses for other ages.

I’ve had several parents already reach out for details for our next season. Please follow us here on FB or Instagram for the latest updates on classes, dates and registration details.

The night before…. As a boy mom myself, I have a soft spot for rehearsal dinners. Layers of white florals and evergreens with ambient light gave this rehearsal dinner a special December glow.

With our world covered in snow and ice, you’ll feel all warm and fuzzy scrolling through these images from Lexie and Alex’s December wedding. A palette of champagne and moss green, modern metallics and heritage silver, white florals and magnolia gave a graceful nod to the holiday season without detracting from the exuberant joy and love of this sweet couple.
