“Was an awesome night. It was perfect.”
Honestly, there aren’t words more joyful to a wedding planner’s ear than those. Because of the pandemic, meeting with Paige and Matthew in person came rather late in our planning process. But, when we did, I knew immediately I liked them. I also knew that their event was going to have to be a tad…
Read MoreLove over cocktails
Chassidy and Philip met like many couples do nowadays, through a dating app. On their first date they bonded over the fact that neither of them like beer. When planning the wedding, the couple took great care to incorporate personal touches. Philip made the arch for the ceremony and the photo booth backdrop, they brought…

“Any day spent with you is my favorite day. So, today is my new favorite day.” – Winnie the Pooh It only took 14 months but we’re finally getting back to what we love to do! And, what better way than to start with the loviest (I know that’s not a word but I think…

That is 100% not what I think of when I think of the color yellow. I think of the warm sun, lemons on the tree, blooming daffodils, Easter eggs. Yellow is an easy way to, all at the same time, add light, brightness, and warmth to a room. Here are just a few ways some…

“Dianthus plumarius – also known as the common pink, garden pink, or wild pink, or simply pink.” I never knew that the word “pink” came from the name of an actual flower.

Well, let’s never do that again. 2020 was, well, horrible. While January still hasn’t quite been the complete fresh start we were hoping for, we are encouraged that things are moving on the right track and, before we know it, 2020 will just be a fading memory. Let’s hope … In the meantime, until weddings…
Read MoreA year to remember … or, forget.
“Whew.” I think that pretty much sums up how we’re all feeling about 2020. Who would have thought, am I right?! While none of us could have predicted the year would have turned out the way it did, it did force us to approach each day differently. Whether it was trying to find a reason…
Read More“Mine tastes like purple”
I’m not 100% sure what that line was from, I think it was an old Dannon yogurt commercial, but I always thought it was hilarious. Purple is always associated with extravagance, wealth, and nobility. It’s also one of the many rich colors associated with autumn. Here are just a few of the many ways you…
Read MoreOrange you glad I didn’t say “banana”?!
Sorry, I couldn’t help myself. Did you know that there is no known English word that rhymes with “orange”? For October’s journal entry, we’re going with orange as our second autumn color. I think orange represents the season perfectly – turning leaves, pumpkin spiced lattes, jack-o-lanterns, pumpkin spiced muffins, marigolds, pumpkin spiced cookies, sweet potatoes,…
