M+K’s wedding was equivalent to a fairytale 🤍

Marissa and Kiernan reached out to me all the way back in 2024 and we had our first call where we immediately had a connection from the second we started chatting. From that day, we began two years of planning that was filled with long meetings filled with off-topic tangents, a group chat that went off almost every day and it was weird when a day went by without someone texting in it, and a bond with a client that I will never forget 🤍

On top of an incredible couple and an incredible wedding weekend, the vendor team was filled with some of my absolute favorites which was the cherry on top of it all 🫶🏼

Introducing the Poplawskis 💚✨

I met Emily and Cory through a previous client, and the second I saw their inquiry come through and into my inbox, I was immediately so excited to work with them. They curated their vendor team with intention and familiarity, including Paul Valentino who was a former teacher and New York Wedding Photographer | Alyssa Flood who was alongside me for Emily’s best friends wedding back in 2023. These two are some of the most caring and thoughtful people, and the entire process was filled with “I trust you” and full belief that everything would come together with ease.

SO much love for you, E+C and a truly unforgettable day 🫶🏼

September weddings kick off this weekend but I’m still stuck inside K+JP’s dreamy wedding weekend✨

So many fun elements, so much color in all the right places, and so much attention to detail filled the weekend. Our calls were filled with bouncing all the ideas off of one another to create a crazy good guest experience, welcoming K+JPs guests to Upstate NY with style. From a full specialty cocktail menu across multiple bars (including an espresso martini only window) to our groom wowing the guests with a couple guitar solos - the wedding was nothing short of show stopping.

We love The Quinns!💕

Huge shoutout to the vendor team who knocked it one of the park, as always!

Looking back at the photos from H+D’s day, I forget about the insane weather forecast we had, tornado warning and all, and only remember how perfect it all came together.🤍

Haley was my details queen - she loved the tiny details just as much as me. Planning and designing this intentional and personalized vision with her was an absolute dream, alongside David who was the most supportive and thoughtful partner in it all. These two leaned on each other so tenderly through everything, even through torrential downpours on their wedding day. We were so lucky to have been a part of their stunning day!

This day wouldn’t have been what it was without the incredible crew behind it, navigating plan A’s and B’s and C’s while keeping a calm mind and happy heart. Truly the best!

A weekend filled with boots, bubbly, baby announcements and back up plans 🥂🤍

We had the honor of planning M+R’s epic wedding weekend - a dream design starting off with a western chic welcome party leading into an elegant, modern aesthetic with berry tones and sentimental details. Even though Mother Nature kept us on our toes the entire week, it didn’t deter these two from having the best time surrounded by almost 200 of their closest people. Not to forget, everyone witnessed the best surprise announcement ever during their welcome party - M+R are quickly turning from newlyweds to new parents in just a few short months!🤍

The first half of wedding season went by in the blink of an eye. It feels like just yesterday we were talking lavender details and good vibes with M+J 💜

This one will always feel so special as Maggie had seen the first wedding that Ashley Kirnan | Tarry Grove and I designed and executed at Stonewall Estate and knew that she wanted us as her design team. Knowing that made the entire process planning with her and Jake just that much more enjoyable with the trust and ease they gave us. It was only fitting that their day was pure perfection.

We love you, M+J!

June was filled with so much goodness. We kicked off the month at our new favorite venue, with a couple who will forever live in my heart as one of my all time favs.

Emily and Josh came to me for all the right reasons - they wanted a planner to take the reins early in the process to build their vendor team with vendors they can trust, design their wedding down to the cocktail stirrers so it was cohesive, fun and impactful, and let their team bring the entire vision to life while they sat back and enjoyed their engagement. We took the load off so they could just show up, get married and embrace the beauty of giving your vendors full creative freedom. This one certainly was one for the books.💚

Couldn’t have done it without the AMAZING vendor team that took their parts in this day and totally knocked it out of the park!
