AFTERGLOW wasn’t meant to be a just another networking event.

It started with a feeling.

That someone’s presence can stay, even long after they’ve left the room.

My grandmother. Her birthday. The way she effortlessly brought people together.

Nothing overdone.

Nothing forced.

Just a room that felt right.

My heart is so full & I know she’s cheering me on from above 🥹

Our rockstar team that I couldn’t do this without 👇🏻

Today we bring AFTERGLOW to life. ❤️

This one is really personal.

My grandmother passed last June, and this is my way of honoring her, hosting this on her birthday, in the place where I got married, felt like the only way to do it. 🥹

The name AFTERGLOW came from something I’ve always believed, that someone’s presence can still be felt in a space long after they’ve left.

I felt it that day, too, in the quiet moments, in the space, even in the seat saved for her.

With the help of an incredible vendor team, we’ve woven in pieces of my Corsi family traditions throughout the night, not just in the details, but in the feeling of it all.

Because the goal was never just to host an event.

It was to create a space where people feel connected in a real way,
where relationships actually start, where conversations linger, where the energy carries beyond the room. ☺️

Something you don’t just attend… but walk away still feeling.

That’s AFTERGLOW. And, that’s exactly what our Gigi would’ve wanted. 🥹

Sarah & Ben 🤍

After nearly two years of planning together, getting to watch their wedding day come to life felt really special.

Their ceremony honored beautiful Jewish traditions, and the celebration that followed was exactly what they envisioned, incredible food, amazing music, and a dance floor that stayed packed all night.

Design-wise, we focused on blending with the space while still making a statement. Mix-and-match linens, mini lamps throughout the tables, wavy cut / bow-tied table numbers, and a custom bar layered with epic florals, tapered candles and glowing shades.

And one of my favorite moments from the day: Sarah & Ben’s first look on the staircase. Sarah’s perfect princess moment. ☺️

The most fun way to kick off our 2026 wedding season. ✨

We love you & are incredibly grateful to call you not just clients, but friends ❤️

Lexi & Dave’s Block Island wedding, featured on ✨

From the very beginning, these two trusted me completely with their vision… and that kind of client–planner relationship is where the real magic happens.

Together we created a celebration that felt bold, playful, and a little cheeky… layered with candlelight, beautiful textures, and subtle nods to the Italian coast tucked inside a Block Island tent.

It was the kind of weekend where everything just clicked. The design. The energy. The people in the room.

Seeing it featured on Green Wedding Shoes makes it even sweeter. 🥰

Proof that when couples trust the process and lean all the way in, the result is something really special.

We love you .harrington &

The first clip was the moment I found out about the feature. Pressed record without thinking, & teared up. 🥹

The last clip was yesterday morning, leaning into Ant after we read the article together.

Somewhere in between those moments, it all sank in.

Not the feature.

Not the headline.

But the fact that this day was ours. And that I got to marry my best friend inside a celebration that felt exactly like us.

It reminded me why the way a wedding feels matters so much.

Thank you so much again for the feature! We are so honored 🥹
