What to do with a massive fireplace in June? Turn it into something far more meaningful.

Inspired by Mexican ofrendas, this interactive es**rt display invited each guest to light a candle behind the couple, creating a living installation of light, love, and community. With custom matchbooks as favors, guests became part of the scene, surrounding the newlyweds with flickers of warmth and intention.
And we can’t forget the floral installation designed to mimic fire.

What was once an out-of-place feature for a summer wedding became a glowing tribute to the couple’s village: past, present, and future.

It all started with a piece of art we couldn’t stop thinking about, the Natasha print by . The rest unfolded from there.

Think: terracotta, marigolds, tequila, and a love story that deserved nothing short of a full sensory experience.

This Mexican-American wedding fused tradition with personality, color with meaning, and trust with transformation.

A creative dream from start to finish. And this is just the beginning. 🤩

When I began year three of owning this business, I couldn’t have predicted it would culminate in another full rebrand—this time, with a new name that truly reflects the vision and future of our company. A timely nudge from my mentor brought clarity to an instinct I’d been carrying: it was time to evolve.

This past year has been a defining one, rooted in our passion for tented weddings, committed to intentional industry relationships, and focused on refining the client experience. I continue to be deeply grateful for the trust our clients place in us—it’s a privilege to plan alongside such remarkable individuals.

From beloved local collaborators to fresh talent across the country, we’ve had the honor of working with creative partners who elevate our work with unwavering commitment. We hold high expectations and are proud to work alongside those who match them with dedication and care.

Big dreams require steadfast teams. Ours has risen to the occasion time and again—championing our evolution, standing behind the vision, and showing up with heart and support at every turn. I couldn’t be more thankful.

This season has been about bold steps forward and inspiring company—surrounding myself with people who challenge me, energize me, and reignite my love for what we do. From my planner coteries to new friendships made through Engage and other incredible industry spaces, you continue to remind me why I love this work.

Year three has been my favorite chapter yet—equal parts humbling and exhilarating. And if this year is any indication, the best is still to come.

Xoxo,
Elizabeth

Sunlight filtered through ancient branches as guests stepped into a storybook scene—an intimate chapel nestled in nature, its entrance wrapped in flourishing greens.

Inside: quiet tears, clasped hands, and a promise spoken. Then, doors opened to euphoria. Applause, embraces, bells ringing, and the unmistakable joy of forever beginning. 💍

Some details feel like décor. Others feel like storytelling. Every touch at Miranda and Matt’s wedding was infused with meaning, designed not just to wow, but to invite—to bring guests deeper into the life they have created together.

Cocktail hour was a love letter to their traditions: oysters on ice, buttery lobster rolls, and deviled eggs courtesy of their own hens. The es**rt card display, a nod to Matt’s love of golf, blended playfulness with sophistication. And the setting itself embraced everything wonderful about a Southern summer—the stretch of daylight, the hum of conversation over clinking glasses, the scent of fresh blooms floating on the breeze.

This wedding wasn’t just beautiful; it was also alive—with personality, with purpose, with impressions that lingered like the cherished memories of summer nights spent with those who matter most.

When you think of a Southern summer wedding, hydrangeas often come to mind—and we embraced them in full. Instead of a traditional wedding arch, we envisioned something more immersive, more transportive: a full floral wall. A 33’ wall of over 4,000 blooms, to be exact. A sweeping composition of soft blues, butter yellow, and creamy whites, it framed the ceremony with the romance of a garden in full bloom.

The vision was brought to life by the incredibly talented , whose artistry and attention to detail transformed florals into atmosphere. The flower wall was just the beginning—delicate arrangements lined the aisle, chandeliers dripped with blooms, and the air itself was filled with the scent of fresh hydrangea and garden roses.

It wasn’t just decor; it was an experience. A space not just to be seen, but to be felt—layered with texture, fragrance, and an undeniable sense of place

Stepping into Miranda and Matt’s reception felt like walking into the most inviting living room—warm, layered, and effortlessly stylish. Rich burlwood, soft patterns, and a palette of butter yellow and Carolina blue set the tone. Under the grandeur of an expansive clear top tent, pattern and movement played harmoniously with the flicker of candlelight, evoking the essence of a perfect Southern summer evening. And those floral chandeliers over the dance floor? Absolute works of art.

If we’re doing a barn wedding, we’re doing it like *this*—warm, elegant, and perfectly suited to the charm of the . For Olivia and Tyler’s November celebration, we set out to design a space that was cozy yet grand, and every detail embraced the beauty of fall. 🍁

The palette? A rich blend of burgundy, deep amaranth, dusty rose hues, and a pop of cadet blue—an unexpected accent that felt like a breath of fresh air. Burgundy draping added drama, lush foliage brought the beauty of the outdoors inside, and luxe linens and florals tied it all together seamlessly.

It wasn’t just about the design; it was about creating a space that felt inviting, romantic, and like the perfect reflection of autumn’s magic. ✨

The art of entertaining is all about creating a feeling where guests feel welcomed, indulged, and completely at ease. And nowhere is more important than cocktail hour– the opening act, the first impression, the prelude to an unforgettable evening.

These details may be just one part of the celebration, but they set the tone for the entire evening. The venue shapes the ambiance, the cocktails and bites offer a preview of what’s to come, and the music infuses the space with transportive energy. Thoughtfully designed spaces—intimate nooks for conversation, open areas for effortless mingling—invite guests to settle in. Because a great event isn’t just about how it looks—it’s how it makes you feel.
