Thankful for the moments that happen around the table…the laughter, the stories, the toasts, the quiet pauses.
This year, my heart is extra grateful for the couples who invite us into their lives and trust us to create the spaces where their favorite people gather. And equally grateful for the vendors and friends who help bring these celebrations to life, none of this is possible without you.

Full hearts, full tables, full gratitude. 🍁
Happy Thanksgiving from our Zela family to yours.

One year ago, we watched J & O say ‘I do,’ surrounded by family, friends and so much love.
This weekend, they celebrated their first anniversary, and our hearts are still full remembering every moment. 🤍 Cheers to forever! 🥂

J & J’s Wedding Details 🤍
We love when our journey with a family continues. We first met our bride’s mother while designing her bridal shower, and soon after, had the honor of being trusted again to curate their wedding day.

From the grand floral arch to the candlelit tables, every element was designed to feel timeless and romantic. Grateful for the trust they placed in us to bring their vision to life.

In the midst of wrapping up what has been a truly beautiful wedding season, I wanted to take a moment to say hello!

I’m Kathiya, the proud owner and lead planner at Zela Events, where our team helps you slow down, be present, and fully enjoy your day surrounded by love. We believe every celebration should feel effortless, intentional, and deeply personal.

This season has been filled with incredible couples, inspiring designs, and unforgettable moments. As we transition into a quieter season, I’m excited to start showing up a little more here. I’ll be sharing some of the stunning weddings and thoughtful details we’ve been planning and designing; the stories, beauty, and creativity behind each celebration that make what we do so special.

White and green will always be a classic, but for this celebration we wanted to bring a modern twist to a timeless palette, with each floral piece feeling unique yet perfectly cohesive.
Every detail for the reception was designed to complement the elegance of this beautiful venue while feeling fresh and personal to B & D. Grateful to have brought this vision to life with such a talented team. 🤍🌿

Getting ready moments like these are some of my favorites 🤍
The calm before the celebration, the sweet flower girls, the final dress zip with mom…it’s all part of the timeline. Every bit of the day is planned with care so you can be fully present and soak in the joy.

Grateful to witness and coordinate mornings filled with love like this.

Today, I celebrate my heritage with pride and reflect on how incredibly lucky I am to weave it into the work I love.

Whether it’s through honoring meaningful traditions, like this beautiful Peruvian dance or simply drawing inspiration from the richness of our colors, history, and design, I’m always reminded how powerful culture can be in storytelling.

It’s one of the greatest joys of what I do: bringing your story to life, whatever your background may be. Every tradition, every detail, every celebration…rooted in love and legacy…is always welcome here.

Feliz Día del Perú 🇵🇪

Planning is the foundation, and design brings the dream to life.

For this NYC wedding, we managed every detail, from the timeline and vendor coordination to curating a celebration that reflected our couple’s style and story.

By blending thoughtful planning with intentional design, we created a celebration that felt personal and beautifully cohesive. Every vendor played a key role in making the day extra special, and we’re so grateful to have worked alongside such a talented team.

First Look…We’re All About It! There’s something special about taking a quiet moment together before the excitement of the day unfolds. A first look isn’t just about the photos (though they’re always stunning), it’s about stepping away from the chaos, soaking in the moment, and having a little time, just the two of you.

The day moves fast, and this gives you a chance to pause, breathe, and connect before walking into the celebration together. Plus, it frees up time later so you can enjoy more of your reception with the people who are there to celebrate you!

Are you team first look, or do you love the tradition of seeing each other at the ceremony? Let us know in the comments!
