When you are dreaming of spritz o’clock, lemon trees, blue tiled interiors, and the freshest of pasta, a ticket to Capri is the best option. But reminiscing on Gina and Jake’s Italian-inspired affair is a close second!

We don’t design for a trend or a shock factor; we design for your story. For the notions of the heart and how you want to love your loved ones and one another.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Once we start the design process and tap into the golden gems nestled within your family traditions…that’s when we really get to work. And you know what happens? Our clients quickly drown out the noise, forget about the status quo, and TRUST. They let go of second guessing and no longer fear the spiral of comparison. Because they finally embrace what we’ve been telling them all along - your wedding is just that…yours. To have and to hold - in both the tangible and intangible.

One year ago today, .giandomenico & tied the knot in classic St. Louis style with a Catholic ceremony at Marie’s childhood parish, followed by an elegant reception of blues & pinks sprinkled with family traditions & nods to their adventures thus far.

From the moment the day began, Marie had a smile so big it could outshine the sun (and quickly earned her the title of the “happiest bride whoever lived.”). Her smile set the tone for the entire day, as there was never a moment that wasn’t blanketed in indescribable bliss.

M&J, we wish you another year of cloud 9 happiness (with a monogram dance floor at your feet). Happy First Anniversary! 🥂

When Cinco de Mayo rolls into Taco Tuesday... the fiesta definitely isn't over 🌮🎉

Hard to believe it's been TWO YEARS since C&S hosted a sweet (and a little spicy) Southern wedding weekend in CHS! This anniversary may not include tequila shots (hellloooo Baby Darroch coming Fall 2025), but it surely serves as a reminder that "simply the best" only gets better.

Saying the words “it’s just paper” feels like a stab to my love letter writing, greeting card saving, invite suite collecting heart. Because stationERY is far from ordinARY (a phrase that rings true while also serving as a little spellcheck trick).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
An envelope filled with vibrant hues, complimentary patterns, die-cut shapes, and a variety of textures can only mean one thing - a bold, colorful, FUN celebration is on the horizon!

When we first sit down to talk about design, the goal is to answer the question “how do you like to gather?” Are you hosting at home or meeting friends at the latest hot spot? Do cook together or order carry-out? Do you have a stocked bar cart for crafting fun cocktails?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ultimately, how they wine & dine shapes how they spend quality time with others. This goes beyond the items on a dinner menu, the signature cocktails on the bar, the wine served at dinner. It’s about creating a customized lens of hospitality for which the event is built and executed.
